Get ready to build your very own Death Star.
Disney Interactive has teamed up with NimbleBit, the company behind the highly addictive 8-bit game Tiny Tower for a new Star Wars-themed version of the game.

The Star Wars: Tiny Death Star mobile game lets you live the life of Darth Vader and Emperor Palpatine and build your own Death Star. Much like Tiny Tower, in the new game you’ll run intergalactic businesses and try and get other "bitizens" to join the dark side and move into your combat-capable planet.
Disney has a history of teaming up with popular developers to create Disney-themed versions of their games. The company joined with Temple Run creator Imanji to launch Temple Run: Brave, Temple Run: Oz, and worked with Get Set on a Monster’s Inc.-themed version of its game Mega Run.
It’s a recipe that’s working for Disney: the themed Temple Run games quickly made their way to the top of the App Store charts, in some cases surpassing the original games.
Star Wars: Tiny Death Star will be available “soon” worldwide.
