  • Star Tours was a motion simulator attraction at several Disney theme parks, based on the successful Star Wars film series created by George Lucas. Set in the Star Wars universe, the attraction sent guests on an excursion trip to Endor, whilst being caught in an altercation between the New Republic and an Imperial Remnant. The attraction featured Captain "Rex" RX-24 along with series regulars R2-D2 and C-3PO.
    At its debut at Disneyland in 1987, it was the first attraction based originally on a non-Disney licensed intellectual property. The first incarnation of the ride appeared in Tomorrowland at Disneyland in 1987, replacing the previous attraction, Adventure Thru Inner Space. The attraction had subsequent openings at Tokyo Disneyland, Disney's Hollywood Studios, and Disneyland Paris.
    The attraction at Disneyland and Disney's Hollywood Studios closed in 2010 to allow conversion for its successor attraction, Star Tours - The Adventures Continue. The latter location was completed on May 20, 2011. Tokyo Disneyland and Disneyland Paris closed their versions for conversion in 2012 and 2016, marking the classic ride's final run of 29 years.

    what great memories. In 1987, Jedi was released 4 years ago, and this was the ONLY Star Wars fix you could get, aside from trying to buy all the harder and harder to get merchandise.
    I was SOOO excited that day.
    One of my favorite parts of the ride was the LINE to get in. If others went, you'd remember it was through a hanger bay, surrounded by TONS of Star Wars tech. And there was a big screen above us with "flight departure" information and ADVERTISEMENTS.
    To THIS day, the one advertisement I remember most is....
    "Ski the slopes of Hoth!"

    When I was a kid, I remember getting this massive book filled with Star Wars' history, behind the scenes, and concept art of the original trilogy and the prequels, which were still coming out at the time. That book also contained a CD which had a track with an audio recording of this entire ride. Back then, before I had access to any sort of internet, it was incredible to imagine what the actual ride would've looked like and thus I had to use my imagination to fill in the blanks. I swear, I must've listened to that recording a hundred times. It's now incredible to see what the real deal looks like as if I'm fulfilling a longtime childhood wish.

    I was fortunate enough to attend a 1986 open house at WED in Glendale, CA while the attraction was being developed. We got a preview ride in one of the simulators when the special effects in the film weren't yet complete. Even with everything not being finished yet, everyone knew that this was going to blow people away. On a side note, at that same open house we got a preview of Splash Mountain. It was a miniature built at eye level so you could walk through it as if you were in one of the boats. It was incredibly detailed.

Not even just the ride itself but the line queue as well. I remember luggage was being moved around on the ceiling by metals baskets and a bunch of protocol droids slacking off in the work space it had real feeling of being lived in.

    Knowing this is all optical with motion control miniatures, it kind of boggles me to think about just how complex everything is. I don't think there are many model shots in the original trilogy with such a complex camera move. So much bluescreen work, so many calculations to make everything move together as if it were all in the same 3D space. I'm blown away

    It's a bit more impressive to consider that virtually none of this was "digital", especially as we understand it today - this is about 90-95% physical model work in the film, with at most a bit of computer-assisted compositing for the comet sequence and a few other things. It was all driven by computerized timing for the flight simulator, of course, but the actual film was a product of that last age of purely physical model work. This is a decent part of why it still holds up fairly well today; those are the same studio models used in the movies (with, uh, more than a bit of the Inexplicable Death Star sequence being cribbed directly from the New Hope trench run *cough*) and so the quality and aesthetic matches the original cuts of the trilogy perfectly. The actual Star Tours HQ, meanwhile, was modeled to the same standards and thus meshes perfectly.
    It is nice to see this preserved so well; I know it was streamed at one point this year, but this is a particularly excellent reproduction that doesn't have the stream garbage, includes the side-monitor footage and a little footage of the Rex animatronic that was in the simulator with the riders, and I rather doubt that Disney (ah, the irony of this being "third party" when first made) will release the footage themselves in the future. Very good work, Zera!

This is still fantastic though! And of course, RIP Paul Reubens
