    Volkswagen Super Bowl 2012 Spot Is Wonderful - Until It Shoehorned Star Wars In

    DateWed, February 1, 2012

    Last year, Volkswagen by all account "won" the annual competition of who could deliver the best Super Bowl TV spot. You remember it was about the little boy in his Darth Vader costume, to the tune of John Williams in the background, trying to use the Force at home. Perfectly cute li'l ad and you could see how everyone flipped out for it even if you’re not a Star Wars fan.

    Well, here is Volkswagen's follow-up commerical to play this Sunday:

    Absolutely no reason for there to be anything Star Wars related here when the commercial was already adorable on its own about a dog getting into shape.

    As I suspected, the "post-Super Bowl" airings of the commercial don't feature the Star Wars ending.
    I get it was supposed to be a nod to last year, but I agree that it wasn't necessary.
