Man, that's way better than what the ride is now. But I admit I have a soft spot for practical effects. It's nice to see it in decent quality- most videos online are horrific.

Thats nostalgia. The new Star Tours scenes are much better than that. Also, C3P0 is a massive upgrade over PeeWee

I'm pretty sure they don't change the simulator's motion with these new Star Tours scenes- so it's probably dirt cheap to create vs programming an entirely new video game for the Falcon.
That said, if they did a Death Star mission for the Falcon it'd probably make me want to actually ride it.

All the new scenes have new motions to them, but you don't have to worry about it causing issues like it would with MF:SR because each car is on its own and not part of a track, so timing and motions can vary from ride to ride without causing an issue. Re-doing the Falcon wouldn't be hard per se, it would just need to be timed perfectly to work.

Also just timeline reasons, it's not as easy to add/or randomize the MF:SR profiles. Unlike Star Tours, they could only pick/create stories that fit within the timeframe of Episodes 7 & 8.

Ehh, you could really go from prior to 7 to before 9 if you really want, or you can drop the Resistance part of the story (can't be that hard to re-record lines) and extend it out much further from pre-OT to post-ST.

Batuu itself is still stuck in between episodes 7-8.

My guess is they don't want to shut this ride down for an extended period to refresh it anytime soon. Also, maybe the technology is still a few years away from really making this ride everything we always wanted

Hahahaha, as if Disney would ever promote Lucas Star Wars.

There are literally dozens of OG + prequel missions on Star Tours. I have been on Star Tours countless times and have gotten more OG/Prequel ones with either Yoda, Leia or Darth

Actually it's between episodes 8-9.
Loosely. They do feature Din Djarin, Grogu, and Boba Fett, but I suppose it is feasible they are still alive at that time.....just really old.
It probably wouldn't have to be extended. They just need to update the software on the machines running them, then maybe take a day or so to test.
There's dozens of "combinations" of missions (700 to be exact), but there's only 4 intros (2 OG), 5 primary destinations (3 OG), 7 holograms (3 OG), and 5 secondary destinations/landings (3 OG).

Respectfully, aren't there dozens of adventure scenarios that could be added within the context of Star Wars that have no bearing on the film or show related timeline?

Yeah, me too. Hoth and Geonosis were great but I haven’t seen those in years.
I was at Hollywood Studios last month and on three rides it was ALL Kylo instead of Vader, old Lando, Crait and Rey’s Death Star. Based upon @Phroobar post and my experience I just assumed they had it locked into place, especially since they had a poster about Rise of Skywalker outside the attraction.
Is that wrong? Do they actually play the PT and OT stuff still?

Exactly. Why does the story have to be timeline driven? The current one isn't. Both Chewy and Hondo have been around since the prequel trilogy era and there's nothing else in the mission that indicated when it takes place.
