Disney takes over Star Wars website with new design, features

It’s a known fact that Disney already owns Lucasfilm. They’ve proven that by initiating the reboot of the “Star Wars” saga through a new film trilogy and other expansions of it in TV. There was only one platform that Disney hadn’t expanded to with the intergalactic saga – on the web.

That problem was corrected just recently thanks to the help of a few droids and the humans who programmed them from Disney Interactive. The new StarWars.com is still home to everything about George Lucas’ famed franchise and a whole bunch of new features that will satisfy those who are both strong and weak in the Force.

Some of the new features of the site include:

• Long-form articles and videos that go behind the scenes of past, current and upcoming projects

• Exclusive online videos, including a behind the scenes video of the making of Chopper from the upcoming series Star Wars: Rebels, and more to come in the following weeks

• The immersive Databank, an encyclopedia of hundreds of pieces of Star Wars knowledge about characters, creatures, locations, droids and devices.

• Details about upcoming fan events

• Users can log in with their Disney ID to access upcoming special features and digital experiences

• New, simple navigation and design

• Rich, consistent experience across all platforms and devices using the same technology that powers the entire Disney Interactive Media portfolio

This all has been packed into a whole new interface that allows users to access all this content on any kind of device, mobile or desktop.
