Chinese pop star Lu Han, Disney’s “honorary Jedi” and brand ambassador for Star Wars: The Force Awakens in China, released a music video Thursday for “Inner Force,” the film’s official Chinese theme song (see the video below).
The video features shots of the baby-faced 25-year-old star singing and dancing in an industrial warehouse, along with extensive footage taken straight from the film. It is all but certain to go viral in China, where Han commands a massive online following (he has nearly 12 million followers on Weibo and holds the Guinness World Record for most comments on a single post).
