Disney's Amazing Addition: Ahsoka's Epic Journey to Star Tours Unveiled for 2024!

Highlights

Breaking new ground, Disney Parks is set to introduce the first-ever representation of Ahsoka Tano from the Disney Plus series Ahsoka into the iconic Star Tours ride. This historic move shatters the previous convention limited to the presence of characters solely from the mainline Star Wars movies.

Ahsoka's presence in the ride hints at a possible new narrative arc and ties to the upcoming "Mandoverse" crossover film.

With her immense popularity and status as a role model, Ahsoka is an ideal selection for the ride, enriching the Star Wars franchise substantially.

Ahsoka Tano's utilization of Finding Nemo tactics for intergalactic transportation may have already made her a trailblazer, but it seems her journey doesn't end there. The iconic Disney Parks' attraction, Star Tours, is about to welcome Ahsoka as its newest addition, and the significance of this cannot be understated.

Anyone who has experienced Star Tours at Disneyland, Walt Disney World, or any other Disney Park worldwide will be familiar with its captivating concept. Guests embark on a thrilling adventure aboard a transport, venturing through eccentric scenarios inspired by the Star Wars films, all guided by the comedic piloting skills of C-3PO. However, there are exciting developments on the horizon. Ahsoka, portrayed by Rosario Dawson in the acclaimed Disney Plus series, will now be the very first TV show character to join the esteemed ranks of this attraction, a distinction previously held exclusively by the beloved characters from the mainline Star Wars movies.

During Disney's recent D23 event, it was officially announced that the Ahsoka series will be incorporated into the Star Tours ride, marking the first time a non-movie installment from the Star Wars universe will be included. According to the official Disney Parks blog, Ahsoka will join the popular Star Tours attraction at Disney’s Hollywood Studios in Florida, Disneyland Park in California, and Disneyland Paris starting next spring. The extent of new additions, whether limited to Ahsoka or expanded to include others, remains uncertain.

Disney Parks surprised many with their announcement of new upcoming scenarios for Star Tours. While some may have expected news of The Mandalorian, the inclusion of Ahsoka is a welcome surprise. Ahsoka has become an exciting addition to the franchise, captivating audiences with her journey of self-discovery and search for long-lost friends and enemies. Despite the immense popularity of The Mandalorian, fans won't be disappointed by the inclusion of Ahsoka and other characters from her show. Ahsoka's recent appearances in the game Fortnite and now in Star Tours may not just be about capitalizing on her popularity, but could also indicate the start of a new story arc leading to the highly anticipated "Mandoverse" crossover movie from Dave Filoni. Perhaps the new Ahsoka content in Star Tours is the first glimpse of something similar being set up.

Regardless of the circumstance, Ahsoka is an ideal addition to the journey, particularly since the character recently made appearances at Galaxy's Edge in Disneyland. Little girls worldwide now have a fresh role model, while everyone else can still indulge in the presence of an incredible character. At the very least, this alone justifies it as a prudent choice. Ahsoka's new episodes are released on Disney Plus every Tuesday, while the character is scheduled to join Star Tours in the spring of 2024.
