Star Wars and Taylor Wines

This 1978 marketing video starts off as a homage to Star Wars and then bizarrely segues into wine sales. Around 5 minutes in, the C-3PO character starts disco dancing.

Looks like some serious machine love. I' sure 3-CPO has the right to0ls.

Just from the post still I like seeing her boob and nipple hanging out.

This is so wrong on so many levels.... I'm 100% sure Lucas didn't get a dime and the if the wine came from US grapes then it could NOT have been Champaign.

Other than that it was just bad.

That's as bad as all those dangers of venereal disease movies we had to watch in high school.

I can't really see having R2D2 as a spokesman -- he's so foul, everything he says has to be beeped out!

They couldn't have been Champagne (France), but they could have been Champaign (Illinois)!

Sand wine from Tatooine. Darth Vader pinot noir. Luke Skywalker Chardonnay and Princess Leia Riesling.
