Only a couple nights' sleep separate you from laying eyes on Stars Wars: The Force Awakens. After watching countless trailers, interviews, and the like, just for some semblance of insight on the plot, the time has come and Facebook wants you to celebrate. 

Lightsabers are lit. Lightsabers are an iconic (just remember all those duels) part of the Star Wars universe anyone would recognize even if they're not a fan of the saga. And that's why Facebook's letting fans and users alike add lightsabers to their profile photos for this week. Facebook's latest temporary profile filter allows users to place the lightsaber, in either blue (for the Jedi) or red (for the dark side), anywhere around a profile photo. It might not look nearly as epic as the photos below, but it's worth a shot, right? 

Awaken the force and show your allegiance.
