You know, the first time I saw TPM, I thought the pod race scene was perfect for Star Tours.  Same with the Zam chase scene in AOTC.  I only wish Disneyland in CA did a true SW Weekends like WDW in FL.  I am in an acronym mood.  MTFBWYA!   :shock:

I kind of wish they had stuck to the theme of the original trilogy, but I suppose it makes sense for this new generation.

I DO like the pod race, though. :)

Either way, I will be happy to see it... if I ever get down that way again.

I miss my annual pass  :cry:. Me and my daughter used to go down on kamakazi trips from Salinas twice a month. Get up at 4am get there by 11am, close the park at midnight and drive home another 6 hours. Body won't let me do that anymore  :lol:, but I am sure she would. Eight more years and she can drive me down there!

I'm on vacation down here in California this week and we're going to Disneyland on Friday.  Glad I'm able to see the original Star Tours one last time before it gets a make-over.

The pod race scene definitely could be fun in a motion simulator though.

Now why do you have go hating on Jar Jar, huh? Come on, if it weren't bungling there wouldn't be an Empire!  :wink:

So, really, we should be doing an "All hail Jar Jar"!  :mrgreen:
