A few years ago , the team at ILMxLAB teased that it was bringing the Dark Lord of the Sith to virtual realism . Now , we ’ve got our first look at it in action , and well , it ’s more like Vader is bring you to him .
Announced todayas establish on Oculus Quest , Facebook’snewly announced$400 “ standalone ” VR headset , Vader Immortal : A Star Wars VR Series will be a three - part occasional experience in collaboration with author David S. Goyer .
Set between Revenge of the Sith and A New Hope , the series frame instrumentalist as an strange hero ( perhaps even a Jedi , judging by the lightsaber clash beleaguer at the very terminal of the drone ) pulled out of hyperspace above the lava planet Mustafar . More specifically , aboveDarth Vader ’s minatory rook … and the Dark Lord has a intellect for doing so .
Just what that reason is remains to be seen , but between the interrogation droid and occult half - cyborg officeholder flanking Vader , it ’s probably not good !
The first episode of Vader Immortal is set to hit the Oculus Quest in 2019 .
