Now that Disney owns the franchise, Star Wars merchandise is in every… well I guess it’s always been heavily merchandised. Two major skateboard brands in one year though, that’s highly saturated. Now you can put on a pair of Star Wars themed Vans while riding your Star Wars themed skateboard. They made a video commercial to promote it, I don’t know if it’s airing anywhere besides the interwebs, but the best part is all the cameos. In fact, lets list them in the comments, shall we? Just leave the running time and the personality in the comments, one lucky skate-archaeologist will win a free Star Wars themed Skate and Annoy T-shirt, which is to say a regular Skate and Annoy t-shirt that my dog slept on, leaving the impression that a Wookie wore it. Ok, that last bit can be optional. I’ll send you a clean one if you want. You can enter as many times as you want, one cameo per time code, and no repeats please. If somebody is called out already then that person won’t be counted again. The commercial is well enough done, although they probably should have been set in in 1977 or 78 instead of 1980 to be more historically accurate.
UPDATE: I’ll take historical inaccuracies as well as cameos for entry into the t-shirt drawing.

At 7 seconds in it says “1980” and a guy is hitting his tail on the ground giving Holmes props. Um, nobody did that back then.

Historical inaccuracy: Chewbacca lived a long time ago in a galaxy far, far away and presumably wouldn’t be alive to attend this contest.
And of course the board the wookie is riding is way too nose-heavy and concaved for a 1980 setup.

Music should be Devo, and everyone should have major pad rot

Great video. I really enjoyed it. Good stuff.

Okay, so Hosoi doesn’t look gross in the real world today, just age appropriate, but put him in that context, and it looks frighteningly like how young woman may see us (or at least how their arrested-development mothers see us?).

WINNER!

So for being 1980 and probably the height of the half-shirt era, I only saw one… Grosso at :05, :25, and :59
