discord STAR WARS™ Makes Its Way to Discord (opens in new tab)
Discord has partnered with Lucasfilm to introduce a new Star Wars themed collection of Avatar Decorations and Profile Effects to the platform's Shop.

The release allows users to personalize their profiles with animations that celebrate the legacy of both the light and dark sides of the Force. **Collaborative Design and Inspiration** * The collection was developed through a direct collaboration between Discord’s in-house creative team and Lucasfilm to ensure authentic representation of the franchise. * Visual designs are intended to evoke specific emotional responses, such as the tension of a Sith Lord’s presence or the inspiration of heroic Jedi. * The "Darth Vader Arrives" profile effect specifically references the ominous red glow of the hallway scene from *Rogue One: A Star Wars Story*. **Available Decorations and Effects** * **Avatar Decorations**: The shop now includes specific frame animations such as two variants of Lightsabers, R2-D2 on Tatooine, a Space Battle, the Millennium Falcon Hyperdrive, Yoda on Dagobah, and a BB-8 animation. * **Profile Effects**: These full-profile animations feature specialized visuals including two variants of Lightsaber Mastery, Entering Hyperspace, and the Darth Vader Arrives effect. * These items are designed to fit seamlessly over standard Discord profile layouts to enhance user presence in group chats and servers. **Platform Integration and Access** * The Star Wars collection is accessible via the Discord Shop on desktop or through the "You" tab on the mobile application. * Discord Nitro members receive a specialized discount on all items within the collection, and these discounts also apply when purchasing decorations or effects as gifts for others. * Users requiring technical assistance with these new assets can refer to the platform's dedicated support documentation for troubleshooting.
