Washington: As the Star Wars Celebration event kicks off in Anaheim, Twitter is rolling out Star Wars emojis to enable fans and enthusiasts to spruce up their conversations on the micro-blogging platform.

For now, only three emojis are available and they appear only when you use specific Star Wars hashtags. You won't see them in the emoji keyboard, reported The Verge.

When you use the hashtags #C3PO, #Stormtrooper, or #BB8, the emoji for the respective character will appear. However, it seems to be working only on web browsers and Twitter's mobile app for now. Mac users and people using third-party apps will only see the hashtags.

The report said that more "iconic legacy characters and a handful of new characters" will be available in the run-up to the release of The Force Awakens.
