This is for all my friends who saw this ad back in the 1980s... I think we all have been traumatised by Astar...
But I think what I find confusing now that I am watching the video years later is the question of Astar's existence in relation to the planet that it lives on. Is the planet habited by Astar and other robots? Do the spinning blades and saws and other dangerous items serve some sort of purpose? Are they a part of some factory that is producing something? Is Astar supposed to be playing in this area? It is understood that Astar cannot get hurt so is it acceptable for it and other robots to just come and go as they want in these dangerous areas? Or is Astar a rebel? We don't see any other robots or companions with Astar. Is Astar the only habitant of this planet? How does that planet fit into our universe? It would be great to have some more explanations...
