Canceled Star Wars VR Would Have Let Fans Pilot An X-Wing

There was once a Star Wars VR simulator in development that used Unreal Engine 4 and Oculus Rift technology to put fans in pilot seat of X-Wings, speeder bikes, and more. That project was being developed by HammerheadVR. Unfortunately, Lucasfilm put an end to the project with a cease and desist letter, but a video of the glorious virtual galaxy far, far away still exists.

Check out what could have been – minus an audio track, due to the copyright claim – in the video below.

Lucasfilm and Industrial Light & Magic are reportedly working on their own virtual Star Wars experience, so we'll just have to wait and see what the official take on the idea looks like.
