Yeah, like Darth Neo said there was a promotional special on Star Tours made back in the day. Highlights(?!) include Threepio and Artoo performing a rap song, and Gil Gerard hanging around talking.

There's also footage out there of the opening ceremony, which was a cheesefest on the level of the Donny & Marie Star Wars Special. But it did feature lots of costumed performers, along with George Lucas and our pal Michael Eisner cutting the ribbon with a sparking "lightsaber".

This stuff really needs a proper preservation. My friend Aaron Snyder did a nice DVD of it, dual layer, including someone's cam footage of the whole ride. He's been slowly collecting more things for a version 2.
