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.
