Denny's: advert-body-1 by EP+Co
- Location:
As part of its collaboration with Lucasfilm and partnership with No Kid Hungry for the promotional campaign for Solo: A Star Wars Story, Denny’s has released its own national TV spot inspired by the film.
Set within the world of Solo: A Star Wars Story, the spot pays homage to the famous story of Han Solo winning the Millennium Falcon from Lando Calrissian by featuring two young adversaries, who imagine that they are squared off in a high-stakes card game as characters from the Star Wars universe, including Chewbacca, watch from around the booth.
Denny’s and EP+Co worked closely with Lucasfilm and Skywalker Sound and enlisted the help of acclaimed production designer Neil Lamont and Oscar-winning creature and Special Makeup Effects Supervisor Neal Scanlan — both of whom worked on Star Wars films Rogue One: A Star Wars Story and Star Wars: The Force Awakens — to create an authentic environment that Star Wars fans will love.
