if this has been posted, please dont kill me :shrug:

It’s been awhile since we’ve heard much about the Star Tours 2 project, but an interesting posting was put on Theme Park Insider a few weeks ago from an insider. From the sounds of things, everyone is on-board now to get this project up and running at last, which apparently took the Oriental Land Company to sign on the dotted line and throw in some extra cash into the pot. As I’ve heard rumored, the new version of Star Tours will be in 3D and use extensive in-cabin effects. The timeline will place the events of the film right between Episode 3 and 4, into the grey area between the two trilogies. Even better, not only will it involve more than one random ending to the film to keep it fresh, but apparently they will also have random different starting and middle segments too, creating so many different combinations that it could be very difficult to ever say that you saw them all.

While Disneyland seems relatively quiet by comparison, there are a few surprises proposed for the original park in the next few years. The most promising is the new Star Tours 2.0 makeover that has just recently received its funding greenlight from Burbank and is now slated for an arrival in Tomorrowland in the spring of 2011. While that attraction was originally supposed to arrive in spring, 2010, we'd detailed for you in a previous update how a wussy executive team out in Orlando got cold feet at spending as much money on their version as Anaheim had planned to spend on their installation.

While Orlando's executive suites are still full of charmless pencil pushers who make Ed Grier look like Walt Disney Jr. in comparison, a financial deal was finally worked out that is allowing Disneyland to move forward with their original plan for the full-feature and big-budget remake of the popular 1980's E Ticket. You can also thank George Lucas and his creative team for refusing to give in on Orlando's proposal to scale the makeover back for East Coast audiences.
