35 years and he’s still getting used to his programming. D23 has revealed a couple of commemorative pins celebrating the 35th anniversary of Star Tours, as well as one celebrating the 45th anniversary of Star Wars: A New Hope.
- D23 is celebrating the 35th anniversary of a beloved Disney Parks attraction in Star Tours and the 45th anniversary of the iconic film Star Wars: A New Hope.
- To celebrate, three special exclusive pins will be available in the coming days.
