Sign in to your ScreenRant account Star Wars viewers will soon be able to watch the space opera franchise like never before as Disney+ gives five films a major upgrade. Ever since Disney bought Lucasfilm, the Star Wars franchise has expanded on an enormous scale, from continuing the Skywalker Saga and releasing spinoffs like Rogue One to developing a slew of TV shows, including The Mandalorian, Andor, and Maul – Shadow Lord. Not every project has succeeded, but Star Wars is still moving ahead on both the big and small screens. Now Disney is introducing a brand-new way to watch Star Wars: in 3D. The House of Mouse announced that owners of the Meta Quest 3 and Meta Quest 3S virtual reality headsets can now watch five of the movies in an immersive 3D virtual reality environment on Disney+. The Force Awakens, The Last Jedi, The Rise of Skywalker, Rogue One, and The Mandalorian and Grogu are reportedly available to watch in 3D, meaning all but one of the Disney-era films are included. Disney is also adding Marvel Studios and Pixar films, as well as some Hulu content on Disney+, to the Meta Quest platform. Dolby Vision and Dolby Atmos are available on Meta Quest for premium subscribers. As part of this experience, Meta Quest users can be fully immersed in the movie's environment, like Tatooine for Star Wars, Avengers Tower for the Marvel Cinematic Universe films, the Scare Floor for Monsters, Inc., and more. Then in spring 2027, these movies (including IMAX Enhanced versions) will also be available on the upcoming Meta VR Glasses. Disney's acquisition of Lucasfilm proved to be a lucrative business decision. The three Star Wars sequels collectively grossed $4.48 billion at the box office. The first spinoff film, Rogue One, also performed exceptionally well, earning more than $1 billion. Solo and The Mandalorian and Grogu didn't fare nearly as well, though. The Han Solo spinoff, plagued by creative differences, a shakeup in the director's chair, and extensive reshoots, didn't even surpass $400,000, while The Mandalorian movie had a similar box office outcome. As the big-screen wing of the franchise experiences fatigue and diminishing returns, the TV side has largely flourished with shows like The Mandalorian and Andor, the latter of which earned a nearly perfect 96% critic scoreon Rotten Tomatoes and won five Emmy Awards. Meanwhile, Ahsoka season 2 and Maul – Shadow Lord season 2 are in the works. Disney will attempt to get the Star Wars movies back on track next May with the release of Shawn Levy's Star Wars: Starfighter with Ryan Gosling, as well as a Rey-centered film that's in development. Until then, fans of the long-running, iconic franchise can watch several existing movies in an immersive 3D experience with Meta Quest.
