Three new destinations in a galaxy far, far away will be added to the mission of the Starspeeder 1000 when the Star Tours attraction at Disneyland is updated just in time for the annual Star Wars festival that now stretches to two months.
Former Jedi Knight and rebel spy Ahsoka Tano, Alliance intelligence officer Cassian Andor, Mandalorian bounty hunter Din Djarin and “Baby Yoda” Grogu will become part of the Star Tours attractions on April 5 at Disneyland, Disney’s Hollywood Studios in Florida and Disneyland Paris in France.
The updates to Disneyland’s Star Tours attraction headline the Season of the Force event returning to the Anaheim theme park on April 5 through June 2.

Walt Disney Imagineering revealed one of the new Star Tours destinations while continuing to tease the other two.
With the addition of three new destinations, Star Tours riders will be able to experience more than 250 potential randomized journeys.
Before we figure out where we’re going next, it’s helpful to know where we’ve already been.
Star Tours currently visits 11 planets in the Star Wars galaxy, according to Touring Plans. The destinations: Tatooine, Hoth, Batuu, Coruscant, Kashyyyk, Naboo, Jakku, Crait, Kef Bir, Exegol and Geonosis.

Star Tours passengers will visit the Star Wars planet of Peridea during the new Ahsoka Tano storyline, according to Imagineering.
The ancient world of Peridea is where Grand Admiral Thrawn was exiled, according to the official Star Wars website.
An Ahsoka journey might include encounters with Assassin droid HK-87, Chopper droid C1-10P or Grand Admiral Thrawn. Ahsoka’s T-6 Jedi Shuttle with rotating wings or New Republic General Hera Syndulla’s Ghost light freighter could also make appearances.
Imagineering kept the other two new Star Tours destinations under wraps for now while narrowing down the storylines to the “Andor” and “The Mandalorian” television series on the Disney+ streaming service.
