Star Tours was a travel company utilizing its collection of Starspeeder 3000s to provide service to numerous locations. Specifically, during the time of the Clone Wars, it provided holiday excursions to Glee Anselm, a planet that is the water-covered homeworld of the Nautolan species. To schedule these trips, one could call 1-800-555-6576. The droid known as R-3X was once an employee of Star Tours, where he served as a pilot of a Starspeeder 3000.
The initial reference to Star Tours within the new Star Wars canon occurred through an advertisement for the organization in "Lightsaber Lost," the eleventh episode of Star Wars: The Clone Wars' second season. This canonical animated series episode was initially broadcast on January 22, 2010. Its origin traces back to the 1987 Disney theme park simulator ride attraction of the same name.
