Disney is backing the upcoming theatrical release of Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker with some limited-edition features on Messenger From Facebook.
The film’s official release date in the U.S. is Dec. 20.
Starting Thursday, Messenger users can bring the Force to their chats with a Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker chat theme and reaction emojis featuring the movie’s heroes and villains.

The social network and Disney teamed up on three new augmented reality affects for Messenger:
- Lightspeed, which enables people to travel to a whole new dimension, moving at speeds never reached before.
- Cockpit, which lets users visualize themselves as part of the Resistance, gliding through galaxies in Poe Dameron’s X-Wing.
- Dark vs. Light, where people decide which side of the Force their allegiances lie with.

Finally, Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker stickers are available for use starting Thursday.
