  • MixMob's Racer 1 game will see Star Wars stormtroopers make an appearance starting in the second quarter.
  • The developer plans to arrange three more licensing deals this year.

MixMob, a Solana-based gaming platform, acquired the licensing rights to the Original Stormtrooper, which first appeared in the 1977 movie Star Wars: A New Hope.

The license allows MixMob to add the iconic character to its card racing game, Racer 1, as a non-fungible token (NFTs) in the second quarter, the firm said in a press release. Stormtroopers are soldiers in the fictional Star Wars franchise and among the most recognizable figures in the film industry.
