 Star Tours - Wookieepedia, the Star Wars Wiki
Star Tours was a travel agency that gave tours of the planets and moons in the galaxy using a 40-seat transport ship, the StarSpeeder 3000.

 Disneyland Star Tours Postcards - etixland.com
Last year, a new series of postcards appeared in the Star Tours merchandise shop in Disneyland's Tomorrowland, depicting three current (albeit never arrived at) destinations for this intergalactic travel agency, plus one new vacation destination -- the first ever from the Prequel era of the STAR WARS universe, Naboo.
Obviously no new Star Tours attraction based on THE PHANTOM MENACE blasted into Tomorrowland after that film's release – and I suspect, with good reason: Disney's financial struggles not withstanding, Episode I made an unlikely choice for new Star Tours destinations because it's the only Prequel movie of its time frame in the Saga.
With its dizzying aerial acrobatics, a Star Tours sprint through the shimmering Coruscant canyons could provide a natural free-flying environment for a new ride, but again some new resolution to the experience must be invented to complete the ride in that scenario.
