This month on The Star Wars Show, Matt Lieb teaches us how to throw a summer convention at home, Anthony hops into an X-wing cockpit to blow some stuff up in Star Wars: Squadrons, and Andi chats with Justin Simien, creator of Dear White People, about his love of Star Wars.
Star Wars: Tales from the Galaxy’s Edge will launch later this year on Oculus Quest. In Star Wars: Tales from the Galaxy’s Edge, you’ll play as a droid repair technician who crash lands on Batuu after a pirate attack. In typical Star Wars fashion, you’ll quickly get swept up into a grand adventure on the outskirts of Black Spire Outpost.
You can converse with Seezelslak (Bobby Moynihan) in his cantina and be transported to other places and times in the Star Wars galaxy through his legendary tales. Or, you can receive important missions to complete in the wilds of Batuu, encountering new and iconic characters along the way, like the pirate Tara Rashin (Debra Wilson).
