I don’t know why they referenced TRON as a futuristic look at space travel? TRON is not an outer space film. I think they included TRON to promote their film.

Actually, Disneyland Star Tours TV special was originally aired on ABC, not NBC. Can you fix your YouTube description, please?

Disney predicted the upswing in rap with 3PO! Why not with Jar Jar Binks??? 18:09 Flight Suits Were Actor's Costumes and are not Available as part of "Star Tours" Ride. 13:58 Lookin' like they should be in the 'Apocalypse Now' Air Calv LOLOL

How do you not mention 2001 when talking about the history of film depicting space? Tron isn’t even a space movie! Lol
