The forecast now assumes that consumers will spend $3 billion a year on licensed toys, clothing, and other assorted SW-related stuff, with about $215 million going back to Disney.

Disney has also created a game on the app store to promote the movie even further which is for Android and IOS. There is also a regular app which is used to explain the previous 6 films for new fans or for people that have forgot

Disney also film the reactions of fans/celebrities for example on BBC they show peoples views of the trailer.
