UPDATE:
I made the trip to Vegas.

I’ve experimented with VR a few times now and this was above and beyond the most immersive experience I’ve ever had in a virtual setting. When traversing on a moving platform you feel like you could lose your balance and tumble into the lava below. The heat from which you can feel wash over you when you’re outside on Mustafar. Should a stray blaster bolt find its mark you can feel its impact on your body. Every wall, seat and interface is real and can be interacted with. The tie-in elements from Rogue One were great. Would definitely do it again and now I’m hyped that after just coming back from my trip they announced Vader Immortal which looks like it ties into the story from Secrets. What perfect timing! My only regret is that I didn’t also do the Ghostbusters experience while I was there as well.
