Second ad for the new beetle. Interesting but not as cool as the Star Wars above

Both are good. I cannot believe how bland that Jetta is inside and out. You could debut this commercial in 1989 or 1999 and the car wouldn't look out of place.

I'm not surprised you would notice a Darth Vader ad, Dave. I remember that you once (and possibly twice) used Vader as your CL avitar.
