Marshawn Lynch has established himself as one of the most genuine personalities in pop culture, gaining more and more camera time despite becoming popular outside of football because of his disdain for talking to media. His charm has led to him getting his own Bleacher Report-helmed show called No Script and, in the latest episode, Lynch gets introduced to Star Wars in virtual reality.

During the second episode of No Script, Star Wars dominated the second half of the 15-minute show. Much to the viewer's delight, Lynch applied his signature humor in Oakland vernacular to a couple voice-overs of Darth Vader is pivotal movie scenes. Before that, though, Marshawn dons an HTC Vive and gets a chance to check out Trials on Tatooine.

Created by Industrial Light and Magic, the visual effects studio known for the iconic effects in the Star Wars films, Trials has players fix the Millennium Falcon and defend RS-D2 from stormtroopers with a lightsaber. ILMxLAB also collaborated recently with location-based VR company The Void for an experienced called Secrets of the Empire where you and up to three friends can experience virtual reality at its most immersive in Disney locations in Florida and California. Watch the No Script episode above and witness Lynch's absolute joy when playing VR.
