 Walt Disney World reopened its Star Tours attraction Friday with a march of Star Wars characters and fireworks.
Lightsaber-wielding George Lucas and Walt Disney Co. CEO Robert Iger were on hand at Disney's Hollywood Studios for the kick off event.
George Lucas said he had been working tightly with Disney on the Star Tours project for at least three years.
George thinks the new attraction is "amazing" .
A hord of characters were present, including Luke Skywalker, Princess Leia, Han Solo, Chewbacca, C-3PO, R2-D2 and Darth Vader.
Fans lined the streets for the procession of characters and the opening of the ride, which had been closed since August. The old attraction was quite dated and not very popular.
The newly updated attraction now has a new 3-D film and more than 50 possible ride scenarios.
The ride is now open at Disney's Hollywood Studios.
