The Star Tours theme is a musical theme composed for the first of Disney's Star Tours theme park attractions by Richard Bellis. According to Bellis, he saw the music as the work of an in-universe advertising agent creating a commercial jingle for the travel agency.
Commercials and video segments advertising the Star Tours travel agency played in the Star Tours ride queue included this theme, with some variations. The commercial for the Trek to Tatooine for example included a brief, new arrangement of the Cantina Band song from Star Wars: Episode IV A New Hope. That version was first played over the credits of George Lucas' Star Tours, the short film promoting the ride on ABC, aired December 28 1986 just days before the ride first opened at Disneyland.
The song included variations of the announcement chime heard over the public address system in the queue. New variations of the theme later appeared in the revamped Star Tours: The Adventures Continue attraction, opened in 2011. The ride segments of the attractions used re-edited versions of John Williams' Star Wars film scores.
The Trek to Tatooine version of the theme was released on several Disney theme park soundtrack albums as part of a longer Star Tours track featuring music from the entire attraction.
