Verizon uses characters from the upcoming film, "Star Wars: Episode VII - The Force Awakens," to illustrate its 4G network. Chewbacca and BB-8 hide in a small inlet to keep out of sight of Stormtroopers. The wookiee is standing at the ready with a blaster while his little droid companion downloads data from the ship's main computer. However, the download speed slows to a crawl after only a short period of time, much like how phone companies slow down data speeds after only a gigabyte of usage. The delay causes the Stormtroopers to notice the rebels' presence, and Chewbacca is forced to engage in a firefight with the Imperial troops.
