A dreadlocked space pirate with six tusk-like protrusions from his chin serves as the host of Millennium Falcon: Smugglers Run flight simulator. The fully costumed Hondo Ohnaka audio-animatronic pivoted back and forth on feet-less legs as he repeated his pre-ride spiel that riders will hear as they wait in the attraction queue.
Dok-Ondar, the owner of a black market antiquities shop in the land, will barter with customers who want to haggle over prices. Imagineering show programmer Amy Goodwin peppered Dok with questions and the surly alien creature responded in an alien tongue.
“He has two moods,” Goodwin said. “He can be happy or frustrated.”

They had me at "audio-animatronics" and especially because it has a real face instead of relying on a projection. They do amazing work when they are allowed to.
