III has come and gone ... it sounds like George Lucas IS committed to updating Star Tours. Maybe in the next year or two we'll hear something. Or work will begin.

But next month is the 30th Anniv of Ep IV and C4 is in LA too, so if there is going to be something new expect an announcement here.

Originally Posted By Phantom The "hints" that there would be new trips have always been around, if I recall correctly. The problem in recent years has been Disney's lawyers and Lucas' lawyers not coming to total agreement. Perhaps with management changes at Disney Corporate in recent years, things will change?
Originally Posted By jmuboy Its less about lawyers and more about Eisner's ego that has killed ST updates so far. And now it has not gotten back onto Iger's radar.
Originally Posted By Sweeper Those messages have always been there. We were all hopeful they would change this around more often. But we're still stuck never making it to Endor and I'm going gray!
Originally Posted By DVC_dad Yes it is sooo easy to blame Eisner for anything we don't like about anything we aren't happy with. I guess POTC was too busy making rain for the company for him to concern himself with a project that would demand Lucas getting involved. Of course Lucas certainly has nothing else to do than to come hang out at DL and make suggestions on updates. Personally I love Star Wars, have since 1979, but I can count 100 things I would rather have been done during Eisner's last couple of years than updating Star Tours.

Originally Posted By oc_dean Well, then .. that's why Disney needs to carefully select who they hire .. because THEY have to care. They use to be able to think ahead of the general public. It's called talent. You just can't hire a bunch of Presslers and Bravermans who think sand boxes are "okay" to add in their expensive theme parks. Where's Disneywatcher when I need him?!
Originally Posted By threeundertwo I don't mind the trip to Endor, but HISTA has got to go. Actually, I guess I'm one of the small percentage of people who always enjoy that trip to Endor.
Originally Posted By davewasbaloo nope 3under2, i still love going to endor too. rather do st than sm or btmrr
Originally Posted By Park Hopper I'd like to see a new Star Tours experience. It's just that I'm afraid the new trip won't be as good as the old.
Originally Posted By spaceace I would love to be able to get to Endor. Everytime we try to go we never make it there. You cant trust those droid pilots. Then again maybe if we got to go somewhere different we might get there.
