Star Wars x Coca-Cola bottles

In a galaxy far, far away..

Two brands many of us grew up with have decided to join forces and craft a more immersive beverage experience for Disney's upcoming Star Wars land (Galaxy's edge) at Disneyland(LA) and Disneyworld(FL)

This collaboration began years ago, and we knew from the beginning that the attraction will feature mostly Aurebesh based symbols and language in Batuu planet setting. What that means is that all the beverages sold should look and feel like it's from that planet Batuu and detach from the real world as much as possible. That's why we designed these unique looking bottles and written in Aurebesh format.

Right before the public announcement, we realized we lacked a hero shot for all the public and social media outlets including the announcement trailer(within the Disney article below) So I took on the challenge and crafted a fitting hero shot in a day; it's nothing glamorous and it needs to be a front view shot to showcase the designs. I made a white and black versions but we ended up using the black for the announcement trailer. You may already have seen the video somewhere but I wanted to share some of the backstory here

Nice image, as usual, Benny. (the black was the clear choice) Great bottle designs. They did a good job making them look "in world". Sympathy for the guys who are going to have to wear those Stormtrooper uniforms in the Orlando heat.

Haha thanks. I didn't think it would be used for anything other than the product debut teaser at the Star Wars con since it was a last minute render but I guess they ran it on TV too.

Looks like those designs were a little too authentic.

HAHA, I'm not sure it was the same SYFY article, but I had just seen that this weekend too. On the other hand, your lightsaber is perfectly acceptable to bring onboard.
