The White House
Perhaps no other country in the world allows its elected rulers to plug blockbusters the way America does. In a brand association that must be the envy of marketing gurus the world over, The White House allows the robot, R2D2, and Stormtroopers, the villain Darth Vader’s enforcers, to invade a conference addressed by the Press Secretary Josh Earnest and gives President Barack Obama time off to attend a special screening of the movie for families who have lost members in the Iraq war. First Lady Michelle Obama does her bit by including a photo of the Stormtroopers invading the White House on her Instagram account.
R2-D2 makes an appearance too.
