Club Penguin

Club Penguin was a web-based MMO virtual world created by New Horizon Interactive LTD., later known as Disney Canada. Players controlled a penguin avatar to explore the virtual-world, which was filled with many activities and mini-games. While the game was free to play, players with a membership subscription could enjoy exclusive mini-game levels and less restrictions. Every few months, the game also held original events and cross-promotional events. Two such cross-promotional events were themed around Star Wars.

In 2013, the first Star Wars event began in-game. The entirety of Club Penguin was redesigned around Star Wars: Episode IV A New Hope, and players were given missions and tasks that led up to the destruction of the Death Star. The second Star Wars event, based on the first season of Star Wars Rebels, began in 2015. Both events had lightsaber duels as exclusive features for players with active membership subscriptions. Club Penguin was later discontinued on March 29, 2017, after a drop in active players and overall interest.
