If you have a near insane love for all things Star Wars, why not carry all that awesome in your pocket? The new official Star Wars app lets you do just that.
Lucasfilm and Disney Interactive have teamed up to launch the official Star Wars app, a free app that will send your phone (and you) to a galaxy far, far away.
On top of giving you access to exclusive content like StarWars.com and its official channels on social media, you also get light side, dark side or droid interface themes to snazzy up your mobile. Each theme has its own unique designs, animations and sounds so pick your favourite! It will also feature an interactive countdown to Star Wars: The Force Awakens which is set to premiere at the end of the year.
The app will feature daily updates on apps, products and other experiences plus these features:
- News: Get instant notifications on big announcements from across the franchise, including trailer releases, movie updates and game news. The news feed is fully customizable, so users can filter which platforms their updates are coming from, and which aspects of the Star Wars franchise they’re hearing about.
- Augmented Reality: Bring the Star Wars universe to life by unlocking 3D characters from Star Wars: The Force Awakens using an exclusive augmented reality camera feature. The trigger for this feature will change over time, introducing new characters and objects.
- Videos: Watch official Star Wars videos, including movie trailers, behind-the-scenes featurettes, and more.
- Force Trainer: Wield a lightsaber and hone your skills by playing with the Force Trainer, an interactive activity where users can duel a training remote, as seen in Star Wars: A New Hope.
- Star Wars “Selfie”: Take and share a Star Wars “selfie” in various iconic costumes and settings, including Jedi, Princess Leia, Han Solo’s carbon-freeze, and more.
- GIFs: Share animated GIFs with friends and family of memorable scenes and characters from the Star Wars movies and TV shows, including Star Wars: The Force Awakens and Star Wars Rebels.
- Soundboard: Play classic sound clips and sound effects from your favorite Star Wars characters, creatures, weapons, vehicles, and scenes.
- Star Wars History: Discover behind-the-scenes fun facts with This Day In Star Wars
- Weather: Get Star Wars-themed weather and five-day forecasts, featuring original art and parallax effects of in-universe planets and locales.
The app will continue to grow with the franchise available on iOS and Android, free of charge. Go download yours today!
