Google just unleashed its coolest Star Wars-themed project yet.
The company unveiled Lightsaber Escape, a Chrome experiment that turns your smartphone into a lightsaber so you can battle Stormtroopers in your computer's browser.

To check it out, head to Google's Lightsaber Escape site and follow the on-screen instructions. You'll need to go to the corresponding URL on your smartphone browser and calibrate your smartphone by holding it up to the screen.
Once calibrated, you can start a tutorial where you learn to battle a single Stormtrooper, before moving on to a whole army of them. Wave your phone across the screen to fend off attacks and strike the Stromtroopers with your lightsaber while moving through the Star Destroyer.
Though the project comes from a collaboration between Disney (which owns the Star Wars franchise) and Google's Chrome team, you don't need to use Chrome to take advantage of the experience, as it works across mobile and desktop browsers. The company also published a deeper dive into the technology behind the project.
The project is Google's latest Star Wars-themed takeover. The company debuted a larger makeover to Gmail, Maps and other services last month, along with a couple of Easter Eggs in search and other Google products. The company also has Star Wars VR experience for Google Cardboard.
