Disney parks are adding characters and locations from Disney+ series Ahsoka, Andor, and The Mandalorian to the Star Tours attraction.
The new scenes for Star Tours, the firstStar Wars attractionto open in aDisney park, will debut on 5 April at Disney World in Florida, Disneyland in California, and Disneyland Paris.
With the new additions, guests will experience one of more than 250 storyline variations on the Star Tours ride, including a trip to the planet Peridea from the Ahsoka series.
Additionally, urgent transmissions from characters like Ahsoka Tano, Cassian Andor,Din Djarin and Grogu could be part of the ride experience, Disney said in a blog post.
Star Tours opened at Disneyland in 1987. It has been updated to include new destinations and characters over the years. The most recent is inspired byStar Wars: The Rise of Skywalker.
The latest worlds for Star Tours were teased last year by Walt Disney Imagineering's portfolio creative executiveScott Trowbridge.
“We work hard to create all of these experiences for you because... we’reStar Warsfans, too,” Trowbridge said.
“We look forward to the places we’ll go and the stories we can explore together next. So hopefully I’ll see you somewhere out there on the hyperspace routes,” he added.
