Star Wars: Jedi Challenges

About

Star Wars: Jedi Challenges is an augmented reality fighting game developed by Lenovo in collaboration with Disney, released in 2017 for Android and iOS. The experience requires dedicated hardware — the Lenovo Mirage AR headset, a lightsaber controller, and a tracking beacon — which work together with a paired smartphone to project gameplay into the player's physical environment. A narrative guide called the Archivist leads players through a series of trials oriented around Jedi training, drawing on the lore of the holocron as a framing device. The trials span both combat encounters and mental challenges, structured as a progression toward Jedi mastery. The combination of motion-based lightsaber controls and augmented reality overlays places the game firmly in the category of hardware-dependent AR experiences rather than conventional mobile titles.
