We were there early Dec-08 and the movie was still the same. We are going in 2 weeks again and I will have to check it out.

There have been a lot of rumors about a new Star Tours, but at this point it is still the original. They must change droids a lot, every time I ride it it's his first trip!

I really like the cute old movie. I like this ride because it is a good "little bit scary" ride for kids to prepare them for the really scary big boy rides. I hope they don't change this ride too much! Certainly not if they "improve" it like they did Rio del Tiempo, Tiki birds, Stitch etc...

That was at least 6 months ago because it was the version with Donald when we were there last Sept.

With regard to Star Tours - the actual attraction is the same as the day it opened. The exterior of the ride and some of the queue entrance & exit items have changed, but the attraction (film/story line) remains the same. Rex is still the crummy pilot . . . :D

In various fan circles, there has been a lot of talk about Star Tours 2.0 - but this rumour has been going around for well over a year now and nothing has come to fruition. :(

Hey, it's always somebody's first time...

And the Star Tours video never looks old. It plays back digitally from a hard drive, so it never gets scratched and "hairs" never get "caught in the gate" (like film), and it never gets a magnetic "tear" at the top of the screen (like bad videotape).

"Star Tours" is one of Disney World's most popular attractions. If a truly significant change in the basic story of the ride was true, it would be more publicized than this forum.
