Darth Vader Goes To Disneyland

by Kris Van de Sande on June 4, 2011

Star Tours is back, and everyone has to know it! Disney has launched a big media campaign, with some brilliant TV Ads. We all remember the rather fun Piece Of Cake commercial, but this one does, pardon the pun, takes the cake. Even the Dark Lord himself can’t wait to ride the new Star Tours.

May 9th Disneyland Update

by Paul Hruby on May 9, 2011

The Star Trader reopened on Friday May 6th with a brand new look! The X-Wing fighter that has hung from the upper floor of the old Starcade has been moved back into the store.  Cast members say it was repainted by Lucasfilm to match exactly the props used in the movies. It’s flying pretty low so we hope someone doesn’t take a swing at it.  The UFOs are still there and don’t really seem to fit in with the new Star Wars theme but I guess having something in there is better than nothing at all. Too bad they couldn’t be turned into A-Wing fighters.
