Park West resident and makeup man, Anthony Gordon, had an “out of this world experience” this week working on commercials for Burger King’s new Star Wars campaign. The ads feature Chewbacca, Darth Vader, Storm Troopers, R2-D2 and C-3PO.
The characters and costumes were directly
from Lucas Studios, and Anthony was so
excited to finally meet R2-D2 that he couldn’t
help himself from giving the little droid a big bog kiss!!! The C-3PO suit was the same as the one on display at the Smithsonian Museum,
but his favorite was Chewbacca! What a beast!! >
In the TV commercials the Star Wars characters are new hires at Burger King.
Imagine trying to get Darth Vader to mop, getting Chewbacca to use a hair net or teaching a storm trooper to be a fry cook. We hear they will be very funny spots.
Thanks for sharing, Anthony!
