Coca-Cola, in collaboration with Lucasfilm, embarks on a dynamic new chapter in their 70-year alliance with the launch of 'Coca-Cola x Star Wars: Refresh Your Galaxy.' This limited-edition campaign celebrates the unifying spirit of fandom, storytelling, and shared cultural moments through a blend of collectible design and digital innovation.
At its core are 30 uniquely designed Coca-Cola cans and bottles, showcasing beloved heroes and infamous villains from across the Star Wars saga. Beginning in early July, 27 designs will be available worldwide, with three exclusive editions offered only at Disneyland Resort and Walt Disney World Resort.
The campaign also introduces an augmented reality hologram experience, allowing fans to scan products and share custom holographic messages in the style of Star Wars transmissions. Anchored by a cinematic creative spot set in a movie theater, the initiative captures the wonder of discovery, nostalgia, and the joy of collective imagination.
