New mission coming to Star Tours - The Adventure Continues

[Chet Dakota]

For TLJ, they announced the new sequences on Oct 18 prior to the December release and added the new sequences to the ride on Nov 17. So, if they are going to do it, it would seem that they would announce it soon. I haven’t seen anything here from the insiders.

I do believe certain cabins are out of rotation to program an update but please do not quote me on that

It's highly likely that the actors already had multiple theme park attraction appearances in their contracts for the trilogy. We got Finn in the TFA sequence, Poe and Hux in the TLJ sequence. Could be Rey and Kylo in the TROS sequence.

It would be cool if the scene would be rey and kylo fighting on the remains of the 2nd death star on endor.

Well, because they updated it for both Force Awakens and Last Jedi, so they’ve established a pattern for updating it with the episodic movies.

Yes, but the last iteration of ST has them land on Batuu, saying their adventures will continue (i.e. Galaxy's Edge).

I get what you mean. They very well could view Rise of the Resistance as the next *update*, what with every major character rumored to appear in some form. However, a new planet in the Jakku slot would bring that sense of “Where are we going?” back that the revamp introduced so nicely. As it stands, if you get Kylo instead of Vader, you know exactly what the rest of the ride is gonna be.

Personally, I wouldn’t mind them pulling the sequel segments entirely once Rise is up and running, as the planets we currently see could easily be part of a new mission for Falcon in the near future. Kick Olaf out and move the Vader meet and greet to that space across from Jedi Training, and you’ve got a small OT-centric area to go along with Galaxy’s Edge until Star Tours becomes one with the Force.

If anyone at Disney reads this...."keep it randomized!!"

Expect new destinations.

New destinations, as in more than one?

Expect new destinations.

1. Is the plan still to have an era choice?
2. Is the further plan still to retheme the ride?

 

[HauntedPirate]

They don't want people choosing between OT/PT and ST. The lines for the former would speak volumes about the latter. Disney wants people to be equally exposed to all of the Star Wars franchise.

Wow that's a fantastic idea!

I hate to say it, but Star Tours' time has come.......it has turned a little old-hat. The original was the better version and 2.0 has become a commercial.

Well Disney needs to put it's version of Star Wars back in it's preverbial pants because I don't wana be exposed to it.

Never heard of that one and debatable now.

Although I have seen each 2.0 sequence dozens of times, the randomness of the ride is still fun, as are the sequence destinations themselves. I did, however, enjoy the Trench Run from 1.0, and bringing that back in some form would be cool. Sharing the screen with OT X-Wings screamed Star Wars.

I believe there was talk on this board once that one side was supposed to be OT and the other side was PT. Riding both sides many times, I don’t think I ever saw this plan executed.

Boo.

You probably have a countdown timer for movie tickets on Monday.

Disney would have to pay me to go see another one of their crappy star wars films.

Rode the OT and PT versions enough so I'd be very happy to have an ST only version.
