What can we say that hasn’t been said by the people who knew him, worked with him, lived with him.

Steve Jobs was a perfectionist, a revolutionary, a visionary. Every little detail mattered, but still keeping the big picture in mind. He truly was a genius, and left his dent in the universe in ways many don’t even know.

Steve always knew the right words to say something, sometimes making a point with just a mere few words. And I’ll keep it like that here.

We had a chance to sit down with Marianne McLean, Visual Effects Producer for Star Tours: The Adventures Continue. She takes us behind the scenes on creating one of the most anticipated Disney attractions ever. You can read the entire interview here in our special feature archive.

We have the pleasure to introduce you to a brand new interview with Tom Fitzgerald; Vice President, Senior Creative Executive at Walt Disney Imagineering and voice of droid G2-9T in the Star Tours queue. After doing an interview with us on the history of Star Tours before, we now take a look at the completely revamped Star Tours: The Adventures Continue. Read the full exclusive interview here.

Just like Star Tours is about to relaunch their new adventures, so does our website. A brand new theme with elements based on the old themes.

We have joined the Twitter wave. You can now follow us at @EndorExpress.

Welcome dear visitors, to the new EndorExpress.net. Just like Disneyland, a website is never finished, and to follow our tradition and honor the saying, today we’re relaunching our site again.

We have moved the site from the old Joomla system to the best of CMS’s, namely WordPress. Over the last few months the site has being tweaked in content and layout, to give you the best and fastest way on all things Star Tours, Special features, and so much more! Also keep in mind that you can now also comment on news items!

It’s weird to think, just 7 years ago. It was 3 months since Attack Of The Clones was released in the theaters, when I decided to start this website. And here we are now today. On a new system, with more content then ever. And we are not thinking of stopping, au contraire,we are just getting started! With Star Tours 2 coming slowly up, we are going to see quite an amazing time.

Thank You to the crew for sticking around all these years, and of course, you visitors, almost 275.000 of you, since our launch 7 years ago.

We had a special oppurtunity to do an interview with the one and only Tom Fitzgerald. The man, no, the legend behind attractions like Star Tours, Tower Of Terror, Horizons, the revamping of Pirates Of The Caribbean and many, many more!

You can read the complete interview in our special feature section.

While in the front, nothing much seemed to change, in the background the entire SWStarTours.net / EndorExpress.net worked together in creating a new site. From now on we have some new engines under our hood, but not just that, we also have a completely new layout, styled completely in a special Droidnostic mood. Instead of a clean site, we now are in the basements of Star Tours while the many tourist on their way to Endor walk above us. But we bring you the latest in Star Tours news. From the upcoming Star Tours redesign, new merchandise, Star Wars Weekends and Conventions. We are there!

Keep checking back, as we have many features lined up! Also, note that since today we are completely EndorExpress.net!

Just, be carefull of broken wires and some unfinished areas. Our droids are working hard to finish it all up. At least if that G2-9T ever stops babbling.

Wild Whiphid tunes in with some awesome and thrilling news: our favorite G2 droids have been included for the first time in the New Essential Guide To Droids, scheduled for release June 27th! He even shared some scans, which we can’t show on the site yet, but with this new information, we did make sure a Function Grid is included with each G2 profile. You can find all of them in the updated Databank section!

There are countless Star Tours transcripts out there, but each one is filled with errors. New for 2006, our own Researcher Alex Newborn presents a version that can truly be called Complete… including the LOST SCENE for G2-9T!

We’re still calling it a Star Tours Script so it will show up the same on search engines, but Alex insists it’s really more of an exhaustive transcript. Compiled and cross-referenced from existing transcripts, numerous audio files, hours of video clips, field research, and even varied samples of the written Ewok language, the Definitive Star Tours Transcript makes its 2006 debut here on www.endorexpress.net.

You can check it out in our Special Features archive.
