Star Wars comes to Tumblr 

Not so long ago, in a social network not so far away, it was Darth Vader shooting a selfie on Instagram.

 

But now, it's R2D2 displaying, uh, Star Wars memes on a new social network: Tumblr.

 

"Artoo is pleased to announce the launch of our official Tumblr! We promise there won’t be any cat videos… except maybe a nexu or two," read the message on Star Wars' first Tumblr post.

 

The post showed R2D2 displaying several holographic Star Wars memes, with a bewildered Luke Skywalker and Ben Kenobi watching.

 

A separate article on Mashable noted the Tumblr account is relatively "bare bones" for now, but may have sections for comic strips, concept art and a "character of the week."

 

"As the Yoda-like caption reads on those categories: 'Impossible to see, the future is. Check back soon, you should,'" it added.

 

Mashable also noted the Star Wars franchise has been successful in social media, with 10 million Likes on Facebook and more than 200,000 followers on Instagram. — TJD, GMA News
