To paraphrase Buster Bluth, “This is our award, Mother. From Emmy.”
We’re thrilled to report that the StarWars.com team won its first-ever Emmy this weekend for The Star Wars Show segment “Arrested Development: Star Wars with Ron Howard!” in the Outstanding Daytime Promotional Announcement – Topical category. The video, a mashup of Star Wars with the iconic opening credits of Arrested Development, was narrated by Solo: A Star Wars Story director Ron Howard and went viral upon release, amassing over 700,000 views on YouTube alone.
