Players take on the role of a droid repair technician whose ship is attacked by pirates, forcing them to land on Batuu.

Developed by ILMxLAB, Star Wars: Tales from the Galaxy's Edge aims to provide a different fully immersive experience without requiring a trip to California or Florida. Set in the outskirts of the Outpost, Tales from Galaxy's Edge's adventures are framed as stories being told at a cantina and span many eras within the Star Wars cannon.
"Fans will be able to explore the wilds of Batuu and live out a lighthearted Star Wars experience that will continue to evolve over time," Star Wars: Tales from the Galaxy's Edge director Jose Perez III said in a post on ILMxLAB's website. "There's something really special about standing face to face with iconic characters like C-3PO and Yoda, and we can't wait for our fans to step into Star Wars: Tales from the Galaxy's Edge this holiday season."
