Astro-Mechanic for the Resistance. the new promotional gimmick, appropriately titled, Star Wars: Droid Repair Bay sounds about as much fun as sitting through a marathon session of the Galactic senate, but Nissan is hoping that it will help draw crowds to their shops and into brand new cars.

Participants take on an important role: astromech technician aboard General Leia’s ship. Participants will be completely enveloped in VR, using their own movements to interact with and repair BB-8 and his droid friends.
