Back in 2015, Disney and Lucasfilm found monumental success in the original Force Friday, a full global launch of all the products for Star Wars: The Force Awakens, with 150,000 people all around the world turning up for midnight store openings.
For The Last Jedi, however, things are stepping up a gear. Force Friday II will be a monumental three-day event taking place from 1-3 September at over 20,000 retail locations across 30 countries, all embellished with a brand new augmented reality experience accessible to anyone with a smartphone.
Do you want to meet the adorable Porgs face-to-face? Well here's your chance, as a new AR treasure hunt will allow you to interact with both The Last Jedi's new and returning characters.
All you need to do is download the official Star Wars app, then visit any one of the 20,000 participating retail locations to find any of the 5 different standees. Each includes a Find the Force logo that you can then scan using the Star Wars app to unlock one of the characters, which you can then take photos and video with.
On top of that, of course, will be the launch of the entire Star Wars: The Jedi product range: we're talking toys, gadgets, collectibles, and books. We've collected some of the most exciting products to look out for below:
Force Friday II runs from 1-3 September, with The Last Jedi product line launching globally at 12.01am on 1 September.
