Buena Vista(NEW YORK) — It might as well be Christmas for Star Wars fans, although there’s no tree.  There are, however, plenty of presents as the world’s first live, global toy unboxing event is underway to promote Friday’s release ofStar Wars: The Force Awakens toys.  The movie opens in December.

The rolling event moves from time zone to time zone today, beginning earlier this morning in Sydney, Australia.  It’ll cover 12 countries and 15 cities in all when it’s done, after which all of them will go on sale at midnight — or Force Friday, as it’s being called.

We did say it was live: you can watch it now on the official Star Wars YouTube live stream.  You can also livechat as you watch, and see what Star Wars fans from around the world are saying, in real time.

Stars Wars is owned by Disney, which owns ABC News.
