Star Wars: The Force Awakens as told by emojis

On this Star Wars Day, May the Fourth be with you.

To celebrate, Disney has recreated its blockbuster hit "Star Wars: The Force Awakens" using emojis.

The clip from a galaxy far, far away comes complete with music, an epic light saber battle, and Millennium Falcon noises.

As you can see, the video lovingly recreates the film, adding in additional flourishes like the TR-8R meme and 3D space explosions, but with the adorable symbols we all know and love. And what's more, those emojis were created by artist Truck Torrence, who goes by the name 100% Soft, and who created the emojis for the official Star Wars app.

There's even an Uber-like notification called "Chewber" that sends an alert when Chewbaca shows up to save the day.

Disney has several other emoji-filled versions of some of its favorite movies, including Aladdin, Tangled, and Frozen.
