ILMxLAB is bringing it’s next VR experience, Star Wars: Tales from the Galaxy’s Edge, exclusively to Quest on November 19th. Now the studio has given us another look at a standalone story in the game that focuses on the exploits of none other than Master Yoda himself.

Dubbed ‘Temple of Darkness’, the story in Tales from the Galaxy’s Edge is set “hundreds of years before the events of Star Wars: The Phantom Menace,” the studio says in an Oculus blog post.

In the Quest-exclusive experience, you take on the role of a droid repair technician who’s crash landed on Batuu as a result of a pirate attack. Transported by the many tales woven by the bartender Seezelslak (played by SNL’s Bobby Moynihan), you step into the role of Jedi Padawan Ady Sun’Zee (voiced by Ellie Araiza) during the High Republic era to work alongside Master Yoda. Yes, that’s actually the original series voice actor and puppeteer Frank Oz you’re hearing in the trailer.

Like all good Padawans, you must confront the darkness that lies within—both literally inside the temple and yourself.

Star Wars: Tales from the Galaxy’s Edge is headed to the Oculus Store for Quest on November 19th. If you haven’t checked out the official trailer, you can see that here.

    Exclusive games to some platforms are a scandal. I am orderting HP Reverb G2 and will not buy Quest 2 to play this game.

  • Wait, I thought I saw C3P0 in one of the previous clips, but it says it’s set hundreds of years before the events of The Phantom Menace, which C3P0 was just getting built in?

    Or was I just imagining that?

      With the dumbasses in charge of the Star Wars saga today (cf episode 8, solo), I wouldn’t be surprised you are completely right.

      It says you are experiencing many different stories told by the bartender so they can be from various time periods…seems like the main story is then divided into mini stories
