By Anthea Quay, 24 Apr 2012

Microsoft has released a social networking mobile app that allows you to view your Facebook and Twitter feeds in the iconic style of the Star Wars’ opening title sequence ‘crawl’.

The app, called ‘Kinect Star Wars’, also allows you to post to both social networking sites.

“We are putting ‘the Force’ directly into people’s phones to help launch [the Xbox 360/Kinect game] ‘Kinect Star Wars’,” Stephen McGill, director of Xbox and Entertainment for Microsoft UK, said in a statement.

“Fans will be able to carry a piece of the Star Wars universe in their pockets and, like the game for Xbox 360, immerse themselves in the incredible world of one of the most enduring entertainment franchises like never before.”

Users can download the social networking app for Android devices and Windows devices; the iPhone version will be available soon.
