DeathstarPR reaches 200k followers; creates web-series aimed as branded content
A parody Twitter account created by an Australian teacher and featuring the public relations team on the Death Star has hit more than 200,000 followers. The team behind Death Star PR has now branched out into video content and is seeking sponsors.
The account was created by Robbie Boland, a English and History teacher at high school who has no connection to the real PR world.
The series follows three colleagues, Wilson Wilson the III, Sharp and Green, working in the PR department of the Death Star, spinning catastrophes and carries the tagline, “Behind every great hero is a great PR team.”
So I wonder what Lucasfilm will have to say about this.
#Here comes LucasArts for a cut of your $.
Star Wars parody stuff is just so lame and passe and easy. It’s like those blokes who dress up as Stormtroopers and appear at every single event you go to in Sydney even though the events often have nothing to do with Star Wars in any way. Do they not have homes?
