It has been confirmed (kind of) that Star Tours is going to be re-done. In an article/interview done with Hayden Landis, it is stated that his next project will be the Star Tours re-make. Don’t recognize the name? He was the Computer Graphics Supervisor for the new Indiana Jones movie. The Indy films are made by Lucasfilm (same people who did Star Wars). The article was mainly about his experience with Kingom of the Crystal Skull, but at the bottom in the last paragraph it says this:

“Next up for Landis is another nostalgia-oriented project–a redo of the Star Tours ride at Disneyland. The big question…will Captain EO make a comeback?”

For those unfamiliar with this ongoing rumor, they apparently have planned a new movie for the ride that is in 3D. You would wear glasses similar to many of the other 3D attractions in Disney Parks. Nobody is sure if they will refurb the actual vehicles or not at this point. Let’s cross our fingers because this ride needs a major update!
