Facebook has come up with a special Star Wars theme for Facebook Messenger ahead of the launch of Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker. The new theme is in line with the Dark Mode aesthetics across apps on social media.

Designed for the fans, the theme adds Star Wars emojis, animated stickers and AR filters for video calls to the app. Not designed to exactly save battery the way Dark Mode does on most apps, it should nonetheless put less strain on your battery than the normal white theme on an OLED screen.
