Rumored Star Tours Makeover

http://www.theforce.net/latestnews/story/Star_Tours_20_Shooting_In_Production_122722.asp

There have been rumors about Star Tours getting an update or makeover for years, all of which panned out to nothing. So we'll have to see if this is actually true. If it is, well, that might justify a trip to Disneyland ;). It sounds like they're not only adding prequel elements, they're also focusing on fanboy faves like Boba Fett and Admiral "It's A Trap" Ackbar. If it were up to me, you would go to a different destination each ride and it's random where you go. This would encourage multiple rides. Imagineers, give me a call!

Thoughts on SW Insider's TPM Tribute

I finished the latest issue of Star Wars Insider, featuring its 10th anniversary salute to TPM. If you’re not a subscriber, definitely go buy it at your local newsstand! It’s a winner and in my humble opinion, the best issue of the Insider since Titan took it over. The highlights were the new interviews with Ahmed “Jar Jar” Best, Ralph “Ric Olié” Brown, and animation supervisor Rob Coleman. It was particularly fascinating to see what Best has been up to and his take on the whole Jar Jar thing. It is kind of funny to see he’s now won an award for playing Jar Jar on the last “Robot Chicken” SW spoof-fest, hee hee. There’s also a neat article on Darth Maul collectibles and the Bantha Tracks section has a touching piece about a guy who donated his kidney to another fan. Oh and you will be amazed when you read Mary Franklin’s piece that reveals there are people out there who collect Jar Jar.
