This is the full ride film played on Star Tours at Disneyland Park at the Disneyland Resort, Disney's Hollywood Studios at Walt Disney World Resort, Tokyo Disneyland and Disneyland Paris.

This is a post production copy of the Star Tours ride film before it was sent to Disney for further visual and sound editing. Two of the most noticible things that confirm this is the bright tint and shade of yellow on the objects that show up on the screen as well as the dialouge in the video is different than what is played on the ride.

Star Tours utilizes a Rediffusion Simulation (Later owned by Thomson-CSF) hydraulic motion base cabin featuring 4 degrees of freedom. The trade name for this simulator is Advanced Technology Leisure Application Simulator, or ATLAS. The Rediffusion 'Leisure' simulator was originally developed for a much simpler show in Canada called "Tour of the Universe", where it featured a single entrance/exit door in the rear of the cabin and a video projector.

The film is front projected onto the screen from a 70mm film projector located beneath the cockpit barrier. George Lucas has mentioned that the next generation of the attraction will feature digital high definition video and motion bases capable of up to 6 degrees of freedom.

  • man, that pilot sure is a dumbass

  • Just a small piece of trivia, the guy who ducks down behind the glass at the end is George Lucas

  • @groggdawg

    You're still not an actual Star Wars fan.

  • who realised that at 4:06 its a picture then after the explosion it becomes 3D o.O

  • NOW THIS IS PODRACING!

  • @klee7609 yes. only 2 of the five or six star tour movies are good

  • Thank you for posting this. I went to Disneyland last weekend and was bitterly disappointed by the new version of Star Tours.

  • this one looks like it took more effort to make than all 11 other films that they are using on the new version of the ride. They should have kept this one along with the others

  • @supersonicmike1 yes it does. what are you talking about

  • this was so horrible. disney should not have star wars. if your a fan of the movies, this ride makes NO sense at all.
