DAVID GOYER WORKING ON ILMXLAB VR PROJECT AND TRIALS ON TATOOINE COMES HOME

Via StarWars.com:

ILMxLAB — Lucasfilm’s immersive entertainment division — made two major announcements during its panel today at Star Wars Celebration Europe. Get full details below on the reveals, including an exciting new collaboration and a release that will bring Star Wars home like never before.

David Goyer Joins Forces with ILMxLAB on New Project

At the end of the panel, it was announced that screenwriter David Goyer is now collaborating with ILMxLAB. The brand new story-based project, revealed in a short teaser, centers around a particularly iconic Star Wars character: Darth Vader. Just like VR is a new frontier, so sounds this venture. “When we looked at all the characters, places, and worlds in the Star Wars universe available to us, we asked ourselves, ‘What haven’t we seen before? Who are we curious about?” Goyer continued, “Darth Vader is the perfect ambassador to usher us into theStar Wars VR universe.”

ILMxLAB’s Acclaimed Trials on Tatooine Coming to Steam

Soon, you’ll get to turn your home into Tatooine — and become a lightsaber-wielding Jedi.

Also announced today at Star Wars Celebration Europe, ILMxLAB is bringing its critically (and fan) acclaimed VR experiment, Trials on Tatooine, to Steam VR for free. Starting Monday, July 18, anyone with an HTC Vive VR headset will be able to become a Jedi Padawan as you enjoy an experience never before available in your own home.

Thanks to VR technology and the creative talent at ILMxLAB, Trials on Tatooine transports fans into the Star Wars universe in ways previously not possible. As the Millennium Falcon descends for a landing and Artoo Detoo delivers a lightsaber that you use to deflect blaster bolts back at firing stormtroopers, you become fully immersed in the iconic desert planet.
