51 Thirsty Brands Pretending to Love 'Star Wars'
Because you need to know from a tweet that companies like Domino's dig 'Star Wars,' too.

If you hadn’t noticed yet, today is Star Wars Day. It’s ostensibly for fans of the galaxy far, far away to band together and let it be known that they love watching the epic space soap opera formerly owned by George Lucas. Since it was first released in 1977, the series has become a worldwide phenomenon, so much so that corporations and brands want to try and get in on the Star Wars Day celebrations too. After all, corporations are people too.
So how does a faceless business empire try to portray that they’re with-it, and hip, and all about what the kids are into these days? Well, social media, that’s how! More and more brands are tweeting, instagramming, and throwing out increasingly ridiculous and tangentially related messages just to show that they know what Star Wars Day is. It undercuts the fan-focused spirit of the day, but it’s also hilarious to see how shameless these brands actually get. Here are our 50 favorites.
50. John Kasich has probably never seen Star Wars. His very next tweet was one about him suspending his campaign for president. Related?
