Star Tours: The Adventures Continue*

In February 2025, the Star Tours news was not about new scenes but about availability. Looopings reported that Star Tours: The Adventures Continue would remain closed for maintenance for the rest of the month. Reopening was expected on Saturday 1 March, after work through Friday 28 February. For Disneyland Park guests, the impact was noticeable because Big Thunder Mountain was also absent from the ride lineup for an extended period. Star Tours is a high-capacity indoor attraction and an important pillar of the Star Wars offering in Discoveryland. During the closure, fans still had Starport: A Star Wars Encounter and Star Wars: Hyperspace Mountain. The article places the attraction in the daily reality of park operations: even a simulator with plenty of digital variation still needs physical and technical care. For visitors the message was mainly practical, but historically it shows that Star Tours remains maintenance-sensitive years after its major renewal.

In March 2024, Disneyland Paris announced another major step in the evolution of Star Tours. Looopings reported that from 5 April the 3D flight simulator would receive scenes from recent Star Wars productions, including The Mandalorian, Ahsoka and Andor. Guests could encounter Grogu and The Mandalorian, while Peridea, the planet from Ahsoka, would also become one of the possible destinations. The update was not limited to Paris; it would arrive at the same time in the Disney resorts in California and Florida. For Star Tours, this was more than a small addition. Since 2017, the attraction had officially been Star Tours: The Adventures Continue, built around changing destinations. After these new stories, more than 250 combinations would be possible. A simulator rooted in the 1990s was therefore still connected to the newest Disney+ series through its renewed system. For fans, the news confirmed that Star Tours remains a growing Star Wars platform.

In December 2019, Star Tours again showed how quickly the simulator could move with new Star Wars films. Looopings reported that The Rise of Skywalker became part of Star Tours: The Adventures Continue at Disneyland Paris during the film's cinema week. The Starspeeder took guests to the ocean moon Kef Bir, while pilot C-3PO received help from Lando Calrissian, played by Billy Dee Williams. One striking detail was that the ride was temporarily no longer random: for the coming months, passengers would receive the same route so everyone could experience the new scenes. Later they would return to the mix of combinations, which the article said would rise above one hundred. For visitors, this kept the attraction current at the exact moment the film was in theaters. At the same time, the language issue remained: the Paris ride was generally in French, with only occasional English runs on request.
