The 15-second spot shows the young boys — who each speak a different language — seated on opposite sides of a table in a school cafeteria. After one unsuccessfully tries to bridge the language gap, he spots the other’s _Star Wars_ thermos and quickly figures out a different way to connect with his lunch mate. “Campbell’s new _Star Wars_ soups, made for real, real life,” the voiceover concludes. The commercial promotes the company’s limited-edition _Star Wars_ cans and is part of a bigger push from Campbell’s centered around the upcoming release of the franchise’s eighth installment, _The Last Jedi_,on December 15. This isn’t the first time Campbell’s has taken a _Star Wars_\-focused approach to its advertising. The viral 2015 ad [“Your Father”](http://time.com/4068363/campbells-soup-star-wars-gay-dads-father-ad/) featured two dads impersonating Darth Vader as they spoon-feed soup to their toddler son.
