Bruce couldn’t wait to hop onboard a Lightcycle and experience the ride firsthand. He shared a video of his epic excursion on Twitter!
Disney Parks Blog caught up with Bruce and Cindy to reminisce about the original movie. They shared how their imaginations played a pivotal role in filming scenes.
Digital details were added later on, causing them to film in predominately plain environments. It’s so exciting to see these stars still passionate about the iconic franchise!
