RX-24

RX-24, or Rex, is an RX pilot droid for Star Tours and is a pilot of a StarSpeeder 3000. In the attraction, it is always his "first flight," explaining his erratic flying "skills." He is voiced by Paul Reubens.

Background Information
Rex appears as the main protagonist in the original Star Tours attraction and appears in the queue of Star Tours: The Adventures Continue whilst C-3PO becomes the new captain.

Rex's poor flight skills may be due to a transparent red ribbon hanging from his body reading "REMOVE BEFORE FLIGHT."

Behind the scenes
Rex went through several personality changes during the attraction's development. At first, he was concieved as a witty tour guide. Later, he was concieved as a brazen veteran--a deranged and broken-down droid left over from the Clone Wars named "Crazy Harry". He ultimately became an inexperienced rookie pilot, as the attraction's designer's wanted to have a less-disturbing character.

Trivia

 * Pee-Wee Herman's characteristic laugh is uttered several times by Rex in the attractions, and Rex actually sounds like a much-younger Pee-Wee.
