Disney are releasing a Star Wars Scene Maker app which will allow children to take on the role of director.
Disney Publishing Worldwide executive VP Andrew Sugerman unveiled the plan at Variety’s Purpose: The Family Entertainment and Faith-Based Summit at the Four Seasons Beverly Hills on Thursday and explained that it will allow people to reimagine three iconic scenes from the Star Wars franchise.
He said: “The output of this is you’re actually going to create a minute-long film.”
Sugerman is excited about what the potential the app has.
He told Variety.com: “It’s addictive in that what you can do is limitless.”
Star Wars Scene Maker will be available from June 19.
