We’ll definitely feel a disturbance in the force September the 4th, 2015.
Two epic Star Wars-fan events will be taking place this Friday, and you don’t want to miss out!
Target recently announced the launch of ShareTheForce.Target.com the first digital collection of Star Wars memories. For the first time in Star Wars fan culture, Target will attempt to connect the 147 million Star Wars fans around the world!
Target is introducing a unique program to unite these generations of fans in a way that only Target can do.
Fans can submit their memories (either photo or story) at ShareTheForce.Target.com to transform their memory with a Star Wars hologram treatment and receive their own galactic coordinates pointing to their permanent place in the galaxy.
The “Share the Force” website offers an interactive and shareable way for fans to find their place in the Star Wars galaxy by including their personal memories, resulting in a collection that will span generations, cultures and continents.
The collection, which will include celebrity fans Minka Kelly, Chris Hardwick and Bobby Moynihan, will go on to be archived at Lucasfilm – becoming an everlasting example of how we’re all connected by the force.
Stay tuned for additional details regarding “Force Friday” on September 4, 2015, when new exclusive merchandise for the release of “Star Wars: Episode VII – The Force Awakens” will hit stores nationwide. Target will join in the product launch excitement with a series of midnight openings across 207 stores to allow fans to experience the new products as they hit shelves.
