WATCH: Darth Vader Returns to Volkswagen Commercial

Star Wars returns yet again for the Super Bowl -- this time with a new twist.

Instead of a Darth Vader kid, this year's Super Bowl ad starts off with a dog who's trying to lose weight. Ha! Dogs losing weight...who knew?! (This is a joke! Consult your veterinarian for advice on keeping your dog healthy.)

The video pasts the minute mark but gets interesting in the end. Volkswagen uploaded the video Tuesday and is starting to pick up traction with 40,000 views.
