Star Wars fans are busy speculating about the first trailer for The Acolyte – and they have a theory about one character in particular.
The Star Wars beer meme has left a galaxy far, far away and has found itself in Helldivers 2, Diablo 4, Yakuza, and more

The Star Wars beer meme based on a real-life advertising campaign has made its way into Helldivers 2, Diablo 4, Yakuza, and more.
If you've been online at all over the last week, you're sure to have come across the resurfaced Star Wars beer adverts that basically rewrote some of the original trilogy back in the early 2000s. The story is that when the original Star Wars trilogy was first aired on TV in Chile back in 2003, broadcasters wanted to avoid cutting to commercial breaks, so instead, they weaved the advertisements into the films themselves.
This means that certain scenes of Star Wars Episodes 1 - 3, as well as other classic films, were slightly altered to feature an appearance from the beer brand Cerveza Cristal. This must have been so jarring for people watching Star Wars for the first time, who must have wondered why Obi-Wan Kenobi was searching for a beverage for Luke instead of his father's lightsaber. It's a hilarious advertising technique and has since become an even funnier meme.
It didn't take long for Cerveza Cristal to start (unofficially) popping up in other films, TV shows, and games. Just a few days after the original post was made, I've seen the meme appear in games like Assassin's Creed, Doom, Metal Gear Solid, and more. Fans have made some of these posts, whereas others have been made by the studios that developed the games. You can see our favorites below.
