Our friends at Yakface.com have just posted images and details for two new Hasbro Star Tours action figure sets.

INTRODUCING THE NEW 2013 STAR WARS® Star Tours™ Action Figure Packs from Hasbro

The celebration of the amazing new Star Tours Disney theme park ride continues in 2013 with new STAR WARS Star Tours Action Figure Packs from Hasbro.  Building off of the packs released in 2011, these two sets of figures introduce new Droids from the ride experience as well as a few reprised fan favorites.  New figures include a blue Signal Droid, red RX Droid, a G2 Droid rebuilt from scratch for more accurate detail, and the very first appearance of a new Seeker Droid!

These packs launch in May 2013 at Walt Disney World- Hollywood Studios during STAR WARS Weekends and will be available at Walt Disney World stores in Florida and Disneyland Resort stores in California shortly thereafter.

Experience the magic of the ride and then relive the action with the STAR WARS Star Tours Action Figure Packs!

A long time ago in a Glendale far, far away…

One of the true highlights at the D23 Expo 2011, for us especially, was The Making of Star Tours: The Adventures Continue, presented by Imagineer Tom Fitzgerald.  Much of what was shown to the audience was previously revealed in our interview with Tom back in June but during the presentation there were more details, more stories, and most importantly, more concept art to go along with them.   It was a joy to experience the linear backstory of the attraction and for those who weren’t able to attend, we have a summarized version and many of the concept art as well.

This will be a year long remembered: 2011, the year that Disney and Lucasfilm deliver the goods of what is now dubbed STAR TOURS: THE ADVENTURES CONTINUE.  To everyone else, it’s just Star Tours.  Fans have waited years, even decades for this new attraction after rumblings were leaked that a script for a new adventure involving podracing was complete.  Nobody really knew for sure just how much longer they had to wait but now that the wait is over, it was worth it!

It’s been a busy weekend for Star Tours as Cast Members were able to get their own preview of the attraction on Sunday.  The queue effects are all in working order as is the attraction itself.  The marquee has been looking spectacular at night and as the Disney Parks Blog executes their Star Tours Meet Up on Friday, expect more updates from us in the coming week!

And following up with our Star Trader update last week, you will find additional photos from the store including some from the layover in the Starcade.  According to some front line Cast Members, the Starcade merchandise set-up will remain through the summer but we’ll of course try to find a more concrete answer for you.

The Star Tours Mural at Disneyland was recently updated to reflect the new Starspeeder 1000 paint scheme.  Fans should be hapy to see that the Death Star remains intact, meaning that the odds of experiencing a portion of the classic attraction may be fairly decent!
For the eagle eyes, there is Aurebesh written underneath the astromech droid sockets that translates plainly to:

“ASTROMECH DROID SOCKET”
