September 1st, aka "Force Friday II", is already exciting because it's the day the first wave of products from Star Wars: The Last Jedi hit shelves, but now Lucasfilm has added another feature to make the entire weekend extra special. Today they announced an augmented reality scavenger hunt that will take place in stores from September 1st-3rd using the official Star Wars app. Throughout the weekend, fans are encouraged to find the special "Find the Force" logo on Star Wars display graphics in stores. This will unlock holograms of iconic Star Wars characters. There will be fifteen total holograms, with five different ones available each day of the weekend.
