Star Wars Fans Invited to “Find the Force” As Unprecedented Augmented Reality Event Sweeps the Globe for
Force Friday II

 

 
Following the global phenomenon of Force Friday in 2015, Disney and Lucasfilm today announced Find the Force, a global augmented reality (AR) event rolling out on Force Friday II (September 1) to commemorate the worldwide launch of new products inspired by Star Wars: The Last Jedi.
 

The pop-up AR treasure hunt aims to unite fans around the world in the battle against the dark side in a unique three-day event at over 20,000 retail locations across 30 countries. As fans turn up to take home new Star Wars: The Last Jedi products, they will have the opportunity to activate a unique augmented reality experience featuring Star Wars characters, including fan-favorites and new surprise additions from the film.

From September 1-3, retailers around the world will invite fans to Find the Force by taking part in an AR treasure hunt.

Here’s how it works:

  1. Download the Star Wars App (those who already have the app will need to download the latest version).
  2. Visit any one of 20,000 participating retail locations to find a graphic that contains the Find the Force logo.
  3. Scan the graphic using the Star Wars App to reveal a character, who through augmented reality, will appear in the room with you. You can then take photos, record videos, and share the experience on social media. Come back each day to reveal new characters

Star Wars: The Last Jedi opens in U.S. theaters on December 15, 2017.
