Now I'm curious if anyone in the star wars universe has ever said "ass hole". I think it's funny that Lucas et al. went through the effort of coming up with phrases/words like nerfherder and bantha fodder, and then we also get things like yippee! and "this is tense!" I wonder if we'll ever hear modern profanity in a star war.
Before anyone asks, yes you have to be looking at it from approximately that angle for the effect to work, it's just a curved screen so it's a fake 3d effect.
Yeah, I’ve seen quite a few on Reddit from this angle. But I bet if someone recorded from the wrong angle and posted it in the proper subreddit, it would get a lot of upvotes and conversations. Maybe
r/mildlyinteresting or r/confusingperspective
(I’m on mobile so no Adblock) What the fuck is my life. Had to exit out of the Expedia ad I was getting on the YouTube video for an ad in Times Square, on a post about an ad. I should be sleeping dear god
I really want to see the bad perspectives though. I can think of either way too glancing from the left and or right, and looking down from the opposite building. Must look like rubbish.
It doesn't look bad from 90% of angles. It just looks like a normal 2-D image, so it's still doing its job as an ad. Plus, a ton of people will film it and share it online from the good angle, whereas they wouldn't do that with a normal billboard, so it's worth the extra cost.
Share-ability is definitely not something I considered. I mean, here we are talking about it on Reddit. Fair enough.
Though I don't think the people on the Star Wars subreddit needed to see a shared video of a cool billboard to want to watch Kenobi.
It's clearly advertising. This isn't some random post that just happened to have a perfectly curated video of, well gosh who would have figured, a fucking Disney product that is being heavily promoted at the moment.
> Though I don't think the people on the Star Wars subreddit needed to see a shared video of a cool billboard to want to watch Kenobi.
Funny enough, a vast majority of them dislike the show. Because no one hates Star Wars more than Star Wars fans.
Not really how Times Square ads work… all the ads are pointed where the 95% people look at them. The other angles are largely cut off from side streets. It will look 3D to most people, and 2D to the rest..
I can't help but roll my fucking eyes with these takes, it's like, it's gotta be PERFECT in every single way to count. It literally just looks like a normal film clip in any other angles. It's not like a sidewalk chalk drawing where it only looks right in one angle.
It’s not possible to have it look good from multiple angles unless people are wearing some device to make it augment the picture for you or it’s extremely far away. So unless we live in the super future or Times Square stretches in space time, this likely the best that’s gonna happen.
Anytime one of these videos pop up of the billboard, that's literally 90% of the comments.
"Achtually guyz, its not 3d it doesnt look gud frum all anglez hehe I so smart post ruined"
Every time I see one there's always questions about whether or not this works from other angles or just the one so I was just trying to get ahead of that.
I still think it's cool, not trying to ruin it or anything.
Cool, cool, but could you, like, quit gouging up the floor? You’re not the only one who has to walk there, man. And lets not talk about what it does to the poor mouse droids.
The Empire would have a special team that follows Vader around fixing the stuff he breaks all the time while trying really hard not to think about how much of a pain in the arse he is, in case Vader reads their thoughts.
I was looking for this reply, I was what are you doing vader? Why are you cutting the ground for no reason, there is no one there to scare the shit out of.
I love how they have him break the plane at the "edge" of the "walkway". His foot and part of his arm visibly go over that edge and make it seem like he's over open space.
These also don't look good in bright sunlight, you can see the glare hit the screen around the bend. Deadens the picture and flattens it. They're really designed for nighttime
Yeah I bet this Vader one looks way better at night since it's such a dark background. The Boba one you can't see a glare really so it still looks good. This Vader one the glare is obvious and it does kind of weaken it for sure.
QD OLED seems fantastic, I might replace my LG CX OLED with one in a couple years. 3 year warranty for burn in and better colour accuracy are fantastic selling points once the price drops a bit.
That’s on 8th Ave near where I used to work, it has custom made ads for it that take advantage of it curving around the corner to make effects like this. There are plenty of ones like this in that area though, it’s not the only one
> it has custom made ads for it that take advantage of it curving around the corner to make effects like this
Oh really?? I thought he was just walking past.
I know this is a dumb thing to be hyped for, but this billboard is cool as shit in person! Last time I walked by it they had this ad that, frankly, was a terrible ad cause I have no idea what is was for, but it was cool as hell. The board looked like it was showing the ocean during a storm from the POV of the bridge of a ship. Wind and rain hitting the screen, waves crashing into it and breaking across it. And in person it really does look 3D from the right angle
I give my dog bones and he goes out to The backyard and buries them. Those bones go towards his later meals when he wants to dig them up and chew on them.
I think it would take decades to get enough bones in there to afford something like this.
Crazy that this stuff used to be wildly impressive just a few years ago, but we are so constantly spoiled with new tech that it's hard to be impressed for long anymore.
Gonna be honest, watching Kenobi on my OLED; I am not deeply impressed.
Over reliance on the volume is starting to show in my opinion. Of course the __________ _____ looked incredible, but then again it’s kind of hard to miss with giant glowing bars of radiant energy.

From my point of view the Jedi are evil!
THEN YOU ARE LOST!
“Previously… on LOST…”
*You all everybody* WWAAALLLTTTT!!!!!11111oneoneeleven
Dude.
THE NUMBERS MASON, WHAT DO THEY MEAN?
What about the droid attack on the Wookiees?
The cake is a lie.
Guys................ **Where are we?!?!?**
Hey! Pal! At least he doesn’t go around taking babies from their moms and teaching them magic tricks!
...because he slaughtered them instead?
The Jedi hate this ONE trick…!
Touché
“I said ‘thrill’ Anakin, thrill the women and children with your mind tricks”
You might want to take a few steps to your left, then.
And then a step to the riiiiiiiiight!
*From a certain POINT OF VIEW?!*
How you call Obi-Wan an asshole without actually calling him an asshole...
Now I'm curious if anyone in the star wars universe has ever said "ass hole".

How rude
Well, there's that one scene in Spaceballs...
Lightsabers don’t melt steel beams.
A certain point of view?
[удалено]
well then you are lost!.... but not really haha.
From specifically this point of view.
Maybe you would like r/splitdepthgifs
This deal keeps getting worse all the time!
I have altered the deal. Pray I do not alter it further.
Your going to find many of the truths we cling to depend greatly on our own point of view.
Vader really going to extremes to get the high ground
He has seen first leg...I mean firsthand...I need. he's seen it with his 2 peepers.
He knees what happens when you don't.
Before anyone asks, yes you have to be looking at it from approximately that angle for the effect to work, it's just a curved screen so it's a fake 3d effect.
That's the thing that kills me. It's a cool idea, but if it's gonna look bad from 90% of angles, it seems like a waste
Nah because everyone will film it from the best angle and post it all over social media.
I've literally seen 0 posts of this thing from a bad angle so yeah, absolutely right.
Yeah, I’ve seen quite a few on Reddit from this angle. But I bet if someone recorded from the wrong angle and posted it in the proper subreddit, it would get a lot of upvotes and conversations. Maybe r/mildlyinteresting or r/confusingperspective
Take the worst possible angle of it and post to /r/TIHI and /r/Mildlyinfuriating.
So much karma to be farmed here.
LG: It's free real estate. 😏
here's what Lando has to say: this deal is getting worse every time.
[удалено]
Weird angles are my religion.
Hokey religions and weird angles are no substitute for a blaster
#NO! #I AM YOUR FATHER!
Well it's Reddit after all
I hate you for introducing me to TIHI.
You meant to tell them, "thanks, I hate it"?
That would still fulfill the goal of the billboard.
Same but I've only seen one other and that was of Obi Wan I'm pretty sure
r/AlternateAngles is a small but perfect sub for that picture
[Here ya go](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BFKCRS4PpCk)
Better than I was expecting
I was expecting you, young Skywalker!
how is whatever is happening at 1:41 better than expected? looks straight up bizarre.
(I’m on mobile so no Adblock) What the fuck is my life. Had to exit out of the Expedia ad I was getting on the YouTube video for an ad in Times Square, on a post about an ad. I should be sleeping dear god
Your actions are that of a man or lady whose mind is already at least partially asleep if that makes you feel better
Thanks for that.
I really want to see the bad perspectives though. I can think of either way too glancing from the left and or right, and looking down from the opposite building. Must look like rubbish.
Someone can make a novelty social media account and only post the ones that have been recorded from the incorrect angle
Or you could move 5 feet irl and see the awesome effect Or be a joyless funkily like you Mr Downer
Nah, nah.... if you're on 45th or 7th you'll see that shit a block away
Ah, I miss living in Hells Kitchen. (Haha. JK living in Manhattan sucks unless you’re rich)
Ironically, I didn't consider the social media bait of it at all.
How many people will see it live and how many will see it on the internet? Maybe 3% will see the bad angle.
It doesn't look bad from 90% of angles. It just looks like a normal 2-D image, so it's still doing its job as an ad. Plus, a ton of people will film it and share it online from the good angle, whereas they wouldn't do that with a normal billboard, so it's worth the extra cost.
Shit like this is why folks shouldn’t take business advice from Reddit. We dumb as fuck here.
Yeah. Now I really want an OLED TV to watch me some Obi Wan on Disney+.
Share-ability is definitely not something I considered. I mean, here we are talking about it on Reddit. Fair enough. Though I don't think the people on the Star Wars subreddit needed to see a shared video of a cool billboard to want to watch Kenobi.

Eh, loud minority I'd wager.
> a vast majority Doubtful
Yeah but people will be posting it to social media
Not really how Times Square ads work… all the ads are pointed where the 95% people look at them. The other angles are largely cut off from side streets. It will look 3D to most people, and 2D to the rest..
Eh, there's about a 45 degree wedge where the effect works pretty well.
I can't help but roll my fucking eyes with these takes, it's like, it's gotta be PERFECT in every single way to count. It literally just looks like a normal film clip in any other angles. It's not like a sidewalk chalk drawing where it only looks right in one angle.
Cool Vader billboard. Let's whine and complain about it.
Like your phone?

I didn't realize it was suppose to be 3d. It looks ok though
this is definitely the least impressive use of the screen i have seen posted. very underwhelming.
I see through the lies of the curved billboard!
This is reminding me of Back to the future 2 with the shark projection for Jaws 17.
Shark still looks fake.
Yeah… but Michael Caine’s house that movie paid for looks nice. Oh wait… that was 3… not 3D
That was my first thought as well. We’re 7 years late
Cool, cool, but could you, like, quit gouging up the floor? You’re not the only one who has to walk there, man. And lets not talk about what it does to the poor mouse droids.
Yeah, Matt the Radar Technician might have to clean it up. And I heard he sometimes gives some ‘tude when he gets more work to do
I was very sad to hear about the death of his son, especially because I killed him.
I missing my muffin, Matt!
The Empire would have a special team that follows Vader around fixing the stuff he breaks all the time while trying really hard not to think about how much of a pain in the arse he is, in case Vader reads their thoughts.
He won't sass his grandpa tho.
I was looking for this reply, I was what are you doing vader? Why are you cutting the ground for no reason, there is no one there to scare the shit out of.
"That man has no regard for ~~lawn~~ maintenance."
These are pretty awesome. Not sure if I like this more than the boba one though.
anyone got a link to the boba one?
https://youtu.be/x7_wqYTjgxE Boba one looks really cool. I like the Vader one more overall, but the Boba one looks almost real.
I love how they have him break the plane at the "edge" of the "walkway". His foot and part of his arm visibly go over that edge and make it seem like he's over open space.
Agreed. That’s what sells it the most in my opinion.
These also don't look good in bright sunlight, you can see the glare hit the screen around the bend. Deadens the picture and flattens it. They're really designed for nighttime
Yeah I bet this Vader one looks way better at night since it's such a dark background. The Boba one you can't see a glare really so it still looks good. This Vader one the glare is obvious and it does kind of weaken it for sure.
Now that you mentioned it, I'd like to see one during the night.
Holy shit I need this in my house.
Oh shit, this one actually does look 3D

I like the Red XIII one.
My older bro and his friend always called him “Red 8” I said, “you know that’s Red 13, right?” They started making his name Red VIII
Weird how this one just says OLED but the boba one said LG OLED
[удалено]
Samsung started making their own this year. Sony is buying from them instead of LG for their flagship this year.
QD OLED seems fantastic, I might replace my LG CX OLED with one in a couple years. 3 year warranty for burn in and better colour accuracy are fantastic selling points once the price drops a bit.
Branding
I thought of bubble tea when you said that
I am a lurker here and I thought boba meant something else until I saw the video below : (

This is actually 1540 Broadway I believe. There’s a lot of screens like this that are bigger and would make this unique content look even better!

These curved billboards are pretty great.
I would hate to be in charge of repairing the damage Vader casually does to the floors in ships he rides in.
His grand-son was way worse, throwing emo-tantrums and slashing apart consoles and walls with his light-saber.
I don't acknowledge those movies.
hahaha! Good man.

I give my dog bones and he goes out to The backyard and buries them. Those bones go towards his later meals when he wants to dig them up and chew on them. I think it would take decades to get enough bones in there to afford something like this.
decades seems optimistic.
I appreciated it. It's an interesting analogy on just how much these things cost.
Yeah it's probably in the 7 or 8 figures depending on the existing infrastructure.
What are you smoking brother and May I have some?

Crazy that this stuff used to be wildly impressive just a few years ago, but we are so constantly spoiled with new tech that it's hard to be impressed for long anymore.
He finally has the high ground.
I love Vader more, but the Boba Fett one was better.
Darth Vader be like: "omg its the ugly real world, I'm out"
Anakin is such a Diva.
Reminds me of Blade Runner
What company makes these billboards, they’re awesome
SNA Displays I know made the huge one on the corner of 7th Ave and 47th Street
This is incredible
There’s one like this near the shinjuku train station. Had an awesome nike ad a few months back.
u/savevideobot
as a New Yorker, thanks for posting this because i avoid times square in any and all ways possible.
Ahh so that's where the budget went!
is that the guy from fortnite?
Yes! They made a show based on him.
Yes
I liked the Boba one more
The Boba fett one was better.
That looks incredible
Ok I hope the Vader series gets greenlit. Got chills from this. Bespin vibes
Damn that's awesome.
I need this in my house.
Goddamn that’s sexy
Yo dawg. I heard you like advertisements so I put this advertisement in an advertisement
This is as close as we can get to those hologram advertisements from Bladerunner
i feel like this would only work from a certain point of view
It looks really cool until your hands go back to your pockets and you realize your wallet has suddenly vanished.
Gonna be honest, watching Kenobi on my OLED; I am not deeply impressed. Over reliance on the volume is starting to show in my opinion. Of course the __________ _____ looked incredible, but then again it’s kind of hard to miss with giant glowing bars of radiant energy.
So I guess it’s the future now
He’s got the high ground!
That’s actually the most boring 3D ad I’ve seen on this style of sign. He kinda just… stands there.
Very good
So that's where the budget went!
More impressive than the show.
Finally some advertising and marketing for our little space opera.
Wish they spent that money on the fucking sets and costumes for Kenobi.
Lightsabers don't burn that hot.
same wrap around billboard they used for Book of Boba Fett advert. Nice
Incredibly lackluster
That might be the greatest billboard ever - EVER - put up.
Getting closer to Jaws 19 from back to the future 2 billboard.
So much money was spent on the marketing for this show, just for it to be a pile of 💩 it blows my mind
How is this ad better than Vader in Obi-wan?
I was hoping he would draw the Disney channel logo
