Volkswagen Darth Vader Super Bowl Commercial

This is another commercial that was just too cute to pass up. Is it destined to be the top 2011 Super Bowl commercial? Maybe not but the 30-second spot featuring Volkswagen and little Darth Vader is definitely a crowd-pleaser.

The mini Vader travels from room to room trying to force his “powers” without success, until he ventures outside and is finally able to start up his father’s Volkswagen. Funny!

"It wasn't until halfway through filming that we found out it was a Super Bowl commercial. We were just thrilled," she says. "We just thought it was his first national commercial. I was like, 'whoa, this is out of this world.'

Page -- who has also appeared in spots for Walgreens and Clear Channel -- admits he's never seen Star Wars, but looked up a photo of Darth Vader online. He also acts on The Young and the Restless.

"I can't even keep up with the messages and the calls," says Jennifer. "It's just overwhelming. The first night, [online views] were at 60,000. I went to bed and the next morning it was at 1 million. My mind couldn't comprehend!"

Page also reveals he was born with a congenital heart defect, but is doing well after having a pacemaker put in when he was three months old.
