TGIF Feature: A Star Wars experience for all

SCREEN CAPTURE / YOUTUBE
The two boys featured in the "A Star Wars Experience for All" promo.

This promo for Star Wars was produced in the Philippines but -- wonderfully -- you don't need to understand Tagalog to get the gist of what's going on.

It's Christmas time in the Philippines. In the background you can detect some Christmas music and decorations. The Philippines has the longest Christmas observance in the world. It begins  in September and lasts until January.

Two cute boys are constructing something. We don't know what it is at first. As they rummage around their neighborhood for items, what they're putting together slowly starts to take shape. It's a special seat. It's a plane; a jet. Then it becomes clear, it's a rocket ship.


They are building it for a friend who is introduced two-thirds the way through the two-minute-plus commercial. Their contraption allows her to physically experience a Star Wars movie. 

We don't know until the end why they went to all this trouble and I won't spoil it for you. You have to watch it for yourself. It's OK if you say, "Awww!"

Star Wars: #TheRiseOfSkywalker is due to be released in theaters December 20.
