Google Invites You To Choose Between the Light or Dark Side
The Force seems to be awakening everywhere as the Star Wars hype keeps growing. This time around, Google pays tribute to the epic series and invites all fans of the saga to show their allegiance and choose a side. Ahead of the premiere of the seventh movie, the search giant gives fans a Star Wars themed portal which not only asks for you to choose either the Light or the Dark Side but it also transforms your experience when using Google applications.
As soon as the Google extension makes its changes, users are enabled to encounter a whole new Star Wars world which reflects the selected side. You get to see X-Wings and TIE fighters while roaming around Google Maps. Gmail gets a new look too, but before the page is loaded, you can watch the loading bar becoming a loading lightsaber instead.
Other apps and services which incorporate the Force include Android Wear, YouTube, Waze, Google Translate, Google Calendar, Google Search, Chromecast, and YouTube.
There are several Easter Eggs hidden in the search tool as well. Go ahead and type out “a long time ago in a galaxy far, far away” in the search bar, press enter, and see what happens. The rest is history…
