"Star Tours remains one of the best offshoots of the whole Star Wars phenomenon and I am continually proud to be a part of it.
The strength of the original concept means that it’s barely aged over the last twenty years.
For me, the combination of a winning creative team lead by Tom Fitzgerald, a witty script, extraordinary designers and joyful production days meant that I have nothing but hugely positive memories of being there at the beginning.
If only I had the words to describe the first time I saw my animatronic counterpart, moving to my prefilmed actions up there on the gantry, regarding me with a rather quizzical face like, “What are you doing there!”. A rather scary doppelganger moment.
Come to think of it, Star Tours isn’t one of the best offshoots of the whole Star Wars phenomenon.
It is the best.
And it’s not just me who’s proud to be a part of it: Threepio is too. In spite of the fact that he still hates space travel.
May Star Tours fly deep into the next century… providing the pilot takes some flying lessons." Anthony Daniels
(JPX) I dug around a bit and found this rumor about Star Tours,
"Star Tours will have a new plot, one example was when you are exiting the docking station in your cruiser, you see the cruiser in front of you and notice it's being piloted by Captain Rex, and you see him take that infamous wrong left turn.
Plans for screens to be installed on the doors on both sides, as if they were windows, so instead of action just being in front of you, it would also be on your sides.
Something about different versions of plots, one including heading to Tatooine and joining in a pod race."

I just hope you can still fly down the Death Star trench. When I first rode Star Tours in 1992, that moment was like a lifelong dream coming true.
And I didn't even know it was coming.
