History of Hasbro Star Tours Action Figures
In 1987, a new motion simulator attraction "Star Tours" was introduced to Disneyland theme park and later to other Disney theme parks. From 2002-2005, Hasbro created exclusive carded action figures to commemorate the ride. The figures are based on the droids found throughout the attraction.

There were plans to also include some of the Wave 1 figures in this assortment, however they were cancelled. Some sample figures were created, but never officially released.
