Star Wars Celebration has a ton of exciting guests scheduled to make an appearance and now another will be joining their ranks, Bobby Moynihan. Moynihan voices Seezelslak the Cantina owner in the virtual reality game Star Wars: Tales From The Galaxy’s Edge. The game gives fans a chance to experience an immersive adventure on the planet Batuu on the outskirts of the Black Spire Outpost. For fans of the Disney Parks, this may sound familiar, Batuu’s Black Spire Outpost is Disneyland and Walt Disney World’s immersive Star Wars Land that allows fans to step into the world of Star Wars.
On May 27 at Star Wars Celebration Bobby Moynihan will join the creatives behind Star Wars: Tales From The Galaxy’s Edge to give audiences a peek behind the curtain into how this immersive virtual reality game was made during the exciting panel, Go Beyond the Spires in Virtual Reality: Making of ILMxLAB’s Tales from the Galaxy’s Edge.
