Here's a new video that Disney has released.  It seems to be a que line video or something, but seems like we'll have some interresting destinations to visit when Star Tours reopens for business.

Update 6/14/2010:
Disney announced a few exciting elements of the new Star Tours were announced today:

• The enhanced attraction — featuring multiple destinations — takes place in between the two Star Wars trilogies, which will enable Imagineers to utilize characters from both sets of films.
  
• While the planet of Tatooine was unveiled as a destination at last year's D23 Expo, Walt Disney Imagineering Senior Show Producer Kathy Rogers announced that the bustling urban environment of Coruscant will be another.
  
• There will be several points during each journey where the audience will be able to change where the story is going. "There's an incredible number of different variations," explains Al Weiss, president, Worldwide Operations, Walt Disney Parks and Resorts. "You will rarely, if ever, see the same show twice. And it's all in 3D.

After years of rumors, CGI leaks and Frank Oz comments, Jay Rasulo, along with Darth Vader and a batallion of Storm Troopers announced Star Tours 2.0.  Jay stated that it would be opening in 2013, but Vader demanded a 2011 opening. This exciting new version will be in 3D and will contain "elements never before used in any theme park attraction."
