The interactive “canstallation” structure will feature characters from Star
Wars: The Last Jedi
made entirely out of the new Limited-Edition
Campbell’s Star Wars soup cans, against the backdrop of an LED
screen playing the trailer for the new film, due out on December 15. The
structure will be displayed on a truck stationed on 10th
Avenue at 37th Street. Comic-Con attendees and locals are
invited to stop by on October 5, 6 or 7, between the hours of 10 a.m.
and 6 p.m.

“We are excited to continue to work with Disney and Lucasfilm for the
third year to bring fans a new set of Limited-Edition Star Wars licensed
soups to celebrate the latest film in the saga,” said Yin Woon Rani,
Vice President, Chief Consumer Experience Officer. “We’re especially
thrilled to support this collaboration by bringing back our popular
canstallation display for film fans and Comic-Con attendees – may the
Force be with you!”

The new labels of Campbell’s Limited-Edition Star Wars
soups feature characters from Star Wars: The Last Jedi on a
metalized paper label, and includes Rey, Finn, BB-8, Captain Phasma and
the Praetorian Guard. Inside the can, the special Healthy Kid Fun Shaped
Pasta with Chicken Soup includes intricate, die-cut Star Wars
pasta shapes, with no added MSG, artificial flavors or artificial
colors. The cans are available now in grocery stores nationwide.

In addition, Campbell will debut a new commercial in its “Made for Real,
Real Life” campaign to support the Star Wars cans. The campaign,
which debuted in 2015, previously featured a talked-about Star Wars
themed commercial of two dads feeding their son a warm bowl of soup
while reciting the memorable “I am your father” line from the 1980 film, Star
Wars: The Empire Strikes Back
