Star Tours: The Adventures Continue is an upcoming attraction to be installed at Disneyland and Disney's Hollywood Studios. Set in the fictional Star Wars universe, "The Adventures Continue" will update the two parks' original Star Tours attractions. Whereas Star Tours took place after the events of Return of the Jedi, the new attraction will be set earlier in the film series' timeline, between the events of Revenge of the Sith and A New Hope. The attractions are currently scheduled to open in May 2011.
History
In April 2005, at the Star Wars Celebration III, creator George Lucas confirmed that a Star Tours II was in production. In May 2009, /Film reported that filming for the new version of Star Tours was underway in West Hollywood, California.[1]
The flight information board utilized in the ride queue promises forthcoming adventures to Hoth, Tatooine and Dagobah, and displays the text "Soon Endor Won't Be The End-All". These details, especially the tagline, are often mistaken as recent additions, used to support rumors of impending changes to the attraction, but have actually been in place since Star Tours opened, as have advertisements to other planets; e.g. Hoth.[citation needed]
At the D23 Expo in Anaheim, California[when?], it was announced that Star Tours at Disneyland and Disney's Hollywood Studios will close in October 2010 for total renovation and re-open in 2011 as Star Tours II. The updated ride system will consist of a High-definition video, a Disney Real-D 3D screen, an improved motion simulator, as well as several other newly added special effects. A short teaser trailer was shown at the expo featuring a Podracing scene similar to that from Star Wars Episode I: The Phantom Menace. An accompanying teaser picture depicted an orange-colored "StarSpeeder 1000" spacecraft.[2]
In May 2010, Disney announced exact dates for the closure of Star Tours at both parks, both earlier than the originally announced October 2010 date. Star Tours closed on July 27 at Disneyland and closed on September 7 at Disney's Hollywood Studios.[3]
Disney hopes to open the new version at both Anaheim and Orlando in May 2011, but construction delays could cause the date to be changed.[citation needed]
On June 11, 2010 at the "What's Next?" presentation, Disney announced that the re-imagined attraction will take place between episodes III and IV and be named Star Tours: The Adventures Continue. They also premiered a new image showcasing the StarSpeeder 1000 flying through Coruscant.[4]
On August 12, during Celebration V, Disney showed a preview 'commercial' of what guests may expect to see, including visits to Endor, Bespin, and Alderaan (recently voted safest planet in the galaxy)[5]
On September 24th, two new characters were revealed for Star Tours: The Adventure Continues. The first one was Ace, the new pilot, and the second one was the already revealed Aly San San spokesdroid, voiced by Allison Janney.[citation needed]
Ride
The attraction will replace the original Star Tours, as well as be given an updated ride system, which will consist of a new High-definition video, a Disney Real-D 3D screen, an improved motion simulator and several newly added special effects. According to the Disneyland website: "Star Tours is temporarily grounded for reimagining, as the Star Tours travel company plans for new interstellar routes in the Star Wars galaxy. When the all-new Star Tours reopens in 2011, it will take you for the first time to other Star Wars destinations — in 3D! Get ready for new journeys and exciting adventures!".[citation needed] The original version contained a Starspeeder 3000 as the Vehicle that the riders rode on. Since the new attraction is set before the original film, the guests will ride in the Starspeeder 1000.
Production
Cast
Music
John Williams, who composed the music for all six of the original Star Wars films, declined the opportunity to write the soundtrack for this new incarnation of Star Tours. He had also declined writing the score for the original Star Tour attraction. Instead, Michael Giacchino will be writing the score for the attraction. The signature Star Tour theme is reportedly staying in the attraction and will not be replaced. [7]
