Star Tours has had many changes and additions since its opening in 1987 at Disneyland, 1989 at Disney’s Hollywood Studios (then Disney-MGM Studios), and finally at Disneyland Paris in 1992. As of April 5th all three parks are getting new additions. Are you ready for new adventures and transmissions from some new iconic characters? My son Johnny and I were excited to be some of the first to ride this morning. Follow along for a first look at what’s coming to Star Tours – The Adventures Continue!
A New Location Has Come to Star Tours
Now you have the opportunity to visit Seatos from the Ahsoka series. Here you get to help Ahsoka fight off the enemy and barely escape getting eaten by massive space-whales! Seatos is featured on the posters at the ride entrance.
Here’s a very short clip from the new scene. It’s beautiful!
Transmissions From…
If you are a fan, urgent transmission from various allies, divert your Starspeeder on thrilling adventures. New messages include Ahsoka, Din Djarin (The Mandalorian) with Grogu, and Cassin Andor. On our first ride, we got a transmission from Din Djarin and Grogu. Watch out for a little surprise when you ride, Grogu’s favorite snack makes an appearance,
Our second time through we got a transmission from Ahsoka. You also get to see her in the Seatos sequence as well.
Hopefully, we will get to see Cassian Andor on a future ride.
New Star Tours Merchandise
There is new Star Tours merchandise to commemorate the ride available now. My favorite is perhaps this jacket that replicates the Cast Member’s costume.
The new wearable merchandise is rounded out with two shirts and a hat. All with a focus on the ride and Starspeeder.
Two die-cast models of the Starspeeder 1000 will be available later this year. The small die-cast model will be available in May.
The larger model with light-up stand will be available late May or early June.

My son Johnny was very excited to be able to be one of the first to ride and see some of the new portions. See what he had to say about our first ride.
Are you a Star Tours regular? Will you be checking out the new sequences the next time you are in the parks?
While we are very excited to have new Star Tours adventures to look forward to, we are incredibly jealous of the entire Season of the Force celebration at Disneyland, which includes so much more. Take a look:
