Star Tours – the first Star Wars attraction in a Disney park – will feature "more stories and characters" next year, the Imagineer confirmed.

These are coming to Disneyland in California, Disney’s Hollywood Studiosin Florida, and Disneyland Parisin France.

However, Trowbridge said he can't reveal "just where we’re going yet – or those we may meet along the way".

"We work hard to create all of these experiences for you because ... we’reStar Warsfans, too," he added.

"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."

Star Tours opened at Disneyland in 1987. It has been updated to include new destinations over the years, with the most recent overlay inspired byStar Wars: The Rise of Skywalker.

Last year, Walt Disney World opened the newStar Wars: Galactic Starcruiser hotel experience, which takes place on the luxurious Halcyon ship.

This came after the launch of Star Wars: Galaxy's Edge at Disney World and Disneyland in 2019.
