Watch 'The Force Awakens' Retold With Emojis

It doesn’t get much more 2016 than this. Playing off a popular social media tradition in which people summarize movie plots using only emojis, Disney Interactive Media is now heading into Season 2 of their As Told By Emoji series.

And in a perfect show of synergy, they’re kicking it off with a bite-sized, smiley-faced version of all-time U.S. box office champ Star Wars: The Force Awakens, which you can watch above. It’s clever and cute, and only slightly cheats with some actual images of The Finalizer, Kylo Ren’s command shuttle, and that awesome arm-swinging stormtrooper, but it’s likely your overall enjoyment of it will hinge on your threshold for emojibility.

And hey, if you can’t get enough emojiness, then good news: In Season 1 of the series, Disney emoji-fied Frozen, Aladdin, and Tangled. Also, as we noted at CinemaCon last month, Sony has an animated film in the works called… The Emoji Movie.
