Apple Releases New Star Wars Commercial!

Sometimes, a Mandalorian could use a little help finding their clan. That’s the story told in a new commercial from Apple and Lucasfilm for the iPhone 15 “Precision Finding for Find My Friends” feature.

Directed by Kim Gehrig and debuting in time for Star Wars Day, the clever spot follows a Mandalorian costumer (played by real-life fan Owen Jardiniano) as he journeys to meet up with friends at a local con. He starts off the day feeding his cat, Leia, and checking for the essentials (“Keys, phone, thermal detonator”), before heading out. He picks up a boba tea (naturally), grabs the bus, and uses his iPhone 15 to chat with and find his Mandalorian clan.

Lucasfilm received over 300 submissions for the spot, with a total of 172 fans becoming involved with the production — the largest number ever for a project sanctioned by the company!
