As you may know, Star Tours has been closed for an extensive refurbishment that will include new footage and story lines. There has been a lot of speculation as to exactly what will be showing up in these new Tours, and Screamscape has a few tasty rumors for us. Keep in mind, none of these are confirmed, but they are possible plot spoilers, so read with caution:
- Near the beginning of the ride, guests will have some sort of contact with Darth Vadar, who will scan the shuttle and determine that a rebel spy is among the passengers! This will, apparently, be the catalyst for the rest of the perilous journey.
- There may be multiple plot lines offering a few different versions of the ride experience, much like the two versions of The Great Movie Ride (Gangster or Western).
- There will be Pod Races in the Star Speeder (this is almost certain, as promotional footage featuring Pod Racers has been rampant).
- The Death Star will make an appearance. And perhaps we'll see it under construction.
- Here comes the collective moan: Jar Jar Binks will be along for the ride. It seems there will be an encounter with the Gungan race on Naboo--perhaps underwater in the Gungan city,or we may experience a battle between the Droid Army and the Gunguns. But Jar Jar is gonna be there.
This could, of course, all be complete nonsense planted by mischief-makers. But I doubt it. I think these are all likely scenarios--even Jar Jar (*groan*). Regardless of the content, I'm excited to see the "new and improved" Star Tours 2 on our next visit!
