Super Bowl's Mini Darth Vader Meets James Earl Jones at Driving Miss Daisy

In a crowded field of Super Bowl commercials, six-year-old Max Page became an instant media darling for his memorable “performance” as Darth Vader in an ad for Volkswagen’s 2012 Passat. (Outfitted in the familiar black costume, the pint-size performer uses the Force to start the car—with a little help from a remote control held by his father.) Page made the talk-show rounds in New York on February 7, ending his busy day with a trip to the Golden Theatre to meet the real Darth Vader, Driving Miss Daisy star James Earl Jones. The always gracious Mr. Jones posed with young Max (in and out of his villain’s mask), a dream come true for any Star Wars fan. In case you missed the witty ad, take a look below.
