Twitter has rolled out new innovation that seeks to capture the attention of Star Wars fans worldwide in anticipation of the upcoming movie – Star Wars: The Force Awakens.
Starting 16th April, Twitter users will have even more ways to express their passion about their favorite pop culture phenomenon with new Twitter-exclusive #StarWarsEmojis. The new emojis ensure that fans are able to show their undying enthusiasm for the evolving Star Wars phenomenon.
The first three #StarWarsEmojis debuted today during the Star Wars Celebration underway in Anaheim, California. Others, including both iconic legacy characters and a handful of new ones in #TheForceAwakens, will appear later in the year.
Tweeting a #StarWarsEmoji is actually quite simple – all a Twitter user needs to do it post the hashtags representing keywords associated with specific Star Wars characters.
Once one does that, legacy themes will see a small emoji-like icon automatically appended to the end of the text of the tag, embedded within the Tweet.
These hashtags are:
- #C3PO
- #BB8
- #StormTrooper
Check them out on Twitter.
