Star Wars: The Force and a fan

Fortunately, there’s more to come between now and the film’s release, with Google mentioning “the Millenium Falcon in all its (virtual reality) glory”. Fans can choose to install the Awaken the Force Within Chrome app to see a new Force Awakaens-themed browser wallpaper every time they open a new tab. The Gmail inbox background will display light or dark side images.

With just a few weeks away from the premiere of Star Wars: The Force Awakens, Google is now offering customised Star Wars themes to its users.

Meanwhile, other Google properties – Waze, Google Translate, and the Android Wear Watch Face – will have their own Star Wars related tweaks rolling out. Or, you can stay all starry-eyed until February 1, because that’s when the fever subsides (according to Google). If you change your mind, you can switch allegiances, and the makeover will follow you as you move between devices; they’re available on Android, iPhone, iPad, Mac, Windows, and Chromebook. The Google Maps app will show your location not with the traditional arrow character, but with a Rebellion X-wing spacecraft or opposing TIE fighter.

The world is made of the Dark Side and the Light Side, many will argue. The group performed a medley of Williams’ “Star Wars” music.

It looks like Google is really getting into the Star Wars fever.

There has been an awakening in the force… on Google. Just head back to Google.com/StarWars, and you can change to whichever side you’d like. The Star Wars franchise will also be getting several new movies like Rogue One: A Star Wars Story, Star Wars: Episode VIII as well as the Han Solo anthology movie.
