Helping You Say, “Hello there….”

New emojis, stickers, and filters celebrate Obi-Wan Kenobi

Meanwhile, and to help that concentration on the ephemeral moments that make up social media, Lucasfilm recently rolled out some social media “flair” featuring our favorite Jedi Master and crew.

There are three new features: stickers, Twitter emojis, and an AR filter.

StarWars.com explained:

1. Head to Giphy.com/StarWars for animated stickers and GIFs that you can add to photos and more. Choose from a disapproving Uncle Owen, cheery Leia and Lola, the bearded Jedi Master himself, and others, all illustrated by famed artist Truck Torrence, as well as clips from the show.
2. Bring Leia’s adorable droid to life with this official AR filter. Take photos of the droid on your office desk, with the family cat, or pose with her for a selfie.
3. Continue the conversation about Obi-Wan Kenobi in style! Enjoy emojis of Obi-Wan, Darth Vader, and many more with the following hashtags

• #ObiWanKenobi
• #DarthVader
• #LittleLeia
• #FifthBrother
• #Reva
• #GrandInquisitor
• #Lightsaber
• #NedB
• #LolaDroid
• #Tala
• #HajaEstree
• #KawlanRoken
• #LittleLuke
• #UncleOwen
• #AuntBeru

So, have at it, peeps. Check out the new social media stuff; now you have a bunch of new ways to reach out and say, “Hi.”
