Billed as a "hyper-reality" experience by Disney, Star Wars: Secrets of the Empire will send visitors in groups of four to play undercover as Stormtroopers, charged with capturing Imperial intelligence vital to the rebellion's survival. (That seems to put the experience somewhere around the "Rogue One" phase of the Star Wars timeline.) Here's the teaser trailer:
The experience — presented by interactive attractions operator The VOID along with Lucasfilm and its immersive entertainment division ILMxLAB — will open in Disney Springs at the Walt Disney World Resort in Florida on December 16 and in Downtown Disney at the Disneyland Resort in Anaheim on January 5, 2018. That means that no park admission will be required in addition to the $29.95 per person experience tickets, which are available via TheVOID.com.

The opening day for this experience marked the final day of our vacation so we were able to snag a morning reservation. The time slot I initially picked had been filled by the time I finished registering and I see the first day appears to be half-filled already.

I hope they have another IP to tap once Galaxy's Edge opens in 2019, because this is going to seem lame if the Star Wars lands are as detailed and intricate as promised.
