...Rowman, what are these clips like you're talking about?

In late 1986, Gil Gerard (Buck Rogers in the 25th Century) and Ernie Reyes Jr. (the kid from Surf Ninjas and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles II), hosted 'A Vacation In Space', promoting the Star Tours ride at Disneyland. C-3PO and R2-D2 also made appearances. The show takes a peek at how Star Tours was made and also at the history of space travel and space-flicks. At the end, Ernie actually goes on the Starspeeder, giving away some teasers of the ride itself. However, most notably, at the beginning of the special, R2-D2 and C-3PO do a rap song which ends up being the highlight of this 17 minute 'commercial'.
