Add Your Memories To Star Wars Now!

How would you like to be immortalized as part of the Star Wars galaxy? LucasFilm has partnered up with Target to do just that! Together they have created ShareTheForce.

ShareTheForce is an ever expanding database full of Star Wars fan memories that are uploaded by individuals. They can be a combination of images, phrases, or both. You can use one of the provided templates for text, or delete it and put your own message. Character space is limited so keep your message short or a part of it will get cut off.

Depending on what key words you use, the site will place you in a specific star system within the galaxy. For example, if you use phrases like "Darth" or variations of "Imperial" or "Empire", you might get placed in the Galactic Empire or Darth Vader systems. Using phrases like "Jedi" or "Force" might get you into the Yoda system, and so on.

The systems include Yoda, C3P0, R2D2, Jabba, Dueling Sabers, X-Wings/TIE Fighters, Darth Vader, Stormtoopers, Boba Fett & more!

Although your memory may be placed in one system, you are free to roam other systems and view other people's memories across the galaxy.

Each memory gets it's own specific set of coordinates that you can enter to revisit any time. Once you upload a memory, you will have the option to download a coordinates certificate. The coordinates make it easier to revisit your memories, otherwise you'll have to hunt them down, which is not that bad as you'll get to see others along the way.You can also share those coordinates with friends all over social media!

I've already placed some of my memories to share with you. Most of mine ended up in the Galactic Empire system, while a couple of them made it into the main Star Wars System.

Click HERE to go to the galaxy hub and then enter either of the following coordinates to see my memories. While there, you can click on other memories that are located nearby.

Coordinates:
X:218 Y:840 Z:786

X:661 Y:108 Z:793

X:661 Y: 81  Z:797

From the same galaxy hub, you can click the "+" button to add your own memories! There is no limit as to how many uploads you can have!


ONCE ALL ENTRIES ARE SUBMITTED, LUCASFILM WILL ARCHIVE THEM ALL AND MAKE THEM ACCESSIBLE TO EVERYONE! 

THERE IS NO DEADLINE CURRENTLY SET, BUT I'M SURE THAT WILL CHANGE. SO IF I WERE YOU I WOULDN'T WAIT!

Check out the video & pictures below:

Aussie Star Wars Fan Wouldn't Let A Tumor Slow Him Down: Launched "My Saga"

Adam Harris of Australia is just like any ordinary Star Wars fan, except one day he found himself faced with extraordinary circumstances. Around the same time as the birth of his second son in 2005, Adam was hospitalized after suffering severe headaches. Doctors found that he suffered a brain bleed due to an inoperable tumor. Adam now has to regularly go in for scans to monitor the tumors progress. 10 years have passed and he's still alive and kicking.

While he laid in his hospital bed on one of his hospital visits in 2014, he began re-evaluating his life. He realized that he'd never had the chance to visit America, home of Star Wars, or share that experience with his children.

Being an aspiring film maker, he decided he would find a way to fulfill that wish.

With the help of a Kickstarter campaign, he was able to secure the funds to take his son Jack Anakin Harris, to Star Wars Celebration Anaheim as well as LucasFilm. The campaign also funded the documentary that would chronicle their journey. The documentary is called "My Saga" and will release sometime in 2016.

UPDATE: My Saga website is live! Click HERE to check it out!

Below are some images of Adam, his son Jack , as well as the trailer for "My Saga" and a video interview with "The Feed".

The Force is definitely strong with this family!
