In the summer of 2011, Star Tours–The Adventures Continue opened at Disney’s Hollywood Studios at Walt Disney World in Florida and at Disneyland in Southern California. (The new attraction opened in 2013 at Tokyo Disneyland and heads to Disneyland Paris in 2017.) This high-tech update of the original 1987 attraction features a Dolby 3D screen, new animatronic characters, in-ride effects, and improved motion simulations. But the greatest add-on to the attraction was a randomization of two segments; instead of simply visiting Endor like in the original attraction, it now makes a stop at two planets, meaning there are dozens of possible experiences. It also meant that, in the future, sections of the ride film could be swapped out for new segments. That hasn’t happened … until now.

As part of the Star Wars Awakens event at Disney’s Hollywood Studios and Season of the Force at Disneyland, a new destination has been added to Star Tours. On your next trip around the galaxy, be ready to make a pit stop on the junk-strewn desert planet of Jakku, from Star Wars: The Force Awakens. But that’s not all: You’ll also see appearances from John Boyega’s Finn (who pilots the Millennium Falcon), everyone’s favorite new droid, BB-8, and a scavenger that looks eerily like Rey (played in the film by Daisy Ridley). The Jakku sequence is really wonderful, smart, and fun—perfectly fitting into the world of Star Tours (even though it takes place outside of the newly established timeline, which puts Star Tours in the in-between-Episode III-and-Episode IV era, making it concurrent with Star Wars Rebels and the upcoming Rogue One: A Star Wars Story) and adds to the raucous fun surrounding Star Wars: The Force Awakens.
