When the Star Wars movies first aired on Chilean TV in the early 2000s. Their contract with Lucasarts stated they couldn't show advertisements during the film. To get around this, they filmed fake parts of the movie which are hilarious and jarring.

It was only Jedi and Sith picking up the beer. Maybe alcohol is what fuels Force Energy

The funniest part was that George Lucas sued Chile for doing this.

As he should have. It's funny as fuck, but a pretty blatant breach of contract and ruins the movies.

I remember another topic shared that first clip, but these are hilarious. Yeah, it ruins the immersion, but it would have been funny as hell to just be watching the movie, not knowing when someone was going to grab another Cerveza Cristal lol

It's funny because American TV is generally the opposite; advertisements are all well and good with blatant product placement being more discouraged.

Dude, now you got me thinking.
What if some folks there who saw Star Wars for the first time, saw it during that broadcast?
Would be trippy if then those people turned around and saw the unaltered version and would be wondering what happened to all the beer.

The lack of railings on the Death Star becomes funnier if Obi Wan is completely smashed

I didn't read this right and I thought you said Chili's.

Like Mando just stops, stares down some Imperial, and says "I want my baby back baby back baby back baby back "

Maybe it was different back then, however the setting also matters. It's one thing for a character to be walking in the city and see a Taco Bell, another for a Taco Bell to randomly show up on Tatooine or the Death Star cafeteria.

Poor Obi-Wan. He had to become a drunk to live with the horrors of the Clone Wars/rise of the Empire.
Many Bothans died to bring you this post.

Reminds me of the Chinese version of Iron Man 3 that unexpectedly has a Chinese doctor peddling a milk drink.

Dang that was smooth.

So in Chile they just showed the movie as is? They didn't try to dub it like most other countries?

It was in Spanish in Chile, the video was edited to have the English scene though...to enhance the meme.
