Within moments of stepping into the virtual world of Star Wars: Secrets of the Empire, Disney Springs Orlando’s location-based, hyper-reality experience from Lucasfilm, ILMxLAB, and The VOID, guests – assuming the role of Rebels disguised as Stormtroopers – find themselves seated in a stolen Imperial cargo ship traveling to Mustafar on a dangerous, intel-gathering mission.
While the prospect of infiltrating the volcanic planet as one of the Empire’s blaster-wielding baddies should immediately sell Star Wars fans on this highly immersive virtual reality adventure from a galaxy far, far away, VR enthusiasts might be more impressed by the seemingly simple act of taking a seat in the hijacked transport without fear of falling on their backsides. As anyone who’s fumbled through a virtual reality demo or attempted to set up a dedicated VR space in their home will attest, casually dropping into a chair while wearing a real world-obstructing headset isn’t a feat to be taken lightly.
