ESPN's Admiral Ackbar-Inspired Commercial

Posted By Mike on September 8, 2010

From Starwars.com:

"A short time ago, in a land not so far away, The Ole Miss Rebels faced the tall task of selecting a new on-field mascot. A group of industrious and passionate students nominated and campaigned for Admiral Ackbar -- The decorated commander of the Rebel Alliance fleet from Star Wars: Episode VI Return of the Jedi. In the latest spot from ESPN's brand campaign, "It's not Crazy, It's Sports," ESPN takes a closer look at this unique true story of a school in search of a mascot."


Check out the 1-minute commercial below though a longer version can be found at the ESPN YouTube channel.
