While Star Tours has always brought park-goers to many places, all of those destinations were previously taken directly from the nine films of the Skywalker Saga (and everything else came from the theatrically released “Star Wars” features only). With this most recent update, though, the world of “Star Wars” television and animation has finally come to life on Star Tours.
The only new location that’s been added to Star Tours this time around is the planet Seatos, which was first seen in the “Ahsoka” television show. It’s where Ahsoka was able to chase Morgan Elsbeth to a new galaxy with the help of the giant space whales known as the purrgil. As a passenger, it’s thrilling to weave through the purrgil and get to see them up close, with Ahsoka on the screen calling out instructions to R2-D2 and C-3PO. In fact, the ride even includes a touching moment where Ahsoka tells Artoo it’s nice to see him again, which got me a little choked up after 15 years of seeing them interact in the canon across various cartoons.
Seatos itself is a terrific addition and fits in completely with the aesthetic and adventure of the rest of the ride. Though it doesn’t maintain the adherence to the Skywalker Saga as all of the previous additions did, let’s hope this opens the door for locations from other movies like “Solo: A Star Wars Story,” as well as “Rogue One: A Star Wars Story.”
But the new location isn’t all that’s been added.
