EP3: ROTS Burger King Promotional Material
Wed, Nov 17, 04 11:03:56 AM EST


We've received scans of the Burger King marketing plan for 'Star Wars: Episode III - Revenge of the Sith', and it includes some pretty cool Star Wars toys that will be given away in kids meals.

Here's some of the details of the marketing plan:
Beginning May 16, 2005, for six weeks, Burger King restaurants will offer consumers 'The Star Wars Collection' - a saga-spanning collection of 30 Star Wars Super-D toys featuring key icons from all 6 star wars movies!

There are five categories of Star Wars Super-D toys, each featuring a unique function.

The categories are pull-backs, wind-ups, water squirters, plushes and image viewers.

The 'Revenge of the Sith' toys include a General Grievous wind-up, a Tarfful plush and an Obi-Wan Kenobi image viewer, featuring 6 scenes from Episode III. But the coolest is a 31st item which is a limited edition 2 in 1 Darth Vader / Anakin Skywalker toy.

Click on the images above to check them out. 31 toys - that's a lot of meals to go through.

.:Space Opera:.
i cant see those pics cause im at school and they get blocked because its an auction site or somethng

bobafett81
My goodness! Darth Sidious is REVEALED!!!

h**p://cgi.theforce.net/theforce/image.cgi?Image=episode3/newspics/tfn-burgerking_sw-03.jpg

Mempho76
Sidious' eyes look weird... But he looks evil as ever!

eXSBass
Greivious is on a rape-em-up mission hunting Padme to get at Anakin

Anakin2Vader
looks similar to Naboo but I cant see any reason for him to be there...

Sidious looks crazy I cant wait for this

PVS
you know...i have to say the new images are cool...

...but that has got to be some of the crappiest photoshop work.
that group-sith picture is HORRIBLE.

looks like half of christopher lee's face fell off
just a crap job, from a crap food franchise

.:Space Opera:.
well macdonald's is better yes. but i wish they would bring back that franchise sell thing with taco bell, pizza hut and KFC. that was cool, there was so much stuff you could get.

CBright7831
Is that pic of GG real?

.:Space Opera:.
its from the BK thing i thought.

vador_2444
PVS , do you know why we can't see anakin on the first pic ?

PVS
it looks like a magazine-type spread, with anakin's pic running over the seam.
perhaps they clipped it out because it didnt scan well? who knows

.:Space Opera:.
oh well, like we havent seen enough of that beautiful visage already!

Jodo kast
I think that's Grievous on Utuapan.

.:Space Opera:.
yeah prolly

darktim1
Think the pics are cool.

PVS
doesnt GG look kinda goofy in that pic? (utuapa or naboo)
looks more like comic relief

.:Space Opera:.
yeah i dont know. i hope that thats not a finished shot.

musashi_sw
i hate the picture of gg

Count Doodoo
I don't think there's any grass on Utapau.

LanİeWindu
The GG shot kinda reminds me of the C-3PO shot in Episode 2 where we first see him the shot just didn't work.

vanyoda
Thanks PVS for posting the photo links. I really
like the group photo ,it's a shame about the
face of Anakin cut off in the middle.

PVS
doesnt that sith group shot kinda remind you of the cover of goodfellas? laughing out loud

.:Space Opera:.
heheh. good one...

vanyoda
Your right is does PVS , I hope someone here
maybe cleans up the photo, Anakin's face,
Darth's light saber, Count Dooku, better
ROTS banner etc. It would make a great
desktop picture.

laughing out loud hey, i was inspired laughing out loud

.:Space Opera:.
big grin stick out tongue eek! rolling on floor laughing laughing

Stunrun
LOLeek!laughing out loud now thats a better job! well donewink

btw - The man who owned Burger King died in my mother's nursing home. Everyone of the little old ladies used to give me money, and this guy gave me jack! he was a billionaire, and he kept on speaking russian, so he was a little wierd

Useless fact /\ /\ - but because of him, i never go to BK ever againstick out tongue, but since Lucasfilm have made the deal, i might be tempted to pop inwink

eXSBass
ROLLING ON THE FLOOR LAUGHING MY ****ING ARSE OFF! Oh crap...PVS I love you man. You made my day!

Just incase those who don't get the joke...watch Goodfellas. And look at this:

Stunrun
I love that moviewink

WHATS SO FUNNY! AM I A CLOWN? AM I HERE TO AMUSE YOU!?

laughing out loudlaughinglaughing out loud

.:Space Opera:.
huh? blink stick out tongue

Stunrun
thats a quote from the movie, Spacewink

.:Space Opera:.
oh never seen it

Stunrun
I think Samuel L. Jackson had a cameo appearance in that movie, anyways back on topicstick out tongue

Is it just me? or does GG look like he's from a video game in that poster? im assuming he is, otherwise i'd be disapointedsad

.:Space Opera:.
ooooh can you imagine a video game where you play as grevious?!! that would kick some major ARSE!

LanİeWindu
No, that's too good for a video game, even a cut scene in the game wouldn't look that good.

Stunrun
I guess its been scaled down a little

.:Space Opera:.
yeah by te looks of it he was added in to that scene because they didnt want to reveal where he really was standing yet.

Grievous_90210
chewbacca looks like he is carrying an extra large version of palpatine staff in rotj

Grievous_90210
but i agree grievous looks like shit the os shot was better

Grievous_90210
and on the toy shot the lizard bogs / is that what obi wan rides on when he chases gg

vanyoda
I thought I would do a quick fix on the Burger
King group photo,

mc pee pants
i like that vader/anakin one. i'm gonna look for that one.

SMOKE187
palpatine looks sick man

lucasfilm
LOL great find pvs i love the grievous wind up!
yeah i love the white sillouhette around palpatine! crack job crack job

.:Space Opera:.
ha photos geeks i love it.

lucasfilm
yeah lol well if i wanna be a graphic designewr when i get older, i have to notice these things you know?

lucasfilm
just a little more editing. i ddint like the GG pic they had on the BK thing so i replaced it. yeah yeah, i know it's a painting but i think it fits okay. i change R2 so that you can actually see his "face" and i put a little more of yodas lightsaber into it. another thing is that i changed the face a little that vanyoda put up there so that it lloks a little less forced.

dont get me wrong, i just love your work VAN, it has a certain quality to it that if anyone tries to pass it off as theirs, we all know it's yours

moonwalker741
thats yodas lightsaber? i thought it was obi-wans? was tehre a discussion on this, cause i just skipped to the last page

ctsketch
Its Blue in the original, its obiwan's

vanyoda
That's great lucasfilm, I had meant to extend Yoda's
light saber. I have now added the light saber to my
original collage.

.:Space Opera:.
nice sig yoda, it reminds me of super bombad racing!

eXSBass
Why is Dooku smiling in that picture? It isn't even a sinister smile. It's a funny smile.

PVS
its a kinder gentler dooku laughing out loud

vanyoda
Hey it's Burger King ,he just ate a double
whopper with cheese, Yoda is reaching
out for some fries and Sidious has the trotslaughing

.:Space Opera:.
droolio

bmw2002
This is not referring to the Redo's...but I think the orginal concept is pretty weak. There's now fluidity in the layout. They're just separate photos stuck together. Even the color balance is off. Like a bunch of cardboard cutouts in the same room.

For all the slick stuff they put out...this is pretty weak.

.:Space Opera:.
yeah but ya know, it was prolly burger king's graphics artists. not lucasfilm's. lucas probly gave them some pics and said "hey you can use these if you want..." type stuff.

bmw2002
Yup. You're most likely right. That's what I was thinking too.

It would have been nice to see the dark side (left) highlighted with red hues and perhaps a crimson sky...along with

1. Vader with clenched fist
2. Emperor with force lightning
3. Grievious' cloak unfurled behind him....

Light side with their distictive attributes and with Anakin clenching his teeth with a raised light sabre in attack mode.

I guess I wanted more excitement and movement. But as you said..BK artists.

.:Space Opera:.
well they were soo limited in what they could you i spect.

bmw2002
Yup...i agree.
Still nice to see though. I'm getting a flavour of the OT with overall idea.

Warms the belly ;-)

lucasfilm
yeah.
and i thought the saber was yodas. the pose OBI is in just doesnt really suit and i thought it would be awesome if yoda had his saber.

lucasfilm
hey, the pics were taken down by the request of burger king! good thing i saved all the good ones.

LOL
