Star Tours 2 trailer


From slashfilm [excerpt] The] revamp will incorporate prequel characters (like Naboo citizens and Geonosians) along with many aliens from the original trilogy (Aqualish. Bith, Rodians, etc). In the action sequence, the Star Tours vehicle is now going to be chased by Boba Fett. C3PO and R2-D2 are still the hosts… Admiral Ackbar holographically communicates with the Star Tours vehicle. Right now they’re shooting mostly green screen footage, as it is the middle part of the production timeline...

...It’s not the total podracer reboot that was rumored a few years back, thank God. I’m hearing that its essentially the same ride but updated. It sounds to me like they might be shooting the footage in 3D, but I’m not sure.

Meh. Podracers. I need to use this as a reminder to get to D-land and do Star Tours again before they lame it up.

JSP and I did Star Tours in June, it's every bit as fun as you remember! Hopefully JSP will post some of his photos (hint hint).

Dude, I know! I'm only an hour and a half away from Disneyland. Since I moved here I've been there twice.

I watched the trailer before I read the blurb, so maybe it won't be as bad as all that.

Anakin Skywalker: Are you an angel?
Queen Amidala: What?
Anakin Skywalker: An angel. I've heard the deep space pilots talk about them. They're the most beautiful creatures in the universe. They live on the moon of Iego, I think.
Queen Amidala: [smiles] You're a funny little boy. How do you know so much?
Anakin Skywalker: I listen to all the traders and star pilots who came through here. I'm a pilot, you know, and someday I'm going to fly away from this place.
Queen Amidala: You're a pilot?
Anakin Skywalker: Mmhm. All my life.
Queen Amidala: How long have you been here?
Anakin Skywalker: Since I was very little - three, I think. My Mom and I were sold to Gardulla the Hutt, but she lost us betting on the pod races.
Queen Amidala: You're a slave?
Anakin Skywalker: [annoyed] I'm a person and my name is Anakin!
