Star Tours 2….confirmed?
Perhaps the oldest running rumor in Disney history is the possibility of a new Star Tours. It seems everytime Star War Weekends or a new Star Wars project rolls around, we hear this rumor ad naseum. Not that long ago, Anthony Daniels, a.k.a. C3-P0, was quoted as saying he recorded some dialogue for a Star Tours 2. That rumor has seemingly died on the vine.
But now, we may have the most reliable source yet for a Star Tours 2. In fact, it may even have been confirmed to at least be in development. A recent article on c/net news goes in depth into the work behind the new Indiana Jones film by computer graphics supervisor, Hayden Landis. Its a nice review of the amazing work done on that film by Industrial Light and Magic. What does this have to do with Star Tours 2 you ask?
Simple. The next to last line of the article - seemingly a throw in- will set Disney fans into hysteria. It reads “Next up for Landis is another nostalgia-oriented project–a redo of the Star Tours ride at Disneyland.”
