The 2015 San Diego Comic-Con starts tomorrow, Thursday July 9, and in preparation for the big event, Star Wars has released a trailer detailing information about their brand-new all in one Star Wars App. “Get a first look at the official Star Wars app, your mobile connection to a galaxy far, far away, in this special trailer.“

From the Star Wars YouTube Page — By downloading the App, Star Wars fans will get access to:

  • Instant notifications on big announcements, including trailer releases and movie news.
  • Theme your app with Light Side, Dark Side, or Droid interfaces, each containing different designs, sounds, and animations.
  • Unlock 3D characters from Star Wars: The Force Awakens using a special Augmented Reality camera feature.
  • Take and share a Star Wars “selfie” in various iconic costumes and settings, including Jedi, Princess Leia (with hair buns), Han Solo’s carbon freeze, and more.
  • Get Star Wars-themed weather and five-day forecasts, featuring original art and parallax effects of in-universe planets and locales.
  • Wield a lightsaber and hone your skills against a training remote, as seen in Star Wars: A New Hope.
  • Share animated GIFs with your 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.
  • Discover behind-the-scenes fun facts with This Day In Star Wars History.
  • Play classic sound clips and sound effects from your favorite Star Wars characters, creatures, weapons, and scenes.
  • As an iOS user, you can get the App from the Apple Store — iTunes Star Wars App

This App looks amazing, and I for one will be downloading as soon as it’s available. The countdown clock alone, is worth the time it takes to download. The App was released today, so get busy and add it to your mobile device…what are you waiting for?
