Ever dreamed of being the hero of your own Star Wars adventure? On Disney’s Star Tours attraction, one lucky guest per flight gets chosen as the “Rebel Spy” – and yes, there are ways to increase your chances of being selected for this coveted role!
The Secret Mission
For those unfamiliar with the experience, at a crucial moment during your Star Tours adventure, the Empire presents a photo of the “Rebel Spy” they’re hunting – and it’s actually a picture of one lucky guest in your cabin! Being chosen as the Rebel Spy adds an extra layer of excitement to your intergalactic journey.
Strategic Tips
While there’s never a guarantee you’ll be chosen (the Empire works in mysterious ways), here are some proven strategies that might catch the attention of the Flight Crew:
The Basics
- Keep your 3D glasses off until instructed to put them on
- Face forward naturally, making it easier for the camera to capture your image
- Maintain good posture in your seat – proper spine alignment is crucial for any Rebel operative
Advanced Techniques
- Perfect your “secret agent” expression – a subtle, knowing smile or slightly mysterious look can work wonders
- Practice your pose while watching the pre-show video (but don’t make it obvious!)
- Establish a friendly rapport with the Flight Crew (Cast Members), but remember: subtle enthusiasm beats over-the-top excitement
Important Notes
A word of caution: wearing shirts that explicitly state “Choose me as the Rebel Spy” or similar messages might actually work against you. The best spies maintain their cover!
Also, keep in mind that young Padawans (children) often get priority when it comes to being selected. After all, the Rebellion is always looking to recruit the next generation of heroes.
