YMMV / Star Tours

Go To

  • Even Better Sequel: While the original Star Tours was well-regarded as an attraction, The Adventures Continue is almost universally preferred due to the ride's unique gimmick of having multiple paths and endings as opposed to strictly one as was the case in the original ride, leading to a new and different experience every time. The greater connection to the Star Wars mythos, such as having C-3PO be the on-ride host (instead of the divisive Rex from the original) and the various references to all three trilogies, doesn't hurt either.
  • Fanfic Fuel: Fans of the Disney+ shows have spitballed some ideas for new scenarios, such as soaring through a fight to protect Nevarro, or flying into the Eye of Aldhani.
  • Hilarious in Hindsight: Go here.
  • Most Wonderful Sound: The Star Tours jingle, which plays once the Starspeeder is ready to be boarded.
  • Take That, Scrappy!:
    • After the Naboo ad in the queue C-3PO will remark that he finds Gungans annoying.
    • In the original version of the Naboo sequence, the Starspeeder would encounter Jar-Jar Binks and barely miss running him over. In the updated version, added in 2015 after Disney bought the Star Wars franchise, the Starspeeder actually does hit Jar-Jar and he splats on the windshield like a bug.
    • Additionally, in the queue, one of the walking silhouettes is a human pushing Jar-Jar frozen in carbonite.
    • The queue takes visitors past a lineup of various droids, including Captain Rex, with "Defective" tags attached.
  • Unexpected Character: Thanks to the accolades bestowed upon Andor, riders may receive a transmission from the title character beginning in April 2024, despite him dying at the end of Rogue One.
