Rogue One catches a ride with Uber

New partnership will give US fans the chance to unlock special features in the app.

Disney has joined forces with Uber for its latest partnership for Rogue One: A Star Wars Story.

Uber users will be able to unlock special Rogue One features and check out exclusive video content – including behind the scenes footage – in the app.

The promotion runs from December 12-18 in cities worldwide served by Uber, timed to coincide with the movie’s cinema release.

To access the content in the updated app, users simply tap ‘activate’ on the Rogue One: A Star Wars Story card. That will replace the Uber vehicle images showing the current location with Star Wars starships.

“This collaboration delivers – at your fingertips – a first-of-its-kind warm-up to the journey and vehicles you’ll see in Rogue One,” said Asad Ayaz, evp of marketing at the Walt Disney Studios.

Rogue One is anticipated to open to over $130 million at the box office when it arrives later this week.
