This blerd is counting down the days to see the Solo origin story that will show how Han, Chewie and the game with Lando that had them winning the Millennium Falcon! So imagine my excitement when Lucasfilm saying that Denny’s, Esurance, General Mills, Nissan, SOLO Cup and Symantec are working on a worldwide promotional campaign to support “Solo: A Star Wars Story,”opening on May 25.
I’m not sure what the other brands will do but I KNOW Nissan will have this fangirl carchick squealing like a piglet! Nissan’s collaboration from the last two films had me oohing at the LA Auto show with all the cars I’d want if I had a million dollars and a twenty car garage! Heck that Titan Truck At-At had me thinking I might switch sides for the Empire (they have ALL the best toys and the most stylish uniforms).
Really when the Nissan design team collaborates with a film they don’t come to play because the Nissan Leaf car’s designed for ‘A Wrinkle in Time’ impressed me with the spirit of the three guiding women.
“Our six promotional partners for ‘Solo: A Star Wars Story’ have done a fantastic job developing first-class, innovative campaigns in support of the film,” says Lylle Breier, Sr. Vice President, Global Marketing Partnerships, Walt Disney Studios. “We are excited to share the compelling experiences and relevant activations that our partners have created for our fans.”
