I can sit here and type what the heck this new Star Wars 360-degree video experience for THE FORCE AWAKENS is but that does it no justice at all. You really have to watch the video below to see for yourself. If you click on the video while it's playing, you can drag your vantage point 360-degrees while traversing on the planet Jakku.
Speed across the Jakku desert from Star Wars: The Force Awakens with this immersive 360 experience created exclusively for Facebook.
