Earlier today, the Disney Parks Blog posted a list of characters making an appearance in Star Tours 2.0. In addition to the original droid characters of AC-38 (Ace) and Ally San San, we'll be seeing:

Admiral Ackbar
Boba Fett
C3PO
Chewbacca
Darth Vader (with Stormtroopers and new "Skytroopers")
Princess Leia
R2-D2
Yoda

Aside from a few canon concerns, it looks like we're in for quite a ride.

Looking good so far and no sign of Jar Jar!

[The Dark Lord of the Sith]

Glenn and I were briefly talking about the Cannon issues. But then the first Star Tours wasn't exactly on point their either. Where'd that Death Star come from???

If these are sighting or if there is voice work involved it will be interesting to hear how they integrate this into the ride.

I am just looking or it to be a fun ride. I hope it is!

Correct me if I'm wrong but isn't this to take place prior to A New Hope? How would Leia and Yoda figure in to the timeline? I'm wondering how the continuity will figured in, if at all.

That's just my point. I can see a young Leia appearing on Alderaan but Yoda was hiding out on Dagobah, not exactly connecting with others in a manner that would be easy to script into an new attraction.

i imagine you may just fly over dagobah and catch a glimpse of old yoda

[Rinjo]

Maybe she will be in a pre-show film... maybe an advertisment for people to come visit the safest planet in the galaxy!!!

Are they going all 'Jeff Bridges in Tron Legacy' with Carrie Fisher for this?
