Star Wars Introduces New Lightsaber Emoji for Twitter

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
