Amy Ratcliffe over at Nerdist has compiled a round-up of all the details and information that we currently know about the development of the new Star Wars Land theme park additions set to arrive in Disney in the near future. Some of the information contained in her article you may already be aware of while some of it you might be reading for the first time, so check out the intro below and make sure you take the supplied source link for all the provided details.
When Disney purchased Lucasfilm in 2012, I was excited about the prospect of more Star Wars films, obviously, but I couldn’t stop thinking about what the acquisition meant for Disney Parks. Star Wars already had a presence in the parks with Star Tours: The Adventures Continue, Jedi Training Academy, and special events, but oh, the potential—especially after seeing the level of immersion Imagineering nailed with Cars Land at Disney’s California Adventure.
My dreams about more Star Wars at Disney parks came true at D23 Expo in 2015 when Disney CEO Bob Iger announced Star Wars-themed lands were going to happen. Since the big reveal, construction has gotten underway and we’ve learned some information, but still not the official name for the additions. Have patience. This post will be updated as Disney releases news, but for now, this is everything we know so far about the upcoming Star Wars-themed lands.
