About a year ago, I went to Walt Disney World. My favorite thing we did all summer was "Star Wars: Last Tour to Endor" which was the last ride on the attraction "Star Tours". They had a show called "Indiana Jones and the Lost Jedi Temple of Doom" which was AMAZING! And guess who was there? None other than George Lucas, the creator of "Star Wars" himself! Anthony Daniels (voice and body of C3P0) was there, too. The writers of "Robot Chicken" were there, too! Seth Green and Matthew Senreich (the creators of "Robot Chicken") were there also. Seth Green played as an extra in the show.
There was a fight between Boba Fett and Indy Jones, Princess Leia instead of Marion Ravenwood, Stormtroopers instead of German Soldiers, and Han and Chewbacca joining the fight. There was also Darth Maul as the Cairo Swordsman, a lightsaber duel between Darth Vader and Indiana Jones. Leia hit Darth Vader with the plane and Indy won, but only because it was an Indiana Jones show. They had Tusken Raiders and Jawas and R2-D2. After the show, George Lucas looked directly at me when I called his name, and when I called for Matt Senreich, he actually came over for a picture! I ran into him again at the Star Tours Closing Ceremony and he remembered me!
The way Star Tours went down was Boba Fett throwing a grenade into the building because Darth Vader thought the ride was a disgrace to the Sith. At the Jedi Training Academy, as the young Padawans fought Darth Vader, Ahsoka Tano and Ventress (from StarWars: The Clone Wars) battled on the bottom. There was a Star Wars fireworks display (onetime and one time only)! The Fireworks probably cost over one thousand dollars! It was lighting up the whole sky! Anyway, the new Star Tours ride will be set in between Star Wars Episodes III and IV, which means that Pod Racing will be featured in this ride! The new ship that you will be riding in is the Starspeeder 1000 apposed to the 2000 everyone is used to. I have a Sneak Preview Star Tours Starspeeder 1000 Limited Edition 10,000 from Celebration V! I am pretty sure they are sold out of them. It has lightspeed sound effects, engine sounds, an R2-D2 that has sound effects from him and the doors open and the seats are all there lined up in front of the screen. This event was very awesome and I loved it!
