Star Tours – The Adventures Continue is a 3D motion simulator that takes guests on a lightspeed journey through the Star Wars universe. Guests enter the Starspeeder 1000 for a scenic tour courtesy of Star Tours. This tour is soon interrupted because of the presence of a spy for the Rebel Alliance. Guests are taken on a whirlwind tour of the Star Wars universe. You never know where you might go, as the attraction is randomized.
Guests may visit Coruscant, Naboo, or even the Death Star, in addition to other locations. You may even end up being chased by a bounty hunter like Boba Fett! On your Star Tours tour you will be piloted by C-3PO and R2-D2. In addition to these characters you may encounter Princess Leia, Admiral Ackbar, Darth Vader, Jar Jar Binks, Chewbacca, or any of a variety of other Star Wars characters. There are over 50 combinations of Star Tours adventures with scenes from all of the Star Wars films, even The Force Awakens. Star Tours can be ridden again and again with unique adventures nearly every time.
