May the 4th Be With You: Brand Wars Day!

The cosmic epic of Star Wars is a never-ending tale of twirls and twists, much like a smooth dance. It consists of three trilogies that have entranced the souls of millions of fans from all around the globe. Despite its humble beginnings, no one could have thought that Star War would be such a triumph. It has become such a cultural phenomenon, joining people from all over the world together. This boundless universe of infinite possibilities has become a tantalizing marketing opportunity for brands. Star Wars Day, which takes place every May 4th, stands as a trove of promotional prospects for brands to engage with fans and pique their interest with their brands. Countless companies have profited from this opportunity and unveiled a plethora of Star Wars-themed products and giveaways. From fast-food franchises to gaming companies and even automotive brands, it seems as though everyone is looking to monetize the magnetic appeal of the Star Wars franchise. Some really creative ideas used by brands are listed below:

1. Slight Changes in the Packaging

Now you might wonder how changing packaging can help with marketing. Well, the answer is very simple, daring brands make minor tweaks to their packaging during the time window of Star Wars Day for some period of time. Basically, their tactic is to shine like a lightsaber on the 4th of May. The Star Wars fandom is a force to be reckoned with. And for those targeting the outer edges of this galactic community, no effort goes to waste. For even if they capture a mere few, the journey is worth it, as all Jedi-minded devotees possess an unquenchable thirst for all things related to Star Wars!

2. Cross Over between Brands

During this galactic time, many brands collaborate with the Star Wars franchise. Brands try their best to make their customers happy with creative ideas. This sparks interesting collaborations among them which creates magic in the market. A fascinating illustration is the collaboration of ‘STAR WARS AND ASSASSIN’S CREED’. It’s a blend of two epic franchises that one could only dream of. One can say that this was a fantasy for gamers and Star Wars fans. In 2018, American Tourister outdid themselves by presenting suitcases embellished with stunning Star Wars themes. This is an indication of how brands use their imaginative powers to charm customers and add vibrancy to their products.

3. Creative Instagram and Twitter Ads

In the digital age of marketing, producing creative advertisements is a must. And no brand wants to lose in the race. How splendid it is to witness fun-filled ads that brim with creativity and amusement. An amazing instance is McDonald’s Instagram ad from 2018 that featured a mouth-watering burger accompanied by an imaginative caption. Also, Porsche triumphed in 2017 with a Twitter ad that left car enthusiasts and Star Wars enthusiasts alike spellbound, as it read, “I AM YOUR FATHER”. They loved the underlying meaning behind it.

Let us not forget the heavy hitters in the land of advertising, such as Uber, Twix, Xbox, and Nissan, who consistently bring their A game and display their innovative powers. These brands are experts in showcasing their products in a manner that is both imaginative and captivating. On the 4th of May 2016, Domino’s undoubtedly stole the show with their unparalleled creativity. Well, they worked their magic by sharing an image of a “Star Wars” enthusiast decked out in a costume crafted entirely from Domino’s pizza boxes. And let me tell you, the audience was completely in love with the ingenious masterpiece!

4. Discounts and offers during the 4th of May

Brands and companies offer a good amount of offers and discounts during and on 4th of May every year. The 4th of May has truly become a great phenomenon all around the world. Star Wars fans have the unique opportunity to take advantage of sales events from popular brands like ‘Build a Bear’, ‘Lego’ and ‘Amazon’ to add to their treasured collection of galactic merchandise. These promotions often offer discounts on a variety of products, including rare and limited edition toys that are highly sought after by enthusiasts. These offers and discounts come in handy for Galactica creatures. All the Star Wars lovers go at these in full force. A recent example of an amazing offer in the year 2023 is by GetSetHome. Embark on a galactic adventure with GetSetHome, as they bring you an offer that’s out of this world!

His weight over Steve’s hips shifts, and then he’s pressing his forehead against Steve’s. Something about it, how Eddie just holds himself there, nose brushing against Steve’s and breathing against his lips, makes Steve go absolutely still. The well of tenderness in his chest is downright embarrassing, and he worries that if he moves at all, it’ll spill everywhere and ruin this surprisingly tender moment.

I love rebel fox's ridiculously big sleeves

So glad you do — I dearly love them too. So many opportunities for flourishing and swishing from a man you would expect to do exactly neither and never

Also. You have given me the opportunity to EXPOUND and I’m taking it

The sleeve is not only aesthetic, but so EXTRA

CW mutilation: Fox’s right hand index-finger: “Ahsoka’s Gift” - In the arc where Fives (appears) to get shot by Fox, enraged by this and by her treatment by the Coruscant guard during her trial arc, Ahsoka takes revenge on the offending digit that shot the gun. With her teeth, btw — it gets a bit wild. Side-note: It factors in for the other clones that Fox is not right-handed, but that’s the hand he uses to shoot Fives. Then again, most clones are trained/raised/adjusted to be ambidextrous, so — it’s just odd all around, from the outside.

GAR armor: In keeping with the AU title and inspiration (Repurposing GAR armor towards the end of pulverizing wrinkly Sith — A guide by CC-1010, ecstatically-ex-marshal commander of Coruscant), Fox has kept his GAR shoulder-guards, a cutout of his chestplate, and knee-guards (plus one shin-guard), though the paint on them has been adjusted or worn.

Oversized sleeve: Beneath the batwing sleeve and dramatic flair, Fox is hiding whatever the rebellion uses instead of the Mandalorian Whistling Birds, in addition to an elbow-mini-blaster that fires a max of four shots, and extra ammo. (Also the sleeve is removable — think detachable bridal train)

CW self-destruction: On the reverse side of his chest-plate piece, Fox has an explosive device with multiple ways to rig it to explode. While it is detachable and likely could be used to explode OTHER things, the primary intent is a last resort gesture of defiance should he run out of other options.

Fox also has a replaced tooth (which he makes use of, but no spoilers here) and a metal plate protecting the surgery point for when his chip was removed. Since Fox is Fox, he prioritized speed over care at the time, so it is permanent vulnerability due to how his skull was treated and recovered afterward.

Do you see the knifes on his thigh they are small but they are important

Comm) #Is the only one who knows what’s under that stupid cape-sleeve thing bc Cody would absolutely do the same thing #Cody: *slaps Fox’s shoulder giving Obi-Wan a look right in the middle of a negotiation meeting between the rebels/GAR/Republic* #Cody: This shabuir can hold so much karkin weaponry #Cw: mutilation (minor) #Cw: Self-destruction (hypothetical) #this is so indulgent but please indulge with me #the GAR symbol over his heart and that being the piece that has the self-destruct device is the only brand of symbolism Fox can do #Repurposing GAR Armor AU #OmPu Ask Hours

Imagine a world where Obi-Wan survives episode IV and has to deal with another generation of disaster romances with the Skywalker family.

Leia: *falls head over heels with a dashingly handsome and very mouthy rogue who has more red flags than green*

Obi-Wan: “Oh no.”

Luke: *flirts with a stubborn yet extremely caring world leader despite the Jedi’s no-attachment rule*

Obi-Wan: “Not again.”

Feeling a bit insane for taking on this merch project while trying to sruvive work, finish a fic, and continue working on another fic. Have I ever done merch before? ABSOLUTELY NOT. Have I been doing research here and there on vendors and their processes? Absolutely.

The idea is to turn all of them into stickers. Depending on how they turn out, I plan to move forward with the following:

turn the Clan of Three into an acrylic standee with Tatooine and Ossus base options

turn the keldabe kiss and Clan of Two into acrylic charms (test epoxy and holographic options?)

turn the grogu and frog eggs into an acrylic shaker charm

"Live Cheen Reaction" is too niche to do more than make a few stickers for shits & giggles

Still need to order test prints but I hate the "convert to CYMK" step and have been procrastinating. Anyway, that is the progress report on the merch front. Sure is an interesting endeavor.

makeup stores on coruscant have to be the size of an american outlet mall or something. the amount of species it has to offer product to is like. just the tip of the iceberg. beyond that it has to offer every sort of product every species needs ('skin' (or similar) care, 'hair' (or whatever) products, shadows and mascaras, perfumes, etc), it also has to have a variety within the products (like how humans need stuff for oily skin, stuff for dry skin, stuff for 'average skin') AND a variety of shades and tones within each variety (red foundations and pink foundations and mauve concealers and chartruese correctors). NOT TO MENTION ALL OF THE BRANDS.

you think a trip to your local makeup store takes forever? imagine going with your twi'lek, togruta, mikkian, etc girlfriends. you all need SUCH different products. it'd be a fucking DAY TRIP just to get EYESHADOW AND FOUNDATION.

#girl i dont even think about makeup that much. but this isnt even just makeup. #this logic can be applied to anything--not just aesthetic stuff #it's like how the medical complex. the foremost one on coruscant. is the size of a fucking CITY. #because every species needs specialists for every single issue!! #there's SO MuCH to cater to! #clothes too! there's different sleeve holes for every body. different sizes for every single shape. different brands for every one of those #clothing stores have to be just as big! #shopping on coruscant must be HELL. #or anywhere really but since coruscant is the Big One... the one RAMPANT with capitalism... #yeah. #coruscant #star wars

I went into GK tumblr before I finished GK and saw Ogata in a hockey uniform and I was like “Oh is there a major time skip near the end? That’s cool!” Yk like demon slayer or smth and when I got to the end I was so confused like “where tf was the fucked up man in a hockey uniform I want to see everyone’s reincarnations”

Then I found out that Noda is winning the idgaf war by reusing the designs of war criminals and making them into teenage boys playing hockey, but I still got my wish of seeing (mostly) everyone’s reincarnations (so far)

#golden kamuy #golden kamuy spoilers #dogsred #ogata hyakunosuke #tsunemaru youta #in the end who rlly won huh #it’s still noda #won’t it be crazy if youta goes still one day during practice and everyone’s like “bro what’s wrong #or they’re like sleeping in a hotel or smth for a comp #and he turns to them like “I remembered shooting someone in my past life or smth like that #i don’t think that’s Noda’s brand of insanity tho so probs not #oh or he’s like “do you guys remember the war
