South American Beer Ads Sneak into Star Wars

The Unexpected Star Wars Edit: Cerveza Cristal

The internet is abuzz with a peculiar yet entertaining phenomenon: South American beer advertisements, specifically for Cerveza Cristal, were secretly incorporated into Star Wars movies in the early 2000s. This has sparked a trend of integrating the beer's catchy jingle into other renowned films.

If you've been puzzled by the influx of Cerveza Cristal-themed jokes on your social media feed, here's the explanation you've been seeking.

The Viral Clip

Over the first weekend of March, a clip from a Chilean TV broadcast of the original Star Wars was shared on Twitter. This broadcast, dating back to around 2003, showcased the iconic scene where Obi-Wan Kenobi hands Luke Skywalker his father's lightsaber.

However, a humorous twist was introduced: instead of pulling out a lightsaber, Obi-Wan is shown retrieving a chilled beer from an ice-filled cooler, accompanied by a loud and proud jingle for Cerveza Cristal. Initially, many doubted its authenticity, but it's indeed real and has sparked a wave of online memes and jokes.

The Star Wars: Cerveza Cristal Edition

This isn't a new trend instigated by internet trolls or AI. These advertisements, ingeniously inserted right after certain scenes in the movies, have been documented before. In fact, Star Wars enthusiasts were discussing them as early as 2004. However, these beer ads, featuring Obi-Wan and The Emperor cracking open cold ones, weren't widely known until a few tweets in 2024 brought them into the limelight.

The Parodies

The parodies that have since emerged come in both video and image form, but they all share a common theme: a well-known scene from a film is interrupted by a character pulling out a cold Cerveza Cristal beer.

While the image-based parodies of the Cerveza Cristal meme are enjoyable, the videos are arguably more entertaining. The anticipation of when the beer will appear can make for a fun, little game.

The Aftermath

Interestingly, after the success of the Star Wars beer ads, the advertising agency collaborated with Cerveza Cristal and other companies to incorporate similar product placements into other movies, including Gladiator and American Beauty. Despite complaints from Lucasfilm, these ads won big at the Cannes International Advertising Festival in 2004.

So, after all this, is anyone else feeling a bit thirsty?
