The yr 2005 was already an essential one for Star Excursions, nonetheless. Though as beforehand talked about Star Excursions launched with components of the experience teasing different locales for the attraction, the unique experience by no means acquired updates past the Endor journey. However at Star Wars Celebration III in April 2005, Lucas confirmed, in the end, that the adventures would certainly proceed.

With the prequel trilogy about to conclude with Revenge of the Sith’s launch in Might of that yr, a brand new improve to Star Excursions would be capable to incorporate places and concepts from the prequel trilogy, in addition to broaden on components from the unique trilogy past Endor.
