Star Wars: Tales from the Galaxy's Edge is a virtual reality first-person shooter game originally released on November 19, 2020 for the Oculus Quest systems.[2] The graphics were designed by ILMxLab.

The game is a virtual reality experience inspired by Star Wars: Galaxy's Edge (known in canon as the Black Spire spaceport or Black Spire Outpost on the planet Batuu) land at Disneyland Park and Disney's Hollywood Studios.

Gameplay[edit]

Players crash land on Batuu after encountering the Guavian Death Gang led by the intimidating Tara Rashin.[3] In between blaster fire, players can talk to bartender Seezelslak and find themselves in the middle of his stories that span different eras of the Star Wars timeline.[4]

The next installment, subtitled Last Call, features treasure dealer Dok-Ondar (first mentioned in Solo: A Star Wars Story) who sends players on new adventures exploring the darkest parts of Black Spire Outpost.[5]

Reception[edit]

Star Wars: Tales from the Galaxy's Edge received mostly positive reviews, with some critics disliking the game's short length.[6] It has a score of 74 on OpenCritic.[7] Destructoid's Chris Carter enjoyed the shooting mechanics, and described it as "still more captivating than the recent trilogy."[8]

On September 15, 2021, the downloadable content Last Call was released. Many reviewers said the release rounded out the initial game. AndroidCentral gave it a 4.5 star rating out of 5.[9] Geeks of Color called it "the ultimate playground for Star Wars fans."[10] TechRadar claimed that with the DLC release the title "has firmly cemented its place as one of the best Star Wars games out there."[11]
