It really didn't. I also saw it around 2000 and it was tedious. It FELT like you were sat in a rattly old box being forced to watch cliched scenes from the movie.
@@disneyboy3030 Hey, if they don't have still REX animatronic they can still rebuild him, probably update it slightly technology-wise to make him more expresseive and smoother while still do what he did in the original.
Me too. After all, Disney California adventure did the limited events of soarin over California during food 🍱 and wine 🍷 festival from March to late April.
@@zerastarcatI'm fairly certain it's a matte painting because the view extends all the way to the Death Star's "horizon" and shows a much bigger field of view than the trench model could possibly have encompassed. I assume whoever painted it used a photograph of the first frame after the transition as a reference but only for the center of the painting.
The whole thing is off the charts in terms of production quality for 1987. They must have used the full ILM rig together with the OG models. Just outstanding.
Mind blowing amount of work for what was basically just a theme park ride. I was blown away by the whole thing when I rode it as a kid back in the 80's, now you've gto these things in every mall with small rigs and cheap CGI reels... nowhere near as immersive.
When I was a kid, I remember getting this massive book filled with Star Wars' history, behind the scenes, and concept art of the original trilogy and the prequels, which were still coming out at the time. That book also contained a CD which had a track with an audio recording of this entire ride. Back then, before I had access to any sort of internet, it was incredible to imagine what the actual ride would've looked like and thus I had to use my imagination to fill in the blanks. I swear, I must've listened to that recording a hundred times. It's now incredible to see what the real deal looks like as if I'm fulfilling a longtime childhood wish.
I had the big book of spaceships, the one with the droids and the one with the tools and weapons. I wore them thin and imagined endless stories from those pages. These days I can get so much more info on the wiki but my kid's fantasy is no longer what it once was :(
I rode that so many times. I actually felt the movements of the ride while watching. So awesome. Back in 87 we went to DL one day and the ride was probably about a week from opening. As we were walking by a worker opened the door and said free preview. We were so stoked. Got to be one of the first to ride it. Back when Disney was magical.
what great memories. In 1987, Jedi was released 4 years ago, and this was the ONLY Star Wars fix you could get, aside from trying to buy all the harder and harder to get merchandise. I was SOOO excited that day. One of my favorite parts of the ride was the LINE to get in. If others went, you'd remember it was through a hanger bay, surrounded by TONS of Star Wars tech. And there was a big screen above us with "flight departure" information and ADVERTISEMENTS. To THIS day, the one advertisement I remember most is.... "Ski the slopes of Hoth!"
You are bang on ! The big ATAT that looked over you as you joined the que. The in flight safety vid had Chewbacca and an Ewok that kept getting it wrong !
As much as I've tried to convince myself that Star Tours 2 is better, I have to admit the nostalgia of the original just can't be beat. The current one has some great moments, but there was something raw and special about this one and I miss it so much.
it’s also because the original was made with *practical* effects, all of the new ones are 100% cgi if i’m not mistaken. there’s a documentary you can watch of the team that made the film for this ride :)
Well, that's a kick in the nostalgias. My first family trip to Disney was in 88' when I was 11. My dad and I were so blown away by this ride that right after we got off we wanted to get back on the line and do it again. I remember my sister and mom going off to do something else while he and I waited the 2 hours to ride it again. Great memories, I'm glad this is still watchable all these years later.
i went on this ride in the late 80's... i still remember how i felt, i was jumping in and out of my seat, squealing in delight when it was the attack on the Death Star and the trench run... as a 6 year old, in those moments between the attack ont he Death Star and the launching of the proton torpedos into the shaft, i felt like i was actually one of the X-Wing pilots... it was so exhilirating... it actually makes me tear up a little bit thinking back to that time as a child, when my parents were still together, and the fear of melanoma was not in my father's eyes
I think you might get a kick out of this homemade version of the original Star Tours that was built for a birthday party... ua-cam.com/video/bZKr9TmtnX0/v-deo.html
God I loved this ride. It's criminal they didn't bring back Paul Reubens for the updated version, especially now that he's passed away. It was awesome he got a lifetime pass to Disneyland for doing this lol
The license can change hands again, parts can get replaced or struck from canon, you never know. Disney has enough non-Disney stock holdings that it can survive failure as an entertainment / culture-setting company. But even that cushion can vanish with time.
I'll never forget the OG Star Tours, especially since Captain RX-24 still gets quoted sometimes around my family. I rode this several times starting at the first time I went to Disneyland in October 2005 (I was 5, being born in 2000). This was one of the things that got me into Star Wars altogether.
@@rainbowrunner1550 Mando is just a pointless show that is going absolutely no where Mando and Grogu are not even relevant in the very long run in the shitquel trilogy and all Kenobi did was make more fucking retcons by saying oh yeah Obi Wan fought Vader again before A New Hope and he had the chance to kill him which was his one fucking job in the first place given to him by Yoda but he just let's him go and gives that job of killing him to Luke instead Obi Wan should've just killed Vader right there he could've saved millions of lives that Vader would slaughter throughout the next 9 years.
@@andrewcabral963 Whatever. Say what you want about the recent Star Wars content. I didn't intend for my simple comment about admiring the OG Star Tours to stir up a debate like this.
I still get goosebumps when you enter the trench run. It felt just like the film. I do enjoy the new Star Tours but this was just a perfect encapsulation of what Star Wars felt like. Not even just the ride itself but the line queue as well. I remember luggage was being moved around on the ceiling by metals baskets and a bunch of protocol droids slacking off in the work space it had real feeling of being lived in.
I was fortunate enough to attend a 1986 open house at WED in Glendale, CA while the attraction was being developed. We got a preview ride in one of the simulators when the special effects in the film weren't yet complete. Even with everything not being finished yet, everyone knew that this was going to blow people away. On a side note, at that same open house we got a preview of Splash Mountain. It was a miniature built at eye level so you could walk through it as if you were in one of the boats. It was incredibly detailed.
My wife and I went on Star Tours at Disneyland in 1991. The passenger seats were in a giant flight simulator, so you felt acceleration, braking, banks etc. It was extraordinary-the illusion of space flight was so real. A once in a lifetime experience. I’m 62 now and would give anything to ride Star Tours once more.
i was there in 91' maybe we were in the same cabin! it was cool but the motion sickness was real, even though the ride barely moved i can tell it was out of sync by a fraction of a second and it made me sick
I did in in 1993 in Florida… and 2012 again with my kids with the new footage. Now I get to fly full motion flight simulators for a living. But it’s mostly hours of boredom interspersed with seconds of sheer terror.
…and add a $3000-6000 home motion-platform and you could almost have the real ride! Just needs a 3D ship/theater interior for VR with all the seats and the screen at the front, and there you have it!
Knowing this is all optical with motion control miniatures, it kind of boggles me to think about just how complex everything is. I don't think there are many model shots in the original trilogy with such a complex camera move. So much bluescreen work, so many calculations to make everything move together as if it were all in the same 3D space. I'm blown away
For those who didn't get to ride this attraction, imagine the torso of a robot pilot on the left side of the view screen, moving around during this entire ride, made it feel very real seeing your droid rookie pilot.
Saw this in 1991 with 6 years in Paris the Force Feedback was insane. Half this Simulator, half rest of the Park. Then again with 11 years in 1996. I never thought anyone in 1000 years would be able to dislike Star Wars, but Disney can do it.
There was no better experience at Disneyland in the late 80s & early 90s than this. Absolutely loved it. Obviously Pirates & Haunted Mansion are perfect, but this was so fun. When Indy opened in 95 it took the top spot for me.
I was stationed at Norton AFB, San Bernardino from 87 to 93. My son and I knew Disneyland like the back of our hands and could run through the park in about 90 minutes. One of our favorites was Star Tours. This brings back great memories. I’m now 65 and my son is now 40 yrs old with 3 sons of his own. R.I.P. Paul Reubens. Thank you so much for this z ⭐️ c
When I experienced this in 2006 I had no idea it was made in 1987. It was very well done and even waiting in line was a fun experience as C3PO and other cast were there
I rode this ride a 20 to 30 times. Always loved it, and also the Journey Through Inner Space ride that used to be in this building before Star Tours. Thank you Paul Reuben (Pee Wee Herman) for the voice. Great job. So much fun to see it again.
Love how casual the x-wing pilot is about the tour being in a combat zone. Every time I went on this as a kid I always wondered why Pee-Wee Herman was piloting a starcraft.
I’m old enough to remember when this replaced Journey Through Inner Space. It was beyond amazing. My mother got an upset stomach the first time and has never ridden it again. Brings back great memories.
Thank you so much for this. This blew my mind in the mid 90s with my parents and sister going to Disneyland at the age of.. 9?. Best memories of my childhood. Honestly, thank you.
I remember this was the very first version of the ride I rode with pee-wee herman voicing the robot! Aww man I miss bein' a kid...thanks so much for uploading this!
This is a real treat because star tours was closed when I intended to see it in February 1991 with my family thank you I also wanted to say that I have an oculus go and I’m looking forward to seeing it in virtual reality.
It was only recently that i reallized that Paul Rubens (Peewee Herman) did the voice of the robot. I got to ride this while visiting disney world in 1993. It was pretty awesome getting to relive the experience from more than 30 years ago.
That was a nice treat. I'm a lifelong Star Wars fan and had never seen this before. Thank you for the trip down memory lane and the great feeling of nostalgia
It was actually designed with being able to change the films/adventures in mind, but I wish they had kept the original adventure along with the new ones they have now.
@@MrBrian-pr6jk The adage of "If its not broke dont fix it" is dumb. We'd still be living in caves if we stuck to that attitude. Gotta try new things, and fail fast and often, its the only way to improve.
The last time I visited a Disney park was California Disneyland back in 1990. I only really have memory of 4 rides: Space Mountain, Pirates of the Caribbean, Captain Eo and Star Tours. I enjoyed Star Tours so much that I went on it twice. So good to see this film again after all these years.
I rode this for the first time on March 4th 1994 which was the same day that Indiana Jones grand opening day was also.both are amazing rides and my favorites of all time.
"Disneyland Paris closed their versions for conversion in 2012 and 2016" Never knew that, that means I first went on it when it was Euro Disney in the 1990s then its last year in March of 2016 because when we went on it, it was looking tied and dated but still good. It hadn't changed since the 90s. And then the walk out through the arcade was also the same as the 90s.
@0:55 on the right you can see part of the "shrink ray" from the ride this replaced, "Adventure Thru Inner Space". I've never been able to confirm it, but I think the baskets that used to carry the droid parts (in line) were also mechanisms from the Inner Space ride.
Dang, all the feels. Grew up in SoCali in the 80s and 90s, and this was always our favorite ride. Love the new one, too, but this is great nostalgia. Thanks for posting!
THIS is what I remember, thank you for presenting it so well. I really don't like how they've changed this ride over time (heck, now it doesn't even make sense, having prequel stuff AND Darth Vader (and did they change it again to bring in lame Disney Sequel stuff?). This ride was really special to me, thanks for bringing the nostalgia.
My parents and I went to Disneyland in the early 2000s and I was mesmerized by this ride. Very sad to see it changed when I went back last year. This was peak.
I remember riding on this as a little kid and it pretty much being the most amazing thing in the entire world. Doing the deathstar run was the pinnacle of my existence at that point lol
I really miss this version, and consider that the new ones contained multiple possible scenarios, I don't see why they couldn't just keep this one in with the others so that people can still experience it from time to time.
I am thrilled to see such high quality original images. It brought back memories of the many rides I took at Disneyland as a child. Thank you for posting this.
This is legitimately the best version of Star Tours. The new scenes are more thrilling, but because they’re randomly stitched together they’re also less engaging from a storytelling perspective. I wish they brought back some version of the classic layout.
That classic star wars feel, NOTHING beats it!
That classic feel is long gone.
seriously holy crap just bring this one back, Disney completely sucked the life out of this ride with the new version
When I rode this back in 2003, I had no idea it was as old as 1987. It still wowed us in the 2000s.
When I rode this as a kid in 2010 I thought it was something recent! Cant imagine what ppl thought of it in 87!
Physical props are timeless, no CGI
@GTXDash-How, it is in pop culture that it came out in the 80's lol
It really didn't. I also saw it around 2000 and it was tedious. It FELT like you were sat in a rattly old box being forced to watch cliched scenes from the movie.
Not everyone can be a miserable fuck.
I'm 61 and I saw this in 1987. I was 25. Thanks.
Was 17, here. This does bring back some good memories.
Twinsies! I’ll be 62 in October. 😂

I’ve been to Star tours when, I was 6 years old. Only in 2003.

I know! His "ha ha" gave it away lol
According to Wookipedia, RX-24 (Rex) was built by "Reubens Robotic Systems"
I couldn’t tell, at least from Rex and Pee Wee Herman’s voices
I hate how you can tell it's Paul Reubens.
I always thought the ride was trying to copy the pilot computer in Flight of the Navigator (which was Paul Reubens)
This was so incredible in the '80s. There was nothing else like it. So glad I got to see it again!
Me too.
Still incredible a few years ago imo

Crashing through that ice wall freaked me out so bad as a kid. That ride vehicle shook hard.
In my heart, this will always be more canon to me than anything Disney has made in the last ten years.

I’m old enough to remember when this replaced Journey Through Inner Space. It was beyond amazing. My mother got an upset stomach the first time and has never ridden it again. Brings back great memories.
I remember journey through inner space.
Pretty sure my ears tell me the droid pilot was voiced by Paul Reubens, aka Pewee Herman.
And you’d be right. 😊
Behind the Attraction agrees with your assessment.
Makes the ride MORE epic.
He did drop his signature "ha ha" somewhere in this short film.

Thank you so much for this. This blew my mind in the mid 90s with my parents and sister going to Disneyland at the age of.. 9?. Best memories of my childhood. Honestly, thank you.
Brings back memories too 🎉
I remember seeing this as a kid with my grandfather back in 97, what an amazing memory.
they need to bring this back.
without the 3D.
it was perfect.
This is better than the Disney sequels. I'm not even being sarcastic, I enjoyed this more, on UA-cam, not even on the real ride.
This five minute clip was indeed better than the entirety of the prequels and sequels.
@@IssanCaliRefugee This five minute clip is dogshit lmao
Quand comparer celui qu'il y a maintenant, celui-là est tellement génial !
I remember this was the very first version of the ride I rode with pee-wee herman voicing the robot! Aww man I miss bein' a kid...thanks so much for uploading this!
The Atari arcade references are outstanding in this ride.
This is a real treat because star tours was closed when I intended to see it in February 1991 with my family thank you I also wanted to say that I have an oculus go and I’m looking forward to seeing it in virtual reality.
It was only recently that i reallized that Paul Rubens (Peewee Herman) did the voice of the robot. I got to ride this while visiting disney world in 1993. It was pretty awesome getting to relive the experience from more than 30 years ago.
Disney needs to bring it back .i went on that ride 2 times in 1990s when i went to disney world. Good memories.
That was a nice treat. I'm a lifelong Star Wars fan and had never seen this before. Thank you for the trip down memory lane and the great feeling of nostalgia
i saw this in disneyland in 2012 and even then i was still immersed wow, they did not need to replace it
It was actually designed with being able to change the films/adventures in mind, but I wish they had kept the original adventure along with the new ones they have now.
… if it ain’t broke- FIX IT, right? 🤦🏻
@@MrBrian-pr6jk The adage of "If its not broke dont fix it" is dumb. We'd still be living in caves if we stuck to that attitude. Gotta try new things, and fail fast and often, its the only way to improve.
3:31 Paul Reubens, Is that you!?! The VO went all Pee-Wee in Space!
The last time I visited a Disney park was California Disneyland back in 1990. I only really have memory of 4 rides: Space Mountain, Pirates of the Caribbean, Captain Eo and Star Tours. I enjoyed Star Tours so much that I went on it twice. So good to see this film again after all these years.
I rode this for the first time on March 4th 1994 which was the same day that Indiana Jones grand opening day was also.both are amazing rides and my favorites of all time.
Definitely needs to bring this back, the original one is definitely superior plus you don't need glasses to ride lol.
i love the old space mountain
This is probably the clearest I've ever seen this footage! Very nice!
"Disneyland Paris closed their versions for conversion in 2012 and 2016" Never knew that, that means I first went on it when it was Euro Disney in the 1990s then its last year in March of 2016 because when we went on it, it was looking tied and dated but still good. It hadn't changed since the 90s. And then the walk out through the arcade was also the same as the 90s.
THIS IS THE STAR WARS EVERYONE IS LOOKING FOR!!!!!!!!
This is the BEST version of Star Tours on UA-cam, I love it!
RIP Paul Reubens. :(
me too we went to the same cinema he always was shaking and left after 5 minutes???????
Man I knew that was him!! Can't mistake that "hahah" laugh!
@0:55 on the right you can see part of the "shrink ray" from the ride this replaced, "Adventure Thru Inner Space".
I've never been able to confirm it, but I think the baskets that used to carry the droid parts (in line) were also mechanisms from the Inner Space ride.
Dang, all the feels. Grew up in SoCali in the 80s and 90s, and this was always our favorite ride. Love the new one, too, but this is great nostalgia. Thanks for posting!
THIS is what I remember, thank you for presenting it so well. I really don't like how they've changed this ride over time (heck, now it doesn't even make sense, having prequel stuff AND Darth Vader (and did they change it again to bring in lame Disney Sequel stuff?). This ride was really special to me, thanks for bringing the nostalgia.
This was about 1000000000x better than their current videos. What a travesty to lose this masterpiece.
Some of them are quite good, even if they are mostly CG.
core memory unlocked... especially the part when you enter space in that big screen moving box theater room ... thanks for the childhood memory ;)
@0:55 look at the "Mighty Microscope" at the right, which is an homage to the "Journey Through Inner Space" attraction that Star Tours replaced.
I remember this from 88 or 89 as a kid. Good times but it definitely would give people motion sickness
My parents and I went to Disneyland in the early 2000s and I was mesmerized by this ride. Very sad to see it changed when I went back last year. This was peak.
Rode it a hundred times back in the day… one of my favorites
I remember riding on this as a little kid and it pretty much being the most amazing thing in the entire world. Doing the deathstar run was the pinnacle of my existence at that point lol
I've been a fan of Freaked since I was a kid and had NO ##$$& CLUE that Keanu was the Dog Boy. Like I am legitimately gobsmacked.
This was a comment on video that apparently ended before I was able to finish and post said comment.
Great restoration! I've seen the similar original footage videos on UA-cam, but they never looked quite right.
I really miss this version, and consider that the new ones contained multiple possible scenarios, I don't see why they couldn't just keep this one in with the others so that people can still experience it from time to time.
Paul, we love you.
I am thrilled to see such high quality original images. It brought back memories of the many rides I took at Disneyland as a child. Thank you for posting this.
Agreed 🎉
This is legitimately the best version of Star Tours. The new scenes are more thrilling, but because they’re randomly stitched together they’re also less engaging from a storytelling perspective. I wish they brought back some version of the classic layout.
that was so cool, thank you:)
Just went on the Star Tours in 2022 and this 1987 version looks way more realistic...
I have not been on any of the new Star Wars rides. Let me guess, they all use a massive amount of CGI right?
@@mr.robokat7993 Smuggler’s Run and the new Star Tours use CG, but Rise of the Resistance actually uses mostly animatronics.
@@cheeseburgerowl937 🎉cool info
I haven't seen this since I rode the ride in the early 90s, yet I vividly remember all of it. Thanks for uploading this!
Oh, the nostalgia! I went on this at Disney World the year before it was closed for the big update!
this was one of my fav rides at Disneyland...i saw this in the late 80s-mid 90s
Thanks for Posting this!!!
Fun to watch on a big screen, had to lean front back and side to side for added effect!
Thank you for posting this.
This is what I remember seeing when I boarded this ride on 1997 I was 13 at Disney mgm studios 🤯
Bring this back permanently.
