From Disney Parks Blog:
In 2024, we’re going to add more stories and characters to Star Tours at three of our destinations around the world... Since it debuted at Disneyland in 1987 as the first Star Wars attraction in a Disney park, Star Tours has traveled to new places as this galaxy of stories expanded. We’re looking forward to continuing that tradition next year with all new adventures... but I can’t reveal just where we’re going yet – or those we may meet along the way – because... well... some surprises are best experienced as part of the upcoming Star Wars content also announced this weekend. Here’s hoping C-3PO’s piloting skills have improved!
He's already in one of them, and there is a landing scene on Naboo. I would imagine that we're going to see Mandalorian characters at the very least, maybe Ahsoka.

Flight to the prison on "Andor," and then instead of exiting through a gift shop, you spend 6 hours in a workshop making keychains and plastic ewoks.
I just got a new scene I’d never done before a few weeks ago at DL (the Crait one from Last Jedi). This seems like such an easy and cheap way to breath new life into an old attraction, I’m surprised we don’t see it more often. Heck, they could even do some weird rarity scale and gamify it (like collectible cards). “On Tuesdays, the ultra rare Alderaan escape scene is 5% likely instead of the usual 2%. Be sure to ride on Tuesdays and catch this unique experience. Don’t forget to tap your flight log (magic band) at the end of the ride to record your stats. #AlderaanTuesdays.”

Right? I can't imagine anything more easy and cheap than filming unique Star Wars footage and syncing it with a ride system. Why isn't Disney adding a new scene every other Tuesday?
Promoter of fog.
I doubt there's anything cheap about it. CG at that level of detail is rarely inexpensive.

Sure, but CG costs somewhere between a half and two million dollars per minute. If that's cheap, I want a million dollars to be cheap to me too.

They are too reliant on screens...
In the grand scheme of Disney's budget it's not a whole lot and they get to keep a motion simulator relevant and kick the replacement can down the road a few more years.

Don't worry. At least I picked up on your sarcasm.
When you’re spending $500M on actual new rides, what’s a few million between friends?

So location guesses, I’m guessing we get:
-Mandolore
-Navarro
-The heist planet from Andor
I also expect messages from Bo Katan, Din and Grogu, and Boba.
