Tweet the Star Wars emojis, Luke

Yeah, it doesn’t have quite the same ring as "Use the Force", but it gets the point of the story across which is that, starting today, Twitter is rolling out new Star Wars inspired emojis.

Naturally this is in anticipation of the theatrical release of the new Star Wars movie, 'The Force Awakens' (which hopefully won’t be anywhere near as dreadful as the Star Wars prequels). Watch the new teaser trailer for that below.

The custom emojis have been created in partnership with Disney and Lucasfilm and include iconic legacy characters, as well as a handful of newcomers from the forthcoming film.

To use the #StarWarsEmoji all you need to do is add a hashtag relating to a specific Star Wars character/object to your tweet. #Stormtrooper for example.

Try it out, and see what you can come up with. By which I mean, do it, there is no try, after all.
