Is This the VR Headset Star Wars Fans Are Looking For?
If you love Star Wars, at some point you've probably played with a toy lightsaber, perhaps even making the trademark sounds of the Jedi weapon. You may also have wielded one in video games set inside the film's universe. But neither experience makes it feel like you're actually Luke Skywalker or Darth Vader.
A new virtual reality game from Lenovo (NASDAQOTH: LNVGY) seeks to change that. Star Wars: Jedi Challenges costs $199.99 and comes with a VR headset, a tracking device, and a lightsaber that looks exactly like the one that started as Anakin Skywalker's, later became Luke's, and is now in the hands of Rey.
Jedi Challenges is an app that works on some iOS and Android phones (most, but not all of the higher-end ones). It features three games, including the version of chess that Chewbacca plays on the Millennium Falcon. Of course, the game the device will be judged by is the one in which the player wields a lightsaber to take on everything from battle droids to Sith lords.
