Google Search has a superb hidden Star Wars easter egg
Google, of course, is famous for its “easter eggs” hidden on its websites.
May the force be with you.
“Star Wars” is expected to drive $2 billion in retail sales through the end of the year.
Google is no stranger to running super-cool search features surrounding popular topics and trends. That’s not all, you can even get a taste of John Williams’ infamous score by simply pressing the sound button.
You can also hit pause and scroll through the list at any time.
The Easter egg is mimicking the opening credits of the seminal 1977 film – as pretty much everyone knows, since Googling that opening line generates 435 million search results. The company is known for inserting little in-jokes into its search results, and a new one lets you feel as if you’re already watching the start of a new movie.
Players are challenged to become legendary Holotable masters as they collect characters from the original trilogy and prequels to Star Wars: The Clone Wars and Star Wars: The Force Awakens™.
The entirety of your Google search appears like the classic Star Wars title card crawl.
To celebrate the coming release of Star Wars: The Force Awakens, the site unveiled a hack to send your computer screen to another galaxy.
And while Google announced some fun new Star Wars themes and jokes, there’s a couple of others still floating around just waiting to be found.
Google isn’t the only brand that has celebrated the sequel of Star Wars.
