This week, there has been a small update from the Disney Parks Blog on the new Star Tours II attraction. The news is about who the new pilot of the Star Speeder will be. There was word there would be a new pilot named AC-38, also known as Ace. With the storyline it seems that, as you are getting ready for your ride, he is the one who will be your pilot. The surprise comes when you load into your Star Speeder and see not Ace, but a much more familiar droid is driving, one by the name of C-3P0! The story as to how 3P0 becomes the pilot has not come out yet, though I am sure it must be a good one. From what I remember, he really hates space travel, which may make for a very interesting flight. It was also announced that Rex, the pilot from the original Star Tours, would also be featured somehow in this new attraction, though his part is still unknown.

Living in Delaware her whole life, Jessica did not know much about Walt Disney World until she went at 13 years old. That initial trip, though, got her hooked on the magic. As the years went on, she did everything she could to learn more about Disney (including watching documentaries and reading books). She did not know many people that shared her passion until she discovered the wonders of the internet and the Disney community found on it. She has gotten involved with as many Disney projects as she can, including writing the weekly news articles for The Disney Driven Life and writing for her own blog, The True Disney Fan. Jessica has also taken on a position with Celebrations Magazine, working the social media aspects of the publication. Through all these platforms, Jessica strives to bring as much Disney magic as possible into her everyday life, and she works to share it with everyone she meets!
