UPDATE! Full Verizon Commercial With BB-8, Chewbacca and First Order Stormtroopers in HD!
It’s just a commercial, but the footage looks so awesome, that it almost feels like it’s a clip from The Force Awakens. Check it out…
UPDATE!
Here’s the full version of the commercial with several new scenes in HD!
Thanks to @tomspencervfx for the heads up.

That definitely looks like its from the film.
It’s not from the movie.
Are you sure? It certainly looks like an expensive ad if its not.
Considering the amount of my Verizon bill each month, I think they can afford to make an expensive commercial.
Too true, lol.
Got that right—–280 a month.
I pay less for 75/75 fibre and Child support in a month. What do you get for 280? Is that in Taiwan Dollars or something?
No, US dollars, but then again it is for four lines.
Yes.
Look at his Avatar, he’s Palpatine’s personal guard… he won’t give away anything…
It dont look like this, so I doubt its from the new movie
It makes no sense if that’s from the movie… it doesn’t relate to any scene we know.
Maybe around the time Chewie sets off the detonator in one of the recent TV spots?
you’ve seen the movie already? awesome 🙂
No need to be sarcastic, my friend. I’m just stating that if that’s a scene from the movie, there is a huge hole in the leaked information we’ve been feed all these months.
Ok, I read your comment wrong, I thought it said scenes from the trailers. But still, come on…some people make it out as if they know the entire plot of the movie already…
From the BB-8 standalone movie.
BB-8: A Star Wars Story (2020)
A love story. Droid meets toolbox.
I’m pretty sure that this footage is from WARCRAFT.
But there’s no CGI overdose.
Cool !
Love it…havent seen Chewie shoot his crossbow since ANH have we?
I think he did in Jedi but mostly hes always used stolen storm rifles…need to confirm that though…
He shot it at the probe droid in ESB.
No, that was Han. Chewie used his crossbow trying to hit a mynock in ESB and to stop a biker scout in ROJ.
Somebody should put that scene into a super cut trailer just to mess with people. It looks awesome.
I love how much effort was put into this commercial, well all the Star Wars commercials. It’s great.
so cool that JJ allowed for some Mexican crews to have night shoots on the Force Awakens sets
This is just before Plagueis screams past on a segway.
LOL
Soon to be re-branded PlagueWay™
Looks like we need some humor …. Hopefully we will… good stuff….
I just love Chewie be like… WTF? CMON!? lol I hope thats a part in the film lol
Did I hear a Wilhelm scream?
LMAO Love it!

With commercials like this with this kind of quality commercials will now be much better well the ones for star wars.
If this movie is half as good and creative as this and the Duracell commercial then boy we are in for a treat
it’s nice to see stormtroopers still can’t shoot for shit:)
Worst shots since COBRA’s troops on “G.I. Joe”!
Why are you 100% sure this is not from the movie? It has any element within the scene that makes it specific for the verizon commecial (as it happens with duracell, battlefront, etc)
Don’t listen to them. It is in the movie. Han, Finn, and Rey are stuck in a trash compactor, the walls are closing in, they’re about to get crushed. BB-8 and Chewie have to stop this from happening so their buddies can join them in the sequel.
Well, There IS a trench on Starkiller Base and X-Wings and TIE’s are fighting over it so…..
I don’t know why all this irony. It’s clear that the script won’t be a carbon copy of A New Hope, yet you have a droid in a desert, with an important mission, a Skywalker who finds it in that same desert. A new Death Star… Having Chewie and a droid operating at Starkiller is perfectly possible.
I was just having some fun. But seriously, during the assault of Starkiller Base, BB-8 is with Poe in his X-Wing, we see this in the trailers.
Ah, that’s right Kenny!! I haven’t read the whole plotline as it has appeared sometime ago, but for the trailers, that’s right 😉 This commercial looks so cool… I didn’t like Chewie in Revenge of the Sith, looked so unexpressive. This shot with him looking behind the wall is just awesome.
Yeah they did a really good job on that commercial. Easy to see how we think it could be in the movie.
star wars: the ultimate marketing machine.
That Stormtrooper got back up after he was shot! That’s a first!
new armour
He just needed “a little shot in the arm” 😉
Chewie is a hoot!
Damn, Chewie looks younger instead of older. What the hell?
He switched shampoo
The Curious Case of Chewbacca Button…
Chewbutton
Maybe it’s Mabeline?
Better day/night cream, new shampoo and/or conditioner, new hair dresser, dyed his hair? Who knows 😉 But also 30 human years are only ~5-6 Wookie years.
Well, he probably is able to shower and sit down to relax and not be running from Imperial agents and bounty hunters 24/7.
Is this confirmed to be a set from TFA though? Because this looks super OT. And the new stuff looks like this.
Familiar, but different.
Bear in mind that ^^ actually looks 50% like the prison bay, so it’s probable that there are more generic hallways elsewhere on Kylo’s ship.

That said, this commercial is clearly by a different director, looks and feels like a commercial, that and the lighting is very OT, so I think it’s a stock set. But still, the TFA photo I think is the Prison Bay, or somewhere close to it.
Well if you look at the one photo of General Hux you can see that that is just how the whole structure looks. Whether its Starkiller Base or a Star Destroyer. Someone suggested that the commercial was probably shot on a Rogue One set which makes more sense.
I concur, the console booth and the Star Destroyer windows have design elements that are cleary ESB and ROJ style. But frankly, for Rogue One I would (still) hope for design elements and style closer to ANH (i.e. more little light domes and less light slots).
Rogue One is shooting right now. I wouldn’t be surprised if they just brought some FO stormtroopers on set to shoot this cute little TV spot.
That’s a really good point. I really dig the look of the new structure, idk if its a Star Destroyer or Starkiller base. I would assume it’s a Star Destroyer but idk. Its consistent with what we’ve seen so far since it is very familiar but also updated and a bit sleeker.
I’d assume the same judging by the Star Destroyer windows on the right near the end of the commercial, but – now – since these are also featured as standard windows (facepalm) of the Imperial facility on the moon of Endor in Star Wars Battlefront and in Rebels on Lothal, it could mean anything.
SHH.
This looks more like something out of KOTOR to me which they probably used as reference.
That was cute
also love how the trooper on right side rise back after getting hit ( wilheim cry ). Finally those armors do something right!yes a blaster hits your hard, but one shot should not be enough!
No, you guys got this all wrong. JJ has a new Christmas special. I can feel it. This’ll be part of it…
What the fuck is up with the Chewie costume. Every shot and photo looks really weird. He looks wrong. Almost like he’s CG.
It’s in your head, dude. He looks fine to me.
Some people subconsciously want something to be wrong.
They should have aged him just a tiny bit. A gray hair here or there. Yeah, Wookiee’s live for centuries but Chewie’s been through a lot and he looks younger now for some reason.
Chewbacca has supreme control of the Force… he has overcome aging…
A Wookiee Jedi is a great idea if Luke really wound up rebuilding the Jedi.
Luke married a Wookiee and they have a son called Lookiee!
I want to see this happen more than anything else now in the film.
Luke’s baby Wookie grows up to become Snoke…
Snookie who gets all the nookiee?
He uses “Just For Wookies” fur coloring to manage the gray.
We need a Chewbacca mid-life crisis story spin-off. It’s clearly what the fans want.
…CG. With lip gloss!!
Can we get rid of the unenthusiastic school-marm voiceover lady, please… Sigh. C’mon, marketing machine.. you can get someone who sounds more interested in the subject matter than this
She sounds really familiar.
Sounds a tad like Julia Roberts.
I can see that or hear it rather. At least the current older one.
Just a commercial so I guess you can’t really read much into this but I hope the inside of Starkiller base doesn’t look EXACTLY like the inside of the Death Star. We have more than enough OT references in this thing already.
The original power of the force was merchandising the sh*t out of it… now that power is failing the “associated advertising” Wookie has stepped into the room… We must recoup our investment!
Worked for Episode III!
Aarrgh! I feared you’d say that… I’m overwhelmed by the desire to release the contents of my stomach…
Better him than Han Solo like originally they had planned.
And all because the Wookie hasn’t aged a day…
I liked the concept art of him with a mechanical arm but probably too close to Luke. An artificial leg would have been a novel idea though. Never seen those in Star Wars yet.
Cough cough… you’re pulling my chain now, aren’t you?
Never! I think site posted them years ago.
Umm, artificial leg? I thought Anakin rocked at least two of those?
Good eyes! But you only saw them seconds before they were given coverings.
So Chewbacca could actually be more machine now than Wookie?
A cross between The Six Million Dollar Man and his mortal enemy of Bigfoot who can dunk like Teen Wolf now!
Teen Wolf! There IS a Luke/Wookie precedence after all…
I can totally see him doing back flips on top of the Falcon as Han flies it.
I think this is an old set because it doesn’t match what we saw in the BTS video
I like the Rogue One explanation seeing as how that is going to be shot next and it’s only reasonable that they’d need a few Death Star sets.
That’s what I’m thinking
it would be cool if they try to get the 70’s cinematography right to tie in with ANH but I’m pretty sure that Gil Taylor is now dead.
That would be cool but since its Edwards I think theu are shooting this one on digitial so it will probably have the asthetic of Godzilla
I guess we will be able to know for sure when the first real trailer is out which should be in the summer.
I think it will be with TFA
Maybe another teaser but I don’t think they shot enough to do an actual trailer. I mean it’s out in a month or so and there have been few updates on here as if lare about it.
This set is the Star Destroyer, right? The set in the commercial is StarKiller base.
Idk! This looks like a Death Star set so I think it’s from Rogue One. I doubt the new Star Destroyer looks all sleek and modern and then the interior of Starkiller Base looks exactly like the Death Star
Wow!!! I like when the mouse droid alerts the troopers to their presence and Chewie’s like…..damm.
I wonder if that’s Peter Mayhew?
Not when he ran round the corner
I don’t think too highly of Verizon (due to past brushes with their mess-ups) but this Star Wars ad’s a hoot.
Although Chewie is standing on the wrong side of the doorway for cover (IMHO) this is such a great scene, that I’m somewhat sad we are not going to see this now in any upcoming film.
Of course there were some other good ads featuring Star Wars Characters over the years.

Wow! Star Wars forever!
yep, pretty sure this was shot on the rogue oneset, there is now way they shot a 45 sec commercial more then a year ago during principal photography of Force Awakens
Chewie is a damn fine shot!
