Google Gets A Star Wars Makeover

The Light or the Dark side see lightsabers, Stormtroopers, TIE fighters, X-wings and scenes from the Force Awakens take over your browser

Which side are you? Light or Dark? Jedi or Sith? Good or evil? Google is letting you choose and get a Star Wars makeover of its services.

Heading to google.com/starwars forces you to choose. Are you with the Resistance (formerly the Rebel Alliance) or the First Order (formerly the Empire)?

Choose your fate, tip the balance of the force – so far the Dark side is winning – and see your Google life infiltrated by lightsabers, Stormtroopers, TIE fighters and X-wings.

Someone at Google is obviously a massive Star Wars fan. If you’re running Chrome there’s even an extension to fill your new tabs with scenes from the new movie, the Force Awakens.

Google Maps Pegman (the figure you drop to go into Street View) becomes a First Order Stormtrooper or Resistance Pilot, and then jumps into either an TIE fighter or an X-wing to guide you to your destination.

Lightsabers replace loading and seeking bars within YouTube, Gmail and others. There are a collection of classic and new Star Wars images for Chromecast, while Google calendar will fill with key movie milestones.
