Disney Has a New Star Wars Experience and It’s Free (For Now)

Disney is so generous when it comes to Star Wars. Truly, it just gives and gives.

For the cost of a Disney+ subscription, which will soon be available in an inexpensive ad-supported tier, it’s set to keep Star Wars fans well fed with a plethora of content over the coming years.

And now it’s introduced something fun and unexpected for the fans that doesn’t even require a subscription fee, or any money at all…for now.

What Is Disney Introducing For The Star Wars Fans? 

So we’ve all been there. 

You’re kind of curious about cosplaying as your favorite fiction character. But you don’t know anybody into the lifestyle, you don’t have a lot of money for accessories or any knowledge of where to buy a good lightsaber replica. 

And maybe you really only want to dip your toe into dressing like your favorite Rebel without committing to a whole thing. 

But now Disney has introduced a lens for its Disney PhotoPass Service that will let you see what you look like as your favorite Star Wars hero…or villain.

Just pick the options Lenses section of the Disney PhotoPass Service Snapchat profile. From there, you can see what you look like as a ​​Togruta or a Zabrak. Maybe you’d look nice with some horns?

Or if you’re itching to go to the darkside, you can choose to get filtered as the Jedi-hunting Inquisitors, who are currently bedeviling Ewan McGregor in the “Obi-Wan Kenobi” miniseries on Disney+. 

What a way to disturb the force.

This filter will mostly be used for sending fun texts between “Star Wars” loving friends. But surely, someone out there will put their photos on their dating profiles. Whatever floats your boat.

The Filter Is Only Free For A Limited Time

The filter is free until June 7. 

On June 8, the filter will be available exclusively through the My Disney Experience app with the purchase of Disney Genie+ service.

Even if you aren’t planning on visiting a theme park this year, and therefore don’t need the Genie+ app to make your trip go faster, the My Disney Experience app will still unlock many other Disney PhotoPass Lenses, so you can virtually cosplay your heart out, right from your phone. Select Lenses will be available for up to 45 days after purchase.

Do you need to recreate that scene from “Lady and the Tramp?” Well, now’s your chance!
