Go Rogue with these Star Wars themes

Update May 4th: We revisit these great themes for Rogue One to celebrate Star Wars Day!  

It's opening night. You're all ready for your midnight showing: got your tickets, got your perfect Star Wars shirt picked out, or maybe a whole ensemble if you're aiming to win that costume contest… but is your phone as decked out as your lovely self? No? Let's fix that.

• Darth Vader theme
• K-2S0 theme
• Death Star theme

Darth Vader

You don't know the power of the dark theme. This theme is as dark, delicious, and daring as it is elegant. Darth Vader is one of the best villains ever, and so long as we don't have to suffer through any more Anakin brooding, we're happy to see as much of him on screen as Disney is willing to give us. We could all use a little more Vader in our lives, and our home screens are no exceptions. Here's what we need:

• Darth Vader wallpaper by Gaurav Seth
• Whicons (opens in new tab)
• Death Star app drawer icon
• 1Weather (opens in new tab)
• KWGT (opens in new tab)
• Vader Music Preset for KWGT
• A file explorer for moving KWGT files into the proper folders.
• A launcher that allows for third-party icon packs, replacing individual icons, resizing widgets, and at least a XxX home screen grid. These instructions are drafted for Nova Launcher but can be easily adapted for other launchers like Action Launcher.

Once you've got everything that you need downloaded, it's time to dive in!

K-2S0
