Looks like the rumor was correct, but with a slight delay. Originally slated to launch on October 4th, the Verizon Empire Strikes Back Android app ended up launching a day late on the 5th. While the app itself is free, the full range of content can be purchased for $2.99 (the charge will be on your Verizon bill, not processed through the Android Market itself). Curious as to what content is included in the app? Droid-Life.com gives us the lowdown:

"- There are 4 sections based off of scenes from the movie Empire Strikes Back which include a live wallpaper, movie clip, photo gallery, soundboard, and widgets.

- There is a Bounty Hunter scavenger hunt built in.

- A Star Wars news feed.

- A trivia challenge."
