Five Star Wars Movies Are Now Streaming in 3D on Disney+ for Meta Quest
Finally, a way to sit in Luke's landspeeder without getting sand everywhere.
Star Wars fans with a VR headset just got a new way to watch. Five Star Wars movies are now available in 3D through the Disney+ app on Meta Quest 3 and Quest 3S headsets, according to Screen Rant. The list includes Rogue One and The Mandalorian and Grogu.
The update rolled out this week as part of a bigger Disney+ refresh on Meta's headsets. Engadget reports that the app now has more than 60 movies in 3D, with Dolby Vision and Dolby Atmos support, all included with a Disney+ subscription.
Which Star Wars movies are in 3D on Disney+?
The five Star Wars movies are The Force Awakens, The Last Jedi, The Rise of Skywalker, Rogue One and The Mandalorian and Grogu. That covers every Disney-era Star Wars movie except Solo: A Star Wars Story, and none of the original or prequel trilogy movies are part of this first batch.
The Mandalorian and Grogu only arrived on Disney+ in September, so this is also one of the first chances to watch the newest Star Wars movie in 3D at home. For anyone who missed the theatrical 3D showings, this is the closest experience available without buying a ticket.
Can you watch from Tatooine?
Yes. The Disney+ app on Quest includes themed viewing spaces, and one of them is Tatooine. Bespin Bulletin says it puts you in Luke's landspeeder with Mos Eisley on either side, which is about as close to a Tatooine vacation as anyone should want. Other spaces include the Scare Floor from Monsters, Inc. and Avengers Tower.
Availability can still depend on your region and plan, so it's worth checking the app before you clear your evening.
What comes next for Disney+ in VR?
Engadget says Meta's upcoming VR glasses, due in spring 2027, will support IMAX Enhanced movies on Disney+. Screen Rant adds that the Star Wars movies in 3D are expected to come to those glasses as well. Disney is also bringing more Marvel Studios and Pixar movies, plus some Hulu content, to the Quest app, so the 3D library should keep growing over the next few months.

My read is that Rogue One is the one to try first. The Scarif battle was made for a big screen, and watching the AT-ACTs march through those beaches in 3D sounds like exactly the right kind of overkill. It's a little strange that the original trilogy isn't here yet, though, especially with Star Wars turning 50 next year. (We'd also like a Death Star trench run environment, Disney.)
