Star Wars: Trials on Tatooine is Industrial Light and Magic’s new virtual reality game

If there’s a bright center to the virtual reality universe, you’re about to get the chance to enter the experience that it’s farthest from.

Trials on Tatooine is one of the first commercial virtual reality experiences featuring the Star Wars universe. Lucasfilm’s venerable effects outfit Industrial Light and Magic built this game in its ILMxLab division with the hopes of bringing storytelling to new mediums. The software works with HTC and Valve’s Steam VR-powered HTC Vive, and it has players interacting with R2-D2, wielding a lightsaber, and avoiding stormtrooper fire (hint: stand still so you don’t accidentally wander into one of their stray shots).
