The undisputed winner of last year’s Super Bowl ad war was Volkswagen and its little Darth Vader spot, which has garnered some 49 million views on the German automaker’s YouTube channel alone since last February. So why change a winning formula?

While Volkswagen is keeping its plans firmly under wraps for now, the company did publish a teaser spot that shows a pack of dogs barking in the tune of the Star Wars Imperial March.

The Germans also tell us to “keep an eye out” for the 2012 Super Bowl game day commercial as “it will all make sense”. You can peep the…bark side of the force in the video trailer after the break.
