A virtual reality Star Wars adventure

Lucasfilm's virtual reality studio, ILMxLAB, is pioneering a new way of telling stories.

The Star Wars hyper-reality experience, Secrets of the Empire, sees fans create their own adventure as rebels on Mustafar - Darth Vader's molten lava home planet.

And together with film director Alejandro I帽谩rritu, they have capitalised on the power of VR to generate empathy in an emotional story on illegal immigrants.
