Even if you can't get to Disneyland's Batuu this year, a new StarWars VR experience will bring tales from the Galaxy’s Edge direct to your headsets in the year 2020

The title, slated to be released later in 2020, will feature both “iconic” and new characters from the Star Wars universe, according to ILMxLab. “Tales From the Galaxy’s Edge” will include multiple styles of gameplay and various difficulty settings, designed to appeal to both casual fans and hardcore Star Wars buffs.

The VR experience takes place in the time between “Star Wars: The Last Jedi” and “Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker” on the planet of Batuu. It’s set on the outskirts of Black Spire Outpost of Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge, the new land at Disneyland Resort in California and Walt Disney World Resort in Florida.

With the new virtual-reality experience, “our guests can immerse themselves in these stories both inside and outside our parks,” said Scott Trowbridge, Walt Disney Imagineering creative executive. Vicki Dobbs Beck, ILMxLab executive-in-charge, said the forthcoming VR 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, where you’re inside a world making consequential choices that drive your experience forward.

New Zealand discharges last coronavirus hospital patient after seeing zero new cases for 5 daysThe last coronavirus patient was discharged from the hospital in New Zealand, as the country saw five consecutive days without any new cases. It’s funny how a country where a leader took things seriously from the get-go has managed to contain it instead of relying denying its existence — saying it will just go away — blaming everyone else for it — saying without them millions could have died. Weird!! 🤷🏻‍♂️ So virtue signaling is the only cure for the Corona Virus... Great news! Why can’t we do that here in the US?
