Disney: Closing Star Tours :(

Its a sad day kids :( Disney has announced the closure of Star Tours at Disneyland (Jul 27) and Disneyworld (Aug 8).  The ride is pushing 20+ years old and the "Imangineers" are giving the ride an overhaul.  The new version will consist of a pod race (think Episode I) on Tatooine.  If it wasn't bad enough George Lucas ruined retooled a franchise we all know and loved, the Jar Jar Binks mindset will now infect Disney. 

Come 2011 we'll be speeding around in pods with little Anakin.  Oh how could I forget the most important part... IT WILL BE IN 3D! blah.
