Google’s YouTube video-sharing website will serve as the medium to present the first 'Star Wars: the Force Awakens” products.

Andi Gutierrez and Anthony Carboni will host the first-ever global live toy unboxing event which will be live streamed on the Star Wars YouTube channel.

“Star Wars toys have always played an important role in how our fans interact with the Saga,” said Lucasfilm President Kathleen Kennedy. “They’ve inspired multiple generations to relive the experience of the movies and to create new adventures all their own. These spectacular Star Wars: The Force Awakens products will continue that tradition.”

Star Wars fans will get the chance to check out the film-inspired toys during the world’s first-ever global live toy unboxing event. It will kick off in Syndey, Australia on September 3, and will continue through Asia, Europe, Canada, North America, and South America. It will unfold over 18 hours in 15 cities and 12 countries.

“Over the course of 18 hours, some of Maker Studios’ biggest stars will each be unboxing a new toy from the Star Wars: The Force Awakens product line in a different city around the world and sharing the experience live on YouTube,” said Leslie Ferraro, President, Disney Consumer Products. “We’ve seen tremendous excitement for these new products and can’t wait to see the global reaction from the Star Wars fan community.”
