Hey guess what , there ’s a new Star Wars moving picture come out ! And as the latest ploy to dominate the on-line conversation , the motion-picture show has partner with Twitter to make emoji - generate hashtags for three members of the Episode VII universe , just as anew mystifier trailer hitsat Star Wars Celebration .
The emoji themselves are super endearing and passing easy to use . Using the hashtags on Twitter is the only direction to make the emoji seem , which means you have to go to chirrup point com or habituate the Twitter app in iOS 8.3 to see them — you ca n’t cut and glue them to use them elsewhere . My only question : WHY NO # R2D2 ? ? ?
What a elbow room to FORCE people to use hashtags , amirite ? populate your feed with # STORMTROOPERs is fun , for trusted , but I intend this sets a dangerous precedent for emoji - as - ads . What ’s next ? Hashtags for summertime flick that generate emoji like # MADMAX and # ARIGOLD ? What happens in 2017 when we type # FURIOU8 ? Or is Star Wars special ? ( permit ’s hope so . )
Anyway , even though I ’m a Star Wars mortal , I prefer theVulcan salute emojiwhich is not really an prescribed Twitter selling partnership , it ’s just a Modern Unicode symbol that did n’t make it into the Apple keyboard . But iOS 8.3 now supports it ( so you could only see it on a speech sound ) . And I ’d argue that it ’s infinitely more utilitarian in everyday communication theory .
I summate up my thoughts thusly :
Of course , by the prison term the next Star Trek movie comes out , I ’m trusted Twitter will have taken this hashtag over , too .
