Info

Groups of visitors are taken on "Star Tours", a space tour bus set in the Star Wars universe. Thanks to an inexperienced and thoroughly incompetent robot pilot, what is billed as a leisurely tour to the Endor Moon becomes a wild ride as the tour gets caught up in a battle between the Empire and the rebels.

Star Tours Audience Reviews

WasAnnon Slow pace in the most part of the movie.
Arianna Moses Let me be very fair here, this is not the best movie in my opinion. But, this movie is fun, it has purpose and is very enjoyable to watch.
Guillelmina The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.
Skyler Great movie. Not sure what people expected but I found it highly entertaining.
Horst in Translation (filmreviews@web.de) This is a roughly 3-minute lasting ride at Disneyland. It was directed by Dennis Muren, who also worked on the Star Wars films and won many Oscars for his visual effects. But this is also the only Star Wars reference really. The whole thing looks like a journey through the universe, but not as if it really has something to do with the famous franchise. I have no idea why all these actors are credited here. The female voice constantly yelling also gets annoying halfway into the film and keep in mind that this is only 3 minutes. All in all, I recommend this ride to Star wars fans. Everybody else can really give it a pass. i have seen many better rides.
masterbrain_27 In an effort to update their image, the Disney Theme Parks, with permission from George Lucas, produced the world's first motion simulator ride, Star Tours, which has been often copied, but never topped.As opposed to a ride that goes somewhere or follows a track, Star Tours is a small theater that is bounced and jostled around in synch with a P.O.V. special effects film made by ILM where the craft flies through maintenance bays, meteors, and the famous death star trench. The effect is far more believable than it sounds.The story is that guests are a commercial spaceport, boarding a flight to the moons of Endor, the que goes past several robots, including R2-D2 and C3-P0, repairing one of the shuttles. The Shuttle is piloted by a first-time pilot robot, Rex who is physically there in front of the screen/window. The ship takes off to a rocky start, taking a wrong turn at the launch tunnels and flying through the maintenance bay, followed by light speed and a detour through a crystalline meteor shower. Then the craft stumbles into the middle of a battle between the Empire and the Rebellion, including Star Destroyers and the trench flight of the Death Star, then quickly returns home so the guests can be herded into the nearest souvenir shop to buy things.
Brett Walter I must say that I was a little surprised to find out that an amusment park ride was listed under IMDB. But, it does use film, so I guess. For those who have never expereinced Star Tours, you are missing out. This is one of the best rides at Disneyland park. Even though there is always a line, it is worth the wait.
mcstuart My father and I were in Disneyland 1 week prior to the "Grand Opening" of this ride at Disneyland back in 1987. Needless to say it is still on our list to catch when at the Disney parks. Considering the technology at the time it came out, it is still the foundation by which other "sim" rides attempt to duplicate. It was a lot of fun and regardless of the dialogue, it is just a good time...
