The rain that had pushed through had slowed to a drizzle. After unexpectedly meeting up with some former neighbors of ours we headed to the ride. After we entered the queue it looked to be about a 30-40 minute wait. We asked the attending cast member if we could utilize our guest assistance pass. We were shown to the fast pass lane and were immediately at the front of the line. (Fast Passes were not operational at that time)
From all that I have heard about the updated Star Tours, it has 50+ possible story lines. This will really enhance future enjoyment. SPOILER ALERT!!! DO NOT READ FURTHER IF YOU DO NOT WANT TO LEARN OF SPECIFIC STORY LINES. Our storyline stated in the Star Tours Hanger. We were immediately met by Darth Vader and his legion of Storm Troopers. They were looking for a Rebel Spy, who happened to be one of the riders in our shuttle. After an intense battle with Darth and his henchman, we head out in hyperspace to the wookie planet of Kashyyk. There we find Chewbacca and his pals battling storm troopers on forest speeders. After a thrilling ride through the forrest we are sent back into hyper space one more time. While in route to our final destination we are greated by a 3D hologram of Princess Leia. She informs us of our mission to deliver our Rebel Spy safely to our final destination. She closes by saying "Help us Star Tours. You're our only hope!" Sound familiar?! For the grand finale we are delivered to Coruscant in the middle of a battle of Star Destroyers. After a thrilling battle sequence we are falling out of orbit of the planet to the city below. We regain power just in time to careen through the skyscrapers of Coruscant to our final landing platform.
All in all the graphics are amazing and very smooth. With the promised 50+ storylines, I look forward to riding this many times......May the Force be with You!
