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 IΓ±Γ΅rritu, they have capitalised on the power of VR to generate empathy in an emotional story on illegal immigrants.
