You’ll begin your story as a droid repair technician who gets swept up into a grand adventure when you crash land on the planet Batuu following an attack by the Guavian Death Gang. This kicks off a series of extraordinary events, proving that anyone in the galaxy can become a hero.
As you live out your own unforgettable Star Wars adventure, you will be joined by fan-favorite characters like R2-D2, C-3PO (Anthony Daniels), Jedi Master Yoda (Frank Oz), and Hondo Ohnaka (Jim Cummings). You’ll also come face-to-face with new characters like the boisterous barkeep Seezelslak (Bobby Moynihan), treasure hunter Lens Kamo (Karla Crome), and Guavian Death Gang leader Tara Rashin (Debra Wilson).
In the experience, you’ll get to spend a lot of time at Seezelslak’s Cantina with the Azumel bartender, who will take you to other places and times in the Star Wars galaxy through his legendary Tales. Through him, you’ll get to live out the story of the Padawan-turned-Jedi Ady Sun’Zee (Ellie Araiza) in “The Temple of Darkness” and “The Sacred Garden.” And, if you’ve ever wondered what it would be like to be a droid, your questions will be answered when you take on a peculiar bounty as the class four assassin droid IG-88 (Rhys Darby) in “The Bounty of Boggs Triff.”
