1. Not that bad at all. I have lower back problems and I was unable to ride it before the rehab (I had ridden it many, many moons ago and remembered the "jerky" motion). Hubby took the kids on first, promised me it wasn't bad, and I went on. I loved it!!! My back didn't hurt at all afterwards.
2. I haven't ridden Mission Space, so I can't really answer that questions. But, based upon what I've heard, no it's not. Mission Space is kinda like a centrifuge, spinning you around. Star Tours makes you actually feel like you are in a moving vehicle.
3. No, it does not go upside down.
4. I loved it!!!! So excited when I got to see the Wookie planet (I'm a Chewy fan!)
If you have motion sickness, it depends on what your triggers are. I have a friend who enjoys roller coasters, but the 3D/simulation aspect of this ride is difficult for her. She said it wasn't as bad as a roller coaster simulator she once rode, but she did need to close her eyes during a couple of parts.
Other than things like that that may be triggers for certain people, I think it's one of the more tame thrill rides at WDW. Certainly not anything like Mission Space. And yes, I really enjoy it
