"We are so excited for fans to step into Star Wars: Tales from the Galaxy’s
Edge later this year,” said Vicki Dobbs Beck, ILMxLAB Executive-in-Charge.
“This action-packed adventure not only speaks to the promise of connected
and complementary experiences by extending the lore around Black Spire
Outpost, it represents another meaningful step in ILMxLAB’s quest to
transition  from storytelling – one-way communication – to storyLIVING,
where you’re inside a world making consequential choices that drive your
experience forward."
Star Wars: Tales from the Galaxy's Edge will give players the opportunity
to live their own adventure and explore a new part of a galaxy far, far
away in virtual reality. The original story will feature both new and
iconic characters from the Star Wars universe with multiple styles of
gameplay and difficulty settings to accommodate a wide variety of players,
from Star Wars fans to VR gamers alike.
“The rich storytelling in Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge has redefined what a
Disney park experience can be, and we are thrilled fans will have an
opportunity to discover new stories, meet new characters and explore new
regions of the planet Batuu in Star Wars: Tales from the Galaxy’s Edge,”
said Scott Trowbridge, Walt Disney Imagineering Creative Executive. “Now
our guests can immerse themselves in these stories both inside and outside
our parks.”
Taking place between Star Wars: The Last Jedi and Star Wars: The Rise of
Skywalker on the planet of Batuu, the adventure is set on the outskirts of
Black Spire Outpost of Star Wars: Galaxy's Edge, the epic new land at
Disneyland Resort in California and Walt Disney World Resort in Florida.
This experience will extend the storytelling of Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge
like never before and for the first time, at home.
“We’re very happy to collaborate with ILMxLAB again on Star Wars: Tales
from the Galaxy’s Edge. VR is an incredibly powerful storytelling medium;
this experience will immerse fans in a deep and thrilling adventure within
the Star Wars galaxy, as they are transported to impossible places through
the power of virtual reality,” said Mike Verdu, VP of Content, AR/VR at
Facebook.
