Spotify has become the latest company to piggyback on Star Wars marketing. The company has a standalone website where users can choose which character they want to be. The website analyzes user listening data and assigns characters based on the most popular artists. This process, while not entirely absurd, lacks any sort of logic.
Character-match algorithm in Star Wars: The Force Awakens
A new computer program has been developed to analyze fan fiction and match it to the films. The researchers started with the script of “Star Wars: The Force Awakens,” analyzing words and phrases and comparing them to millions of fan fiction stories to determine which words, scenes and characters were the most popular. Then, the researchers looked at the connections between characters, scenes and phrases.
Character-specific playlists on Spotify
Star Wars fans will appreciate new character-specific playlists on Spotify. These playlists have been designed to help fans match their favorite Star Wars character to the right music. You can choose from a number of playlists, including those featuring Han Solo, Qui-Gon Jinn, Chewbacca, Mace Windu, and BB-8. There’s also a feature that lets you share your favorite playlists with your friends.
Users can discover and play character-specific playlists by logging into their Spotify accounts. The music they like most is automatically paired with the appropriate Star Wars character. While some of the characters have been known for a long time, others have only recently made their public debuts. To access these character-specific playlists, you’ll need to log into your Spotify account or use the guest option to select a few of your favorite artists.
Another fun feature of Star Wars Spotify is its blend feature. When you’re listening to songs inspired by your favorite Star Wars characters, your play bar will turn into a lightsaber. Once loaded into the playlist, it will alternate between characters from different movies. This feature is particularly useful for people who love to dance.
Character-specific playlists on Star Wars Spotify are available for each of the films. Rey has a playlist of music by Demi Lovato, while Han Solo has a playlist with songs by Jimi Hendrix and BB-8’s “Ridin’.” Chewbacca is a fan of 80s hair metal bands, and his Spotify profile has several playlists featuring the songs he likes.
A good playlist title can be a pun or joke. It should be short and easy to read. Consider the genre and keywords. Use descriptive language to help readers understand what they’re listening to. Word clouds can also help. Using a word cloud can help you find words that are related to the genre of the playlist.
Lightsaber feature on Spotify
If you’ve been using Spotify to listen to Star Wars music, you might have noticed that the play bar at the bottom of your screen turns into a lightsaber. This feature was added to all of the Star Wars soundtracks in Spotify. Initially, only Luke, Darth Vader, and Anakin were available as lightsabers. However, now you can also see Leia, Ahsoka, Mac Windu, and Rey.
As for the Easter egg itself, it doesn’t come around very often. In the past decade, Spotify has added four easter eggs to its service, and four of them have been removed. This Easter egg is a small detail, but it’s a nice treat for fans of the franchise.
Star Wars-themed progress bar
If you’re a Star Wars fan, Spotify has an Easter egg you can activate to turn your progress bar into a lightsaber. All you need to do to activate the feature is to play the Complete Star Wars Soundtrack. Once you’ve done that, you can change the color of the lightsaber on your play bar and even change the model. This Easter egg remains on your Spotify play bar while you’re listening to other music.
Spotify has been jumping on the Star Wars craze lately, thanks to the new movie in theaters. The music streaming service has come out with a lightsaber-themed progress bar for The Force Awakens and Rogue One soundtracks. While the feature isn’t available for all movies, it’s still a neat Easter egg to find. The lightsaber-themed progress bar appears on any song with a score from the movies.
Anna Lapwood, an organist at Pembroke College in Cambridge, first spotted this secret Easter egg while listening to the Star Wars soundtrack on Spotify. Since then, Spotify has exhibited an affinity for Star Wars, which they’ve recently embraced by releasing a website for matching people to their favorite characters.
