The release of "Star Wars: The Force Awakens" is still a couple of weeks away (Dec. 18), but the anticipation is at an all-time high.

In addition to press junkets, Stance socks and highly coveted tickets, Google is getting in on the action, too, with an Easter Egg.

Search for a "a long time ago in a galaxy far, far away" using the search engine and get your popcorn ready.

(Mobile users:) The screen transforms to mimic the film franchise's iconic opening, rolling credits to a space-themed backdrop along with the instantly recognizable music as well.

As The Independent brilliantly put it, "A short time ago, in a search engine never too far away..."

Inquisitr reports a "Star Wars" feature is in the works for certain apps such as Google Maps and Gmail as well.

May the force be with your office productivity.
