The oldest Star Wars attraction at Disney Parks is about to become its most up-to-date: as was previously teased, Star Tours — The Adventures Continue is expanding to include the main characters from Disney+ series Ahsoka, Andor, and The Mandaloria, as well as a new setting in Peridea, the planet seen in Ahsoka.
It’s an excellent day to be an Andor fan in particular, since it was just confirmed that the first season of the critically acclaimed Star Wars series is getting a Blu-ray release April 30. But first, starting April 5, you can check out the Star Tours additions at Disneyland Resort, Walt Disney World, and Disneyland Paris. According to a Disney press release, “during their flight, guests may encounter urgent transmissions from Ahsoka Tano, Cassian Andor, or Din Djarin and Grogu. With these additions, guests now have an opportunity to experience one of more than 250 storyline variations aboard the attraction, including a visit to the planet Peridea from the Ahsoka series.”
Disney Parks also released some new concept art as well as a short video from the Ahsoka segment; not much is revealed other than some undulating space whales, but fans of the show can certainly begin speculating about what those new “urgent transmissions” might entail. You have to assume Cassian Andor’s will be the most high-stakes—and certainly the most clandestine and politically charged. We’d wait in a Disney line over and over again for the chance to experience that one.
Here’s Ahsoka:
And soon-to-be movie stars the Mandalorian and Grogu:
As well as some pew-pew-pew action and those whales:
Check out the new Star Tours starting April 5, which is not coincidentally also the day Disneyland kicks off “Season of the Force,” its annual Star Wars celebration, which runs through June 2.
