The Star Wars fandom is in for another intergalactic VR experience with the franchise’s new game, Tales From the Galaxy’s Edge. Made in collaboration with Oculus Studios, this new Star Wars VR title will be helmed by Vader Immortal alumni ILMxLAB and is headed to the Quest by year’s end.

Back to a galaxy far, far away we go, though this time like never before.

As the title would suggest, this new narrative takes place in conjunction with Disneyland’s own virtual reality experience, Galaxy’s Edge, and is set primarily after the events of The Last Jedi. Players will be dropped into the shoes of a droid technician amid a devastating planet-side crash onto the planet of Batuu, whereupon a variety of incidences will lead a deadly pack of the Guavian Death Gang on your trail. Lending their voices to the game are Jedi: Fallen Order’s Debra Wilson, who will be portraying the death gang’s leader, Tara Rashin, and Saturday Night Live’s Bobby Moynihan as the Seezelslak, an azumel with an unending string of Star Wars-related memories.

As Jose Perez III, the previous supervisor for Vader Immortal and now-director on Tales From Galaxy’s Edge, says of Wilson’s character: “She is, at the core, just very tormented and has a lot of these really dark issues.” As a mirror to Anakin Skywalker, Wilson’s Tara Rashin seems like the perfect villain in this new Star Wars VR tale, layered upon gameplay very much reminiscent of the canceled Star Wars 1313 game. Only Tales From Galaxy’s Edge will have that much-needed injection of Disney-fication, implementing stellar art concepts, sound quality, and animated realism into the world of VR.

Last seen in The Force Awakens, albeit getting that oh-so-familiar runaround treatment from the affable Han Solo, the Guavian Death Gang is certainly not a band easily messed with. They did, after all, somehow survive that pack of Rathtars on the cargo ship before Han and the others could escape on the Millenium Falcon, so it’s clear they aren’t too easy to kill and stave off. Players will be up against some mighty foes and will, most assuredly, have to be ready for some Star Wars action if they plan on conquering these intense gang members.

Perez adds:

Now, it would seem, every Star Was adorer will want (or need, potentially) a VR headset - specifically the Oculus Quest - if they want to ever experience the entirety of this cosmic saga.

“We want to tell all the stories that you don’t get in Galaxy’s Edge. If you really want those exact experiences, if you want to build your lightsaber at Savi’s Workshop, you should go to the physical [park]. We don’t want to just replicate something that you can get in real life. We want to build on it and make something that’s new and unique.”
