Star Tours to No Longer Mix Places and Character Sequences:


According to WDW News Today as of this Friday November 17, guests riding Star Tours at both Disney's Hollywood Studios and Disneyland will only find the sequences and characters from the latest trilogy. The old characters from Episodes I-VI will come back at a later time and date. 

A whole new opening sequence featuring characters from "The Force Awakens" and "The Last Jedi" followed by the Jakku sequence and the brand new Crait sequence from Episode VIII. 

When the old sequences and characters return guests will have a choice by either riding the newer sequences or the sequences from Episodes 1 through 6. This isn't expected to take place for another 6-12 months however.
