Star Wars-themed Cardboard sets being offered by Google for free (Update)
August 10, 2025
Update:Less than 5 minutes after publishing this, Google ran out of stock. Sorry guys!
Update 2 (3PM CST):Keep checking and refreshing. There are reports that stock is slowly returning in small number, so with a little patience, you might still have the chance to snag one. I was even able to snag one myself!
On the downside, the demand for these viewers is likely very hot and that’s probably why every time I (and a few fellow Android Authority team members) have encountered errors when attempting to check out. Some of the luckier guys at AA managed to make it through okay though, so your mileage may vary.
As for what the Stars Wars-edition Cardboard does? Aside from having a nice Star Wars themed coat of paint thrown on, this is just an ordinary Google Cardboard VR kit that utilizes your phone as the brains. That means any Google Play app designed for cardboard will work with this one, including Google’s new Star wars VR experiences, such as the official Star Wars app and the “Awaken the Force Within”.
