Since 1987, Star Tours has been giving guests “greatest hits” from the Star Wars universe. Through the decades, guests have been given the experience of doing the trench run as they join the Rebel Alliance in attacking the Death Star, take part in a podcast race on Tatooine, or even join the Battle of Crait!
Through the years, there has been one Imagineer who has been a central part of making this attraction magical. Chief Storytelling Executive/Senior Creative Executive at Walt Disney Imagineering, Tom Fitzgerald has been working on Star Tours, and now Star Tours: The Adventures Continue, for four decades. He is still incredibly passionate about this attraction and the guests who ride it today!
In this episode of Daps Magic (the Podcast), Mr. Daps takes a look at Star Tours through the years and shares some moments with Tom Fitzgerald as well. This includes media events for Star Tours: The Adventures Continues and the recent Season of the Force media event at the Disneyland Resort. Join us as we look at this classic attraction in its different forms and visit a galaxy far, far away!
