Star Wars Introduces New Lightsaber Emoji for Twitter

Posted by Kelle Repass on Friday, August 23, 2024

If the C3P0, Stormtrooper and BB8 emoji weren’t enough to keep your Twitter feed action-packed, Star Wars has introduced a new emoji: a red lightsaber.

Twitter users need only tweet the hashtag #lightsaber to make the icon appear and effectively slay any intergalactic haters.

The emoji are part of the brand’s promotion for the upcoming Star Wars: Episode VII—The Force Awakens, opening in theaters in December.

160 days until this sick #lightsaber hits the big screen! But for now, unleash it on small screens everywhere. #SDCC pic.twitter.com/FvC1L2jPZt
