"Jedi Challenges" RUINED Christmas
Posted .
This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.
We bought this for Christmas for our son's big gift. Such a disappointment for our 12 yr old Star Wars fan! All day long we tried using a recently updated iphone 7plus (labeled approved), but it would get hung up on connecting the headset, telling us to: "Please wait- Searching for headset..." We followed the app installation instructions exactly in specified order. After trying our Samsung Galaxy J7, and one other (we knew those weren't approved), but still same hangup error. We figured we got bad hardware??? We immediately exchanged it this morning Dec 26, at our 12 yr olds plea, but once again are having the same exact problem with the second set. We have called Lenovo, but they just sent us to a website: help.starwars.com. The customer service and website are useless- and did not address our problem. We are sad and frustrated, and feel this should not have made it on the market. Now searching for a new gift idea. No more Lenovo for us.

Thank you for your feedback. We are very sorry to hear that you are having problems setting up the Star Wars: Jedi Challenges.There can be system bug in the older Apple IOS. Please make sure you are running IOS 11.1 or a later version. Sometimes when using an older IOS the wait time for the connection to the headset can take 30 seconds or more. Please check your phone's Bluetooth setting to make sure it is on.( tap settings, select Bluetooth , tap the switch to ensure it is on ( green). Also make sure the location feature on the phone is turned on too .(tap settings, select location , tap the switch to ensure it is on ( green). Please make sure that the headset is powered up and the cable connected .Please make sure that the compatible phone is out of the headset when setting the system up for the first time. Then, when prompted insert the phone into the tray and then into the headset. It is very important when setting up the system for the first time to use the "app" that is provided to guide you through the entire set up process. This insures that the whole system: headset, phone, tracking beacon and Lightsaber controller, will be synced correctly. If this does not If this does not work please contact our support team for a detailed troubleshooting guidance @ : support.lenovo.com/jedichallenges

Bought it as a gift for my son. He loves it. He wanted a lightsaber , one of the ones that just lights up and you can just look at they were like $150 . For $99 got this and you can actually use it. Now all I need is one for myself so we can battle each other...

I was WICKED excited when i got this and thinking that i have one of the newest phones on the market i had nothing to worry about. I was WAY wrong and should of done my homework. You need an APP on your phone and your phone goes in a tray in the helmet. The NOTE 8 is to big and will not work. I tried for hours to rig it so it would work but nope. Returned it the next morning. Will DEFINITELY buy again if they make it so the NOTE 8 works. The lightsaber in this was AMAZING THOUGH so 3 stars for that.

Extremely fun item and adults will love it as much as the kids. A bit difficult at the start as very few instructions are included so we just went online and looked them up. Buttons on the side of the mask are awkward to find, but the games’ details are awesome and made us forget the problems we had getting started.

Very cool VR game. Ran it a few times with my iPhone X. Games is awesome, however, set up kind of stinks. Set up documentation is lacking a bit. Walk through the app BEFORE you put the phone in the headset!!!! Even go past the title screen. Also, be very careful putting the phone in adapter, first time I did my Zagg screen protector got caught on the one metal slide adjuster and ripped/cracked the protector (had to replace). Make sure the metal slides are back and also bend the plastic open a little more to give it space so you don’t caught on that dang thing each time. Other note is that the phone gets very hot, after about 45 mins of gameplay my phone showed the overheat warning so we were forced to stop. Phone was very hot when I took it out. If you can get by these issues, game is intense!! Would still recommend to any SW fan of any age!

Bought for my daughter for a christmas gift, as she is a star wars nut. She enjoys playing it, but what you can do is fairly limited. If you enjoy star wars it us fun, but feel that the length of time you will use will be short-mid term.

Thank you for your feedback. The Star Wars: Jedi Challenges offers one storyline taking the player through more than 30 challenges across three types of experiences. There are additional games that are available and they are a free download through the game app: New Lightsaber Duels ,New Planet for Strategic Combat, New Content in Assault mode and Introduction of Porgs – Players will be rewarded with fan-favorite porgs in augmented reality. And a “Dual Player Mode” that allows you to battle your friends. (You would need two sets for this)

I will start with the negative - Sales person told us that my Galaxy Note9 was compatible even though the box didn't list my phone...they were wrong, so after spending a lot of time trying to load everything to use my phone finally found it was not going to work. Luckily my wife has the Galaxy S9, which although not listed on the box, is listed on the website as compatible. After a great deal of frustration, and talking to a useless tech support person, I have it workings. now, the positive...it is awesome. The graphics are so real, the audio is great, the many different types of battles you can do are beyond fun, and many turn out to be a great work out as well. Overall, I rate the fun and game a 5 but overall a 4 due to all the difficulties.
