Facebook has released an awesome new Star Wars: Episode VII – The Force Awakens teaser video that lets you virtually speed across Jakku. You can even click and drag to look around the scene in 360 degrees.

The video was made by the Industrial Light & Magic’s Experience Lab, or ILM x LAB. This is a newly established division of the acclaimed effects studio that specializes in making “immersive entertainment” like this video. The group is also working on a virtual reality Star Wars experience.

The Jakku desert planet is the focus of Star Wars Battlefront‘s upcoming Battle of Jakku DLC. This expansion, which will be free for all players, is set 29 years before the events of The Force Awakens.

The Force Awakens opens in theaters on December 18. In other recent news about the movie, the actress behind the new villain, Captain Phasma, has talked about the challenges of playing her.
