In the traditional way of storytelling, you meet a character in their status quo. In Star Wars Galactic Starcruisers, everyone who are arrives in that terminal are all coming from the same home planet. And they're going to go be transported into the Starcruiser together. It doesn't matter what your affiliation or fandom or knowledge of Star Wars, it does not matter. What you're going to experience is likens to that. A lot of magic comes in interacting with strangers, with people that you don't know,. You're creating a community in the context of that world.
With immersive experiences becoming more and more popular, it's important to ask: what makes an experience not just entertaining, but transformative? Margaret Kerrison, former Disney Imagineer and multi-award winning writer for immersive experiences, shares her answer to that question and more from her new book, Immersive Storytelling for Real and Imagined Worlds: A Writer’s Guide.
