The overall campaign goal was to drive Star Wars fans to the app to engage with the new content, ultimately driving sign-ups.

The concept combines the two worlds of Headspace and Star wars by depicting Chewbacca in a stressful situation, and reaching for Headspace to find relaxation.

Story: We transition from the Find Your Force lockup to inside the Millennium Falcon to find Chewbacca sitting in the cockpit, flying through space. As the super “DARK SIDE” appears, buttons on the dashboard start turning red as the ship goes into hyperspeed, Chewie begins to roar in frustration. Chewie slams his fist on an orange button. “DEEP BREATH”… Chewie takes a deep breath in, Hyperspeed begins to slow, and the buttons begin to return to blues and whites. “LIGHT SIDE”… Chewie exhales as he appears calm and begins to smile. Everything is back to normal, as we transition to the Headspace logo end card.
