What They’re Saying:
- Jose Perez III (Director of Star Wars: Beyond Victory - A Mixed Reality Playset): “We’re beyond excited to share an early look at this new experience with the incredible Star Wars community at Star Wars Celebration this year. Our goal at ILM has always been to find new and exciting ways for players to experience Star Wars stories. Focusing on mixed reality has opened several fascinating doors from an immersion standpoint and allows us to literally bring a galaxy far, far away right into the comfort of players’ homes in a way that’s unlike anything we’ve done."
