This is just one part of Google's partnership with Disney to promote The Force Awakens. Beginning this week, you can align with the Light or Dark side. Activating one or the other choice will add a variety of Jedi or Sith-powered enhancements to your Google experience.

The Force Awakens comes to theaters on December 18. Star Wars Battlefront will introduce content themed around the movie called The Battle of Jakku starting on December 1. Just today, developer DICE announced a new mode for the DLC called Turning Point. Get all the details here.

Does anyone know how to get rid of the ugly topic scroll bar at the bottom of the screen, its annoying as hell. Sorry for posting here, but seems like this topic has a lot of readers. I'm leaving GS if I can't get rid of that thing.

@kazeswen: Agreed. I read my web pages zoomed in using Ctrl+mousewheel and the topic bar covers up so much of the page. I honestly can't stand it and won't be back here if it stays.

This not working for different people depends on something not installed on computers.

It works on my Chrome, my computer, but doesn't work on Chrome, my roommate's computer.
