Max Page as Tiny Vader at the VW Chattanooga inauguration - Click above for high-res image gallery
On Tuesday, May 24,
Volkswagen officially opened its plant in Chattanooga, Tennessee that is dedicated to building the
Passat. There were all sorts of potentates gathered for the occasion, from Department of Transportation Secretary
Ray LaHood to current and former mayors of the city. When it came time to press the big, red button to get the factory party started, though, six men gathered around the podium and they didn't make a move until a surprise guest waved his hands:
little Darth Vader.
Otherwise known as Max Page, he's the kid in costume who practically owned YouTube when he appeared in VW's 2012 Passat commercial during the Super Bowl. Arriving with an entourage of Stormtroopers and his theme music, he did a little of what he does, the red button was pushed, and it was only then that the Chattanooga facility officially opened.
It was a fun beginning. Let's hope the plant benefits from The Force and Vader's touch as much as that commercial did, and as much as VW and Chattanooga are praying it does. Read the official press release
after the break, and, more importantly, check out Tiny Vader in our high-res image gallery.
