Posted on by Mathew Corn Disney Parks

Meta Quest and ILMxLAB, Lucasfilm’s award-winning immersive entertainment studio, are presenting a special Quest 2 preview of Star Wars: Tales from the Galaxy’s Edge coming to the Downtown Disney District at the Disneyland Resort, Nov. 21, 2021 – Jan. 5, 2022.

This preview version of ILMxLAB’s virtual reality experience expands the world of Batuu like never before! Once inside the Quest 2 headset, Guests will be immersed within sweeping 360 views of the Star Wars galaxy. The adventure takes place on the outskirts of Black Spire Outpost on the planet of Batuu, as depicted in Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge, the immersive epic lands at Disneyland Resort in California and Walt Disney World Resort in Florida.

The story features both new and iconic characters from the Star Wars galaxy. Gameplay was designed for a variety of players – from Star Wars fans to VR gamers – at home on Quest 2. 

In Part 1 of this action-adventure experience, Guests take on the role of a droid repair technician operating near the Outer Rim. When a group of pirates attack and they crash on Batuu, they’ll discover that anyone in the galaxy can become a hero.

Then, Guests can continue their epic journey with Star Wars: Tales from the Galaxy’s Edge-Last Call, the recently-released expansion. This new add-on gives Guests the opportunity to expand their virtual reality adventures on the Outer Rim and experience more eras in the Star Wars galaxy.

For a limited time, this complimentary preview experience will be offered daily, Noon – 8 p.m., adjacent to Star Wars Trading Post in the Downtown Disney District. Reservations may be available. A Meta Quest staff member will assist Guests on-site with reserving a time to come back to participate or direct Guests to queue up outside the building, based on availability.

Guests must wear face coverings for this experience. For more information and to view important details, visit: http://disneytraveltradeinfo.com/dlr. Must be 13 years or older to experience. Subject to capacity availability. Subject to restrictions and change without notice.

“Star Wars: Tales from the Galaxy’s Edge – Last Call” is a virtual reality game coming to Oculus Quest on September 15, and a trailer is now available. The game is a sequel to last year’s “Star Wars: Tales from the Galaxy’s Edge,” which saw the return of Frank Oz as Yoda.

“In need of assistance, Dok-Ondar (Cory Rouse) hires you to recover an ancient artifact. Navigating new environments like Sardeevem Chasm and the Cavern of the Moons, watch out for pirates and new threats, solving puzzles, and using your droid repair tech tools to get yourself out of tight situations,” reads the official description for the upcoming game.

Based on the lands at both Disneyland and Disney’s Hollywood Studios, the games let you continue your Black Spire Outpost adventure long after you’ve returned from Batuu.
