Why I scheduled myself to be the one to introduce this week’s Pic of the Week, Star Tours, I’ll never know. I usually try to match the topics with the interests of Scott and Lisa and myself. For example, Lisa got to introduce Princes – that totally makes sense, right? Unfortunately, I know very little about Star Wars, and therefore Star Tours. They’re kind of related I think. I do know I like the ride – it’s WAY fun! But if I tried to share any tidbits of trivia with you, I’m afraid I would probably just end up offending someone. So I’ll just get on to the photo”¦

This is the outside of Tatooine Traders, the merchandise shop that you end up in at the end of your Star Tours journey. It was remodeled sometime ago to resemble the Mos Espa village in Star Wars Episode I: The Phantom Menace. Pretty impressive that I knew that, eh?
I copied it from the Star Tours page.
I know I’m impressed! The most I know about Star Wars is “Luke, (heavy breathing) I am your father (more heavy breathing).” Also, I thought Star Tours was gonna be about… well… Stars! Like, famous people. I was very disappointed!
Barrie’s reply: That’s funny! I’m sorry you were disappointed though. At least it’s not about the Big Dipper and the Milky Way.
