Disney's "honorary Jedi" and brand ambassador for the new Star Wars: The Force Awakens in China is China's very own pop star, LuHan. He released a new music video for "Inner Force," and displays some killer dance moves along the way.

LuHan's single is the film's official Chinese theme song, Billboard reports. The video features LuHan showing off some dance moves in an industrial warehouse, "along with extensive footage taken straight from the film," according to The Hollywood Reporter.

At only 25 years old, the now international pop star has a staggering number of followers on social media. It's reported that he has nearly 12 million on Weibo and currently holds the Guinness World Record for the most comments garnered on a single post.


With a social media track record like his, the video for "Inner Force" is sure to break the Internet immediately!

LuHan's boyish looks, choppy hairstyle and army of young girls spanning Asia has garnered him the title of the Chinese Justin Bieber.

It was announced in March he would join Disney as an honorary member of the "Jedi Order" in China. This new title would result in appearing prominently in the studio's local marketing campaign.

Billboard reports, China is the last area included in the global marketing expansion of the Star Wars franchise and just so happens to be the second largest film market in the world.

Bloomberg notes, "Star Wars: The Force Awakens broke the $760.5 million record for U.S. and Canadian ticket sales set by 2009's Avatar, giving the Walt Disney Co. blockbuster bragging rights over the biggest film market in the world."  In international territories, the film has ranked in an additional $800 million. Hopefully the Chinese release will only add to the success of the Disney franchise.
