Star Wars: Droid Repair Bay turns you into a VR mechanic for BB-8

Lucasfilm is bringing another tiny piece of the Star Wars universe into virtual reality with the latest experience from its experimental ILMxLab technology group. Star Wars: Droid Repair Bay puts you in the role of a mechanic for the Resistance against the New Order from The Force Awakens. Droid Repair Bay works with HTC Vive and Samsung Gear VR, but it is launching first as part of a promotional campaign with car manufacturer Nissan. People who visit certain Nissan dealerships in North America will have a chance to try it out soon, according to Lucasfilm.

In Star Wars: Droid Repair Bay, you work on General Leia’s ship. Using motion controllers, you must find ways to fix up BB-8 and other similar-looking droids. Lucasfilm is promising to introduce new astromechs that have personalities distinct from R2-D2 or BB-8.
