The Virtual reality startup Magic Leap has partnered with Lucasfilm‘s ILMxLAB to record “Lost Droids,” an augmented and mixed reality Star Wars experience test that brings R2-D2 and C-3PO into someone’s actual living room.

Magic Leap’s immersive experience features C-3PO walking over and asking to have a word with you an arrangement with Jabba the Hutt not being settled. R2-D2 then projects a hologram across a coffee table in the room that shows stormtroopers and TIE fighters chasing after the Millennium Falcon. C-3PO ends with saying “How did we get into this mess?,” after the Falcon is seen disappearing into hysperspace.
