Star Tours – The Adventures Continue at Disney’s Hollywood Studios is the second incarnation of the park’s original Star Wars-based motion simulator and debuted in 2011. For this attraction, guests board a Starspeeder 1000 piloted by C-3PO and encounter a number of planets, characters, and scenes spanning the Skywalker Saga.
Part of the appeal of this attraction is that the planets, characters, and scenes you encounter on your ride are randomized! Where you go and who you’ll see could be completely different with each ride! But just what planets and characters from that galaxy far, far away can you expect to encounter during your flight?
For Star Wars fans, it’s a question worth asking! Especially if you’ve always wanted to experience a pod race or fly at an AT-AT on Hoth or visit Coruscant. So for the sake of science, here’s a breakdown of what scenes and characters you may experience during your flight on Star Tours – The Adventures Continue! (Caution, spoilers ahead!)
The Escape
Your ride begins as a passenger aboard a Starspeeder 1000 which takes off accidentally with C-3PO as the pilot even though he’s not the official pilot. The speeder is then stopped by one of the following villains looking for a Rebel Spy who happens to be a randomly selected guest!
Option #1: Darth Vader accompanied by Stormtroopers uses the Force to prevent your Starspeeder from escaping. Possible Option: Boba Fett may appear with Vader and the Stormtroopers.
Option #2: A probe droid latches on to your Starspeeder but is stopped by the Millennium Falcon. Possible Option: Either Han Solo or Rey will use the Falcon to help.
Option #3: Kylo Ren accompanied by First Order Stormtroopers attempts to prevent your Starspeeder’s escape.

Planet #2
After receiving the hologram, the speeder arrives at one of the following planets:
Option #1: Naboo
The speeder drops into a space battle over Naboo and then journeys to the planet’s surface for a dive into the ocean near Gungan city. While passing through the planet’s core, scary sea creatures from The Phantom Menace make an appearance. The speeder eventually ends up in a hangar. Possible Option: There are two ways the pit droids may react.

Option #4: Exegol
Above the planet of Exegol, the Starspeeder tries to avoid being hit during the battle between the Resistance and the Final Order from The Rise of Skywalker. The speeder successfully helps take down a Star Destroyer.
Option #5: Geonosis
