Nicely done, Twitters.
Timed to the opening day of Star Wars Celebration, being held in Anaheim, California right now, and in anticipation of the premiere of Star Wars: The Force Awakens, Twitter teamed up with Disney and Lucasfilm to release a set of exclusive Star Wars-themed emojis.
And it’s awesome.
Even more exciting is Twitter’s promise to release additional custom emojis throughout this week/end, which will include iconic legacy characters, plus new characters from The Force Awakens. (CANNOT WAIT.)
These are the first three #StarWarsEmojis that debuted today, and tweeting them is super easy.
Just use the hashtags in the cheat sheet above, and each emoji will automatically append itself as an embedded image at the end of your tweets.
BOOSH.
Be sure to follow our contributor whose live at Star Wars Celebration on Twitter and Instagram; plus @StarWars and #TheForceAwakens for news and updates.

Cool!! I wonder if this was led by Twitter or Disney/Lucasfilm because it would be cool to see Facebook stickers and other emojis coming to other platforms too.
It’s a partnership between Twitter, Disney and Lucasfilm, Tamara
We need one for Chewie!!!
Love that Twitter is on top of this. The Star Wars geek inside of me loves it!
OK-that is SO cool! I need to try it. This should bump up my cool factor with my kids
Well that is SUPER cool. I love it.
