There are several different vests for varying sizes of Rebels so the attraction can accommodate larger folks and small children. The vest felt secure on my body and sat comfortably over my clothing and didn’t shift around when I moved. You suit up with a vest and helmet that attendants help you put on. Get your mission briefing with three other Rebel soldiers (other players) and then customize your soldier (pick what color your shoulders are) and don your gear. When you first arrive at The Void you enter some information about yourself and print out a unique wristband that will link your character and headset to you. The experience is identical across all three locations. The experience is now open to the public at The Void’s locations at Disney Springs in Orlando, FL, Downtown Disney District in Anaheim, CA, and Westfield London Mall in London, UK. It uses virtual reality headsets, haptic feedback vests, real props, environmental haptics, and physical space to immerse guests in the world of Star Wars. The VOID’s Star Wars: Secrets of the Empire is a “hyper reality” VR attraction that places you inside the Star Wars universe.

I recently had the opportunity to do just that. If someone would have told that little kid that he would one day be able to step into the shoes of a rebel soldier and help the Rebellion steal Empire secrets, he probably wouldn’t have been able to sleep for around 4-6 days. I would aim my plastic yellow gun at the TV and make blaster noises anytime there were Stormtroopers on the screen and run around my living room ducking behind pillows and sofa cushions. Watching Luke skywalker and Han Solo fight off the Empire in the original trilogy would work me into a frenzy.
