Star Tours Final Flight full ride-through at Disney D23 event, Hollywood Studios

Star Tours at Disney's Hollywood Studios closed forever on Sept. 7, 2010. Disney's fan club, D23, held a Final Flight event so members and their guests could be the last ones to ride. Stormtroopers escorted the guests from the front gates to the Star Tours attraction. Some Stormtroopers even rode in the final flight. The ride is being redone and will open in 2011 as Star Tours: The Adventures Continue. The new ride will be in 3D, feature multiple destinations and take place between episodes three and four of the movies.
Be sure to watch to the end to see a Stormtrooper's reaction to the ride closing.

A decade has passed and I will say this is my favorite version. No 3D no big plots. It’s so simple... I miss it.

That’s called romanticizing your childhood memories. We all do it, but it’s based in emotional recall and not objective truth. There’s a reason Disney updates rides and attractions with the exception of a lot of the ones at MK where the whole idea is having it feel “classic.” Attractions show their age as the years pass and need to be updated to stay relevant, and there will always, always be people saying “it was better back in the day!” Even when that’s not really true. I work at this attraction and have great memories riding the original version as a kid. Disney has made lots of questionable changes in recent years, but the updates to star tours aren’t among them. People love the different show scenes and the rebel spy cam (they tell us so). The 3D is just so-so I’ll give you that, but that’s how it is with every 3D attraction. Sometimes it’s best to let past memories stay memories… that’s where they fare the best. The original star tours in today’s Hollywood studios would be confusingly outdated and underwhelming.

I was part of the college program in the summer of 1993, and worked Star Tours. Was one of the best times of my life. Occasionally we would get Ewoks that would just lean against the rope of the wheelchair ramp, and people would think they weren’t real. Someone would poke one and the would jump at them and people would scream. We would hear them scream, and we would know Ewoks were in the building hearing them in the Lead office which was through the door past Speeder 1. The extended queue line was known as the Death Star when it was set up. Also the line of the cast member when departing was never scripted though most would say “May the Force be with you....because I won’t be.”

I literally remember that parting line and I loved it as a kid at the time. 25 years later still remember it.

Star Tours was always my favorite ride at MGM. I loved the inside layout/atmosphere and the sound effects that lead to the actual ride. I never knew they changed it up recently because the last time I went to Disney World was in 2008 so this is nostalgic for me. I've been to Disney World four times but I do miss it.

Even though the new ride features multiple settings, I'm always going to prefer this one due to a numbers of things. Apart from nostalgia, the old ride had raw graphics that aren't gimmicky and heavily computer processed like the new one. I enjoy the true Lucas look of the 70's. Also, the 3D aspect turns me off. I hate having to wear glasses to feel immersed in the situation. Kind of brings the magic away from it all. It's too bad you didn't get a shot of all of the posters in the exit lunge after leaving the ride. Do they still have those in the new one?

They should have kept 3 of the 6 simulators as Endor and the other 3 as updated so you could chose which one you want to ride. Or however many simulators they have split it up evenly so you can chose which ride you wanna ride (only in a perfect world I know)

I've watched the new ride. I don't like it...I grew up going to Disney every couple of years and riding this version of the ride. The old-style film reminded me of the 'original' films and how they were still awesome even if the technology wasn't as advanced as today's. The new ride is like the prequels-dull, overdone, and relying too heavily on modern technology for all the effects. I haven't been to WDW si. will miss this ride.
