All your Jedi dreams just came true at D23 with the unveiling of Star Wars: Jedi Challenges, an augmented reality game that will let you train to perfect your lightsaber skills.

Not much was revealed in terms of technical details, but it appears to be lightweight, visually well designed, and slips on and off fairly easily.
Unlike the HoloLens, the Disney AR headset uses your smartphone (which slides into a cradle on the device) as the driver of the software.

Even less was unveiled regarding when that might come to Star Warsfans -- the sequence included what looked like an AR strategy game as well -- but footage of the game in use (above) offers a promising hint that it won't be long.
A release date for Star Wars: Jedi Challengeswasn't announced, but the launch site promises that it's coming to Best Buy soon.
