Twitter partnered with Disney and Lucasfilm to create the three custom emoji, which include a stormtrooper, C3PO, and the new droid from "The Force Awakens," BB8.

To access the emojis, you'll need a Twitter account - these emojis unfortunately won't be available in your phone's emoji keyboard. Each emoji can be created by tweeting out the name of the emoji as a hashtag: #stormtrooper, #C3PO, and #BB8.

Once you tweet out the hashtag, the emoji will appear.

The emojis will only show up within Twitter and its mobile app for now, so you won't be able to copy and paste the emojis into iMessage.

Twitter says that it will release more custom "Star Wars" emoji, "including iconic legacy characters and a handful of new characters."
