JonTron's StarCade - Official Trailer

Five days before the StarCade series premiered, a trailer was released to promote it. At 50 seconds in length, the video gives viewers a brief overview of what to expect from the series, including a wide variety of games and a larger than usual host of characters.

The trailer begins with a slow zoom out of planet Earth, along with a shot of some spinning asteroids, as Darth Vader's voice commends JonTron on his efforts against the Empire. Jon then looks directly at the camera, and wonders what sort of "genius" came up with this idea.

An 8-bit rendition of John Williams' Star Wars theme then begins playing as the viewers are shown a sample of the games to expect in this series, ranging from simple platformers of the '80s through to modern day pod-racing and adventure games. These clips are interspersed with live-action segments that appear to depict the series as though it were actually a Star Wars film.

The trailer climaxes with Alexander Gross removing his sunglasses and saying "Oh my God! It's Star Wars!" before a date for May 9th shows up on the screen for a few seconds. Once the date subsides, Jon asks the director if there was anything else they wanted to add before it finished.
