Star Wars VR for Google Cardboard hits iOS, Android

“But he’s still – he’s still the same guy”, Ford said in a television show. Verizon has teamed up with the folks at Disney and Google for their Star Wars Google Cardboard units, and they’re pretty damned cool if you’re down with the Force.

“I’d rather be asking questions than feel like they’ve been answered for me”, he says, harkening back to his classic TED talk and the idea of the mystery box.

You don’t need a button or any kind of controller; the first segment is a watch-only affair, and when it’s done you can replay it or exit by directing your “gaze pointer” at the appropriate onscreen option. The great news is that they’re completely free, regardless if you’re a Verizon subscriber, however they’re limited to just 200,000 units nationwide.

The VR viewers are available starting today only at select Verizon retail stores.

So, what will the content actually be?

Star Wars: The Force Awakens, the seventh film in the sci-fi series, sold more than 200,000 pre-sale cinema tickets within the first 24 hours of release – more than any other film, including James Bond adventure Spectre.

The hotly-anticipated Star Wars VR experience for Google Cardboard headsets can now be downloaded for iOS and Android devices.

As rumors about the “Star Wars: The Force Awakens” storyline continue to develop, lead actor Mark Hamill, who takes on the original trilogy’s hero Luke Skywalker, shared his sentiments about the possibilities for his character.

And in case you needed reminding, those injuries were severe. Scheduled for release May 25, 2018, the standalone film has already looked at over 2,500 young male actors to play the younger version of Harrison Ford’s iconic character according to The Hollywood Reporter.

Spoiler alert for shocking violence, because little Han loses both his leg and his trousers in the ordeal.
