all ages the tools to create, control, customize, capture and share

Featuring 3D models of characters, vehicles, and environments,
“Scene Maker” allows fans to zoom in, pull back and explore each
animated Star Wars scene. Users have the freedom to place
characters and vehicles wherever they choose, and then customize
them with a variety of weapons to create new storylines and
dialogue.
Three movable cameras can be maneuvered and switched to
different film modes, with options to rotate and adjust vertical
heights to give scene makers complete creative control of how they
film their scenes. Additionally, iconic music and dialogue deepen
the scene making experience, while options to record original
dialogue expand the level of customization. A save and share option
provides opportunities for fans to socialize their content
online.
“At Disney Publishing, we are committed to reaching today’s
consumers in deeper, more engaging ways through innovative and
immersive storytelling experiences,” said Andrew Sugerman,
executive vice president, Disney Publishing Worldwide. “Star Wars
Scene Maker allows us to put kids and fans of all ages in the
director’s seat and provide them with ways to unleash their
creativity and share their passion for the Star Wars brand in a new
way.”
The first app in the “Scene Maker” series launches with iconic
scenes from the original trilogy: “The Battle of Endor,” from Star
Wars Episode VI: Return of the Jedi, “Cloud City Duel” from Star
Wars Episode V: The Empire Strikes Back, and “Death Star Trench
Run” from Star Wars Episode IV: A New Hope. “The Battle of Endor”
is free with download, and each additional content pack is $2.99,
or $3.99 for both.
The “Scene Maker” apps will continue to feature content from the
Star Wars Saga, with plans to expand to new content from the
upcoming “Star Wars Rebels” animated series on Disney XD.
Additional content packs will be released through app updates, and
available through in-app purchase.
"Star Wars Scene Maker" is available now for free for iOS on the
App Store. For additional Star Wars mobile apps updates and
