Star Tours II Announcement at D23 Expo in Anaheim

Walt Disney Parks and Resorts Chairman Jay Rasulo announces Star Tours II (in 3-D), coming to Disneyland in Anaheim in 2011!

The announcement was made on September 12, 2009 at the D23 Expo in Anaheim, as Stormtroopers lined the stage.

The clip they showed was of a short pod race. (The movie clip looks blurry in this video because it was in 3-D and we wore glasses to watch it).

BARF. Why are they making Star Tours all about pod-racing now? THIS is all they've got after 20 years? And the geeks just eat this crap up. It's just another reason to try to convince people unsuccessfully that the prequels were memorable, interesting, fun, or inspired. They should just scrap this ride if they're gonna ruin it with prequel imagery.

@Disneydanny This attraction takes place in a time before the original star tours. Since the original was rex's "first flight", he obviously wont be in it. (For those that do not know, Podracing was outlawed before the original Star Tours took place in Galactic history.)
