First look at the new driver on Star Tours!


The Disney Parks Blog has posted a very brief update on Star Tours, and it includes a great picture showing George Lucas himself checking on the new Audio-Animatronic driver! Read about it here:



George Lucas visits Star Tours at Disneyland

It was a big day for Star Tours recently, as Star Wars creator George Lucas, joined by producer Rick McCallum, paid a visit to Disneyland Park to take a few test rides on the attraction with our Walt Disney Imagineering team. After experiencing adventures to several of the Star Wars worlds aboard the Starspeeder 1000, George and Rick gave the team a big thumbs up on their progress. George even took a moment to pose with the Audio-Animatronics figure of C-3PO in the Starspeeder cockpit!
Stay tuned for more Star Tours updates.



So, did you recognize the driver? I did (because previously he was on the first pre-show room, and because, if you read the article, it tells you the name!), and let me say that it looks great!! Someone told me that the co-pilot will be.... Jar Jar Binks or something like that...
Just kidding (we would crash in the first 10 seconds of the ride)!!

  1. I just don't like the idea of C3PO as the driver. Part of the charm of the original Star Tours was Rex, if you ask me. I guess I just don't care for C3PO that much.
