Star Wars #stormtrooper emoji invade Twitter

<div class="field field-name-body field-type-text-with-summary field-label-hidden"><div class="field-items"><div class="field-item even" property="content:encoded"><p><a href='http://www.imore.com/star-wars-stormtrooper-emoji-invade-twitter' title="Star Wars #stormtrooper emoji invade Twitter"><img src='http://www.imore.com/sites/imore.com/files/styles/large_wm_brw/public/field/image/2015/04/star-wars-twitter-emoji-iphone6.jpg?itok=6zg5Vnkl' />[/url]</p> <p>Sure, there's a newly expanded set of ethnically-diverse and more-useful emoji out there (and already integrated into iOS (http://www.imore.com/how-use-new-diverse-emoji-keyboard-iphone-and-ipad)), but do they have stormtroopers or protocol droids? Didn't think so. Thankfully, Twitter does.</p> <!--break--> <p>Today's bringing us not only the new Star Wars: The Force Awakens trailer (the first landed way back in November 2014 (http://www.imore.com/first-teaser-star-wars-force-awakens-debuts-itunes-movie-trailers)), but new exclusive-to-Twitter emoji for Star Wars. So here's what we've got:</p> <p><strong>#stormtrooper</strong> <img src="https://abs.twimg.com/hashflags/starwars2015/stormtrooper.png" style="vertical-align:middle" /></p> <p><strong>#c3po</strong> <img src="https://abs.twimg.com/hashflags/starwars2015/c3po.png" style="vertical-align:middle" /></p> <p><strong>#bb8</strong> <img src="https://abs.twimg.com/hashflags/starwars2015/bb8.png" style="vertical-align:middle" /></p> <p>(BB8 being the little soccer ball droid from the aforementioned teaser)</p> <p>Twitter's "hashflag" feature was introduced back in June for the World Cup, letting users tweet out their support for their favorite team with an accompanying flag image. That it's expanding to include a marketing campaign like this for Star Wars isn't surprising, and we might protest a bit more if we weren't so excited for The Force Awakens.</p> <p>Alas, #llap still won't get you a Spock emoji (http://www.imore.com/how-type-spocks-vulcan-salute-emoji-your-iphone-or-ipad). And right now it only looks like you're able to view these emoji in the official Twitter app (http://www.imore.com/twitter) and on Twitter for the web.</p> <p>Source: Twitter (https://blog.twitter.com/2015/introducing-starwarsemojis)</p> </div></div></div><img width='1' height='1' src='(http://tipb.com.feedsportal.com/c/33998/f/616881/s/4575e815/sc/27/mf.gif)' border='0'/><br clear='all'/>
