Star Tours 2 Forcing it’s way to Facebook and Florida Malls

                             
Adventure? Excitement? A Jedi craves not these things. So it’s fairly safe to say that most who enjoy theme parks are not Jedis. As we wind down closer to the re-opening of Star Tours at Disney’s Hollywood Studios and Disneyland, hype is kicking into full swing. There is now an official Star Tours 2 Facebook page, and a tour of Florida Malls.

Starting April 16th there will be a sneak peak for Florida residents near a select few malls. You’ll be able to learn about the destinations for the new ride, plus get a chance to meet characters from the attraction like R2D2 and C3po.

Here’s the schedule:

  • SAT. APRIL 16 – AVENTURA MALL – MIAMI (11A – 7P)
  • SAT. APRIL 30 – ORANGE PARK MALL – JACKSONVILLE (10A – 6P)
  • SAT. MAY 7 – WESTFIELD CITRUS PARK MALL – TAMPA (10A – 6P)
  • SAT. MAY 14 – THE FLORIDA MALL – ORLANDO (10A – 6P)

 

On top of that, there are all new images released on the official Facebook page showcasing some of the new destinations:

Star Tours: The Adventure Continues opens May 20th at Walt Disney World.

A big selling point to this is the inclusion of 3D. Kind of a big deal now that Lucas has announced all of his films will be re-released in 3D. However in this time of “High Definition” graphics will 3D really matter? Is 3D going to make a huge difference in the quality of the ride vs. high resolution 2D? I say no, but I’ll hold final judgement.

Meanwhile, a few shots behind the scenes:
