Star Tours II

Star Tours II

"Star Tours II" is the working name used to describe the planned overhaul of the Star Tours ride at Disneyland, Disney's Hollywood Studios, Tokyo Disneyland and Disneyland Paris. Although there are few details currently available, "Star Wars" creator George Lucas confirmed in April, 2005 that a prequel-oriented "Star Tours II" ride is in production.

In a concept release, the sequel is described as being based on the Pod Racer sequence in "". The new ride system will consist of a glasses-free 3-D High Definition screen and an improved motion simulator.

While there is no official time line for the launch of the ride, rumors have circulated that due to the surprise popularity of the "Jedi Training Academy" feature in Tomorrowland, the park is pushing to have the new version up and running by 2010.

Recently, there was a CNET article about special effects for the new Indiana Jones film. In the article, Industrial Light & Magic computer graphics supervisor Hayden Landis says that his next project will be the Star Tours 2.0 film. However, this was just an offhand comment so may not necesserily be true.

Hayden Christensen has been announced to star in this ride. Christensen states, "I'm very excited to be a part of this production. I feel that it will be able to gather new fans into the series, as well as have veteran fans enjoy the ride with an actual Star Wars film actor joining the ride with you." Christensen has also stated to appear at the attraction on the day of it's opening.
