Takeovers aren’t new to the game site - Marvel, Shake It Up! and Monsters University have all had turns - but fans have long been clamoring for a Star Wars one. Penguins will also be able to dress up like some favorite Star Wars characters while they try to save the galaxy. Your child (or, let’s be honest, you) can then join the rebel forces to battle Stormtroopers, steal the secret plans and destroy the Death Star (seen in the exclusive image above). The Star Wars Takeover, available to play beginning July 25, will feature Darth Herbert and the evil Empire threatening the island. Your kids may want penguins added to the official Star Wars story after Disney’s Club Penguin has its first event with the iconic franchise. And now we’re offering ‘Star Wars’ because we can.” “We knew there was a lot of audience demand out there. “We have been bombarded by kids since the Lucasfilm acquisition was announced,” Heatherly said. “They've given us a lot of creative latitude and worked closely with us to make it faithful to the property.”Ĭlub Penguin’s managers had long been approached by its users to integrate “Star Wars” into the virtual world and received even more requests when Disney bought Lucasfilm last year for $4 billion. “The partnership with Lucasfilm has been amazing,” said Chris Heatherly, a Disney Interactive VP and head of Club Penguin. The “Star Wars” theme will also be offered on Club Penguin’s new mobile app, which has registered 1.5 million downloads since it was launched two months ago.
The takeover involves 18 rooms, three mini games and 20 or more costumes for penguin characters. Marvel was the first Disney branded crossover last summer, followed by “Monsters University.”īut the “Star Wars” event is Club Penguin’s largest to date, which runs through July 25, timed with next week’s Comic-Con in San Diego. Over the past year, Disney Interactive, which oversees Club Penguin, has increasingly turned to its corporate parent for more synergistic crossovers.Ĭlub Penguin’s managers have also given the sponsored events more playtime, with the events lasting two weeks at a time. Use the Force! Players can join the Rebel Alliance, find secret plans, infiltrate the Death Star, and defeat the evil Empire! Members can become a Jedi Master. Meanwhile, penguins across the galaxy rejoice about the Empire's defeat. Just before it exploded, Darth Herbert escaped in a starship. After flying to Tatooine and destroying Stormtrooper spies on Tatooine, penguins infiltrated the Death Star to obtain the secret plans, and after that, used them to find its weak spot and destroy it. Penguins work around the clock to build a landing pad for the Millennium Falcon at the Dock, so that when it landed on July 25, penguins can blast into space to destroy the Death Star and save the galaxy. The Rebel Alliance sends out a call for help to Club Penguin Island.
