RX-24 made his debut in the original Star Tours attraction, which ran from 1987 (when it replaced Adventure Thru Inner Space) through 2010. He referred to himself as Captain REX, and flew the Starspeeder 3000.

It then became Star Tours: The Adventures Continue, and C-3P0 replaced RX-24.

The figure includes a tiny “Remove Before Flight” tag around his neck. The tag can be removed from RX-24, but the figure cannot be removed from its case.

RX-24, now known as R-3X, can be found in Oga’s Cantina at Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge. After crash landing on Batuu, he was given a new look by Mubo of Droid Depot and programmed as a DJ.
