Star Tours 2.0 Opens May 20th at Disney's Hollywood Studios

As we first reported last year, Disney has been giving their Star Wars attractions a facelift and now they've finally announced that Star Tours: The Adventures Continue will open at its Hollywood Studios theme park at Walt Disney World resort on May 20th 2011.

The Star Wars-themed ride at Disneyland in Anaheim (which is also getting a makeover) previously hadn't been updated since it opened in 1987 so fans were delighted last year when the rumors of a revamp were confirmed.

Star Tours 2.0 will take fans on a 3D ride to Coruscant, Bespin, Endor, Alderaan and other destinations in the Star Wars universe where they'll be able to interact with characters from both the original trilogy of films and the prequels.

C-3PO will be the pilot of the new ride, which will also feature two new characters, Ace, a new pilot, and Aly San San, the "spokesdroid", voiced by Allison Janney. The new ride also has a new soundtrack from film composer Michael Giacchino (Lost, Up, Star Trek).

Check out a trailer for the ride here.
