So, I guess C3PO and R2D2 are also as seen through Magic Leap? They're quite opaque. It would indeed be magic if you could see yourself or what's behind you, in the chrome map on their shiny surfaces.

Aside from them, the rest looks more plausible. I can't quite decide whether it's cheating or just clever to show a hologram that's intentionally designed to look like a crappy hologram.

I think a better movie tie-in would've been Ghost Busters!
