TikTok and Disney are partnering up to bring a wide selection of familiar voices, including many from the galaxy far far away, to their text-to-speech option, making the timewarp, hour-eating TikTok even more fun. You can ‘speak’ as Chewbacca, a Stormtrooper or C-3PO, and fingers crossed there’s more to follow.

According to Disney, character voices to be available in TikTok’s text-to-speech menu will include Chewbacca, C-3PO and a Stormtrooper from the Star Wars universe; others will include Stitch (from “Lilo & Stitch”) and Rocket Racoon (from “Guardians of the Galaxy”). At the time of this writing, Rocket Racoon is the only option available from the Disney collection.

To add the Disney character voices to a TikTok video, you first need to create a new post using the “+” button, then edit the video or image and tap “Next.” After that, tap “Text” at the bottom of the screen to add your text, then tap the “Text-to-speech” button to select one of the voices to use (which currently include Ghostface from the “Scream” movie franchise).

The new partnership with TikTok comes after Disney Plus recently launched an official TikTok account, which (of course) features short-form content geared around the streamer’s originals, characters and talent.
