11 Way to Experience ‘Star Wars’ on Meta Quest This May the Fourth

This May the Fourth is a great time to step inside the Star Wars galaxy and experience the mythology from a new perspective. On Meta Quest, you’ll find a variety of experiences that can transport you to a galaxy far, far away, and each offers new ways to immerse yourself in the vast world of Star Wars, its characters, and its history.

In Vader Immortal, you play a smuggler working near the volcanic planet of Mustafar, before suddenly finding yourself uncovering an ancient mystery at the command of the Dark Lord of the Sith. Star Wars: Tales from the Galaxy’s Edge takes you to the Outer Rim world of Batuu as a droid repair technician, whose life is changed forever when pirates attack. And in Star Wars: Beyond Victory – A Mixed Reality Playset, you’ll become a podracer under the mentorship of Sebulba, and find more than just other racers to contend with.

Across Vader Immortal, Tales from the Galaxy’s Edge, and Star Wars: Beyond Victory – A Mixed Reality Playset, here are 11 Star Wars experiences that tap into the deeper fabric of the galaxy we all love.

1. Stand in the Shadow of the Dark Side on Mustafar

In Vader Immortal, take a moment to warm your hands by the fires of Mustafar, a planet defined by rage and the scars of Anakin Skywalker’s fall. The atmosphere itself tells a story, placing you inside the emotional aftermath of one of the saga’s most tragic transformations.

2. Decode Ancient Lessons

Hidden throughout Vader Immortal are echoes of ancient knowledge that contrast sharply with Vader’s darkness. By interacting with relics and visions, you piece together fragments of the galaxy’s history, offering a rare look at how these teachings endure even in the shadow of the Empire.

3. Battle a Darkghast! 

Face off against one of Mustafar’s most fearsome creatures, a darkghast, in Vader Immortal. Towering and nightmarish, this predator looms out of the lava-lit ruins with its jagged mandibles snapping as its multiple arms strike in rapid succession. The experience of encountering a darkghast provides a pulse-pounding test of reflexes and courage.

4. Channel Force Lightning in the Dojo

Force lightning is one of the clearest manifestations of the dark side’s corrupting power. Earning it in the dojo of Vader Immortal (by achieving 50 consecutive kills) offers a glimpse into abilities typically reserved for Sith Lords, highlighting the consuming and destructive nature of unchecked power.

5. Experience the Cold Precision of IG-88

Playing as IG-88 in Tales from the Galaxy’s Edge offers a rare look into the mindset of an assassin droid. IG-88 is one of the galaxy's most feared assassin droids, thanks to his unique combination of immediate self-awareness, advanced weaponry, and high intellect.

6. Live a Life of Adventure on the Edge of the Galaxy

Like Tatooine or Nar Shaddaa, Batuu of Tales from the Galaxy’s Edge is a haven for smugglers, bounty hunters and the more…criminally-inclined. Engage with characters operating in the galaxy's gray areas where every job feels like a page from its underworld history.

7. Jam Out to Your Own Songs on the Chromarimba

The chromarimba is unquestionably the most popular musical instrument on Batuu. Music in Star Wars has often reflected local identity and what better way to leave a mark than to share your own tunes with the regulars in Seezelslak's Cantina in Tales from the Galaxy’s Edge.

8. Meet Dok-Ondar, Keeper of the Galaxy's Rarest Relics

Dok-Ondar is part shopkeeper, part gatekeeper of history. His collection spans Sith artifacts, Jedi relics and ancient curiosities each with a story hinting at forgotten conflicts and hidden corners of the galaxy’s past. Travel deeper into the shadowy world behind his prized collection as he enlists you for a job in Tales from the Galaxy’s Edge - Last Call.

9. See Another Side of Sebulba, Decades After his Racing Days

Seeing Sebulba again in Star Wars: Beyond Victory – A Mixed Reality Playset, 30 years after The Phantom Menace, offers a rare look at how characters evolve beyond their original stories. Is Sebulba still the same ruthless podracer or have all these years in the Outer Rim changed him?

10. Build Your Own ‘Star Wars’ Moments in Playset Mode

In Star Wars: Beyond Victory – A Mixed Reality Playset, creating your own scenes taps into the sandbox spirit of the galaxy. By arranging characters and environments you’re effectively crafting your own “what if” scenarios and harnessing the imagination that makes Star Wars so special. 

11. Tinker with your Pod in the Garage

While courage and keen reflexes are crucial to winning podraces, maintenance of your craft is just as important. Repair scratches, swap parts, and feel the satisfaction of getting your ride ready for what comes next in Star Wars: Beyond Victory – A Mixed Reality Playset.

This May the Fourth, go beyond the expected. These experiences will take you through all walks of the Star Wars galaxy, from its ancient traditions to its overlooked corners.

May the Force be with you.
