New Destinations coming to Star Tours

VIDEO - Sneak peek of the new Force Awakens Star Tours adventure

That actually looks pretty lame. Strangely slow...and video game console quality. Weird.

I would imagine the motions of the cabin help amplify the experience.

I hope it's NOT just the Millennium Falcon flying through stuff. We've seen that in the trailers!

And in one of the existing openings of the ride.

I am just guessing, but by the looks of the wreckage on the planet's surface I think this is suppose to be Jakku.

I guess this means we won't see Kashyyyk, Hoth, and Tatooine for who know how many months.

I know they want everyone to see the new scene, but I will miss the 2nd scenes. I always ride it at least 3 or 4 times a visit so I really appreciate the random nature of the scenes.

 

[PorterRedkey]

2x1x3x3 = 18 possible combination if the 2nd scene is replaced instead of 54. That'a a shame if true.

Yup. Full of wreckage that was put there like three-four years after the supposed time-setting of the rest of the ride and First Order TIES that won't exist for decades.

I'm guessing you have a problem with the timeline. It already has problems as you probably know with the Hoth AT-AT scene. It does seem like they really don't feel this is important. When I think about it bother me, but when I am actually riding the ride I am having to much fun to be concerned with timelines.

Maybe I was assuming, but I thought it was the first planet that was getting replaced?

Right, 1st scene is the opening scene(choice of 2) , then you warp to scene 2 or the 1st planet (3 scenes), then message (3) and the ending (3).

At least George pulled an explanation out of his butt on that one to ease the Imagineers minds: Echo Base wasn't the first time the Rebels were on Hoth. Imps ruled out the possibility of them returning after the Star Tours battle

Didn't you know that all Star Speeder 1000s are equipped with Flux Capacitors? Thanks to Doc Brown, that is why you fly in space AND time.

I think this is more of a work in progress. It could use a little cleaning up. I'm sure it is a lot longer too.

Pretty much all simulator footage that’s intended to be presented in 3D tends to look slow or lower quality when trimmed down to 2D and without accompanying simulator.

(The footage used from Star Tours for the Falcon on DCL has been re-rendered to compensate for that so it looks good as standalone scenes.)

If you go back (via youtube) and look at similar videos for the original Star Tours re-do, they look just like that (something looks "off" compared to what we're used to with high-quality CG films). As noted above, it has to do with the translation of 3-D to a 2-D format, and that "off-ness" goes away when you're on the actual ride with 3-D glasses on.

Star Tours Into Synergy

 

[That Guy]

It makes sense that they would use Jakku. This is one part of the film that was most likely done completely in CGI. I'm sure it made the transfer easier.

They actually went to Abu Dhabi to film in the desert. So not totally CGI. Lots of real world filming locations for this one.

Really disappointed with yet another anachronism being introduced, especially when there has been so much work to tighten Star Wars as a property.
