Holy gently caress, the backstory is even more retarded. It's something a fan made for a contest and later they declared that all the contest entries were canon.

Nckdictator posted:Sure, i'm honestly curious, how was it? Pretty drat cool. The ride is a 3-D motion simulator which is very cool since the 3-D gives depth instead of the cheap "pop out" tricks that's used all the time with regular 3-D. I know the ride has multiple experiences/outcomes, so here's what I saw in mine: ***SPOILERS*** The ride starts off with C-3PO accidentally taking the place of the Captain. R2D2 then forces ship to begin taking off and then all of a sudden Darth Vader and a group of Stormtroopers stop us! Darth Vader says something about their being a Rebel spy hiding within the ship (this part is really cool cause on the side screen the face of one random person sitting in the cabin shows up, people get a great laugh out of that). We try to escape, but Darth Vader pulls us in with the Force and starts shaking us around. We escape by shooting some lasers at Vader, but he blocks them with his lightsaber and sicks two Tie Fighters on us. We're flying out in space for a bit, dodging Imperials and the the like, until eventually R2D2 throws us into lightspeed (this is when the next randomized event happens). We ended up right in the middle of the Battle of Hoth, with a Snowspeeder pilot showing up on the screen telling us to get out. We fly right through the battlezone for a second and get shot down by an AT-AT walker, which then causes us to start sliding down a giant mountain side. A lot of twists and turns in this part, we eventually fall down a giant cliff before we somehow get out of Hoth safely with another lightspeed segment. We're floating in space when all of a sudden a hologram transmission comes in. Princess Leia appears, and gives us the coordinates to where we can safely take the Rebel Spy. This is a good part in the ride to catch a breather. Once the transmission is over off we go again into lightspeed, going to whatever coordinates we were given. This time we ended up right in the middle of the Naboo Space Battle. We're escorted down into the planet by some N-1's, and then in we go into the waters through the Gungan colony (you see Jar Jar and the Starspeeder runs him down  ) . We're swimming around a bit and then we get attacked by the undersea monsters, including a really great moment where one of the things has us in its jaws. Eventually we fly out of the water and land into a hangar where we successfully deliver the Rebel Spy. End of ride. **NO MORE SPOILERS** A very fun ride. You really do have to ride it multiple times to see it all.

Goddamnit Jorge It's funny cause while waiting in line you see Pee Wee Pilot Droid in a box, with a sticker on him labeled 'DEFECTIVE'. He'll randomly spout lines from the old ride. It's actually really creepy, he's just rambling on like some sort of old war vet.
