A quirky little indie movie you probably haven’t heard of is coming to theaters this Friday and — oh, who am I kidding, it’s freaking Star Wars!

In an effort to ramp up excitement about The Rise of Skywalker, Disney just added new Star Wars content to its Disney Magic Kingdoms game. Check out a trailer below:

Disney Magic Kingdoms is a “tycoon” game (think RollerCoaster Tycoon or Theme Park). You build your own theme park — with the twist, obviously, being that it is based on Disney properties.

The new Star Wars content in Disney Magic Kingdoms lets you outfit your park with characters, attractions and decorations taken from the movie franchise. There are X-Wing Simulators, Resistance Speeders and the chance to sell lightsabers to kids. There are also references to plenty of classic locations such as Hoth, Endor and Jakku.

Finally, you can add characters including Rey, Poe, Finn, BB-8, General Hux, a First Order Stormtrooper and Kylo Ren. They come with their own original quests, in which you must help battle Kylo Ren and the First Order.

You can download Disney Magic Kingdoms from the App Store. The game is free download, although in-app purchases are available. It requires iOS 9 or above.
