The Disney theme parks are an absolute haven for Star Wars fans, even more so in recent years with the addition of the Galaxy’s Edge, a massive and immersive Star Wars area added to both the California and Florida Disney parks.
But despite the billions spent on new, state-of-the-art attractions in recent years, Disney’s best Star Wars-related attraction may still be the beloved, clunky rust bucket of a flight simulator, Star Tours. Opened in 1987, the ride has been a consistent crowd pleaser since Return of the Jedi was less than five years old (!) but Disney has managed to keep it fresh by plugging in new scenes featuring characters from new Star Wars films over the years.
On Tuesday, Disney announced its latest batch of new scenes that will be added to the ride and this time it will feature the stars of the Disney+ shows that have kept the Star Wars universe going in recent years.
Beginning on April 5, the ride will include scenes featuring The Mandalorian and Grogu, as well as Rosario Dawson as Ahsoka Tano and Diego Luna as Cassian Andor. The new additions mean the ride now offers more than 250 possible story variations, according to Disney.
You can get a glimpse of some of the footage from the Ahsoka version of the ride in this video released by Disney along with the announcement.
The new scenes will roll out April 5th, 2024 in California’s Disneyland, Disney’s Hollywood Studios in Florida, and Disneyland Paris.
