[Idea] When are we going to get Star Wars land?

[JediPrincess]

So when are we going to get Star Wars land? We have a Bug's land and Cars land, when are we going to get Star Wars land? I am hoping soon!

idk but I hope its in a 3rd park so that it does Star Wars justice and that franchise doesn't interfere with DL too much. Heck, I'm surprised why Lucas never built a Star Wars theme park.

Personally, the Disneyland resort does not need to have Star Wars Land. There are enough good lands at the moment. However, it would be great at WDW, as they desperatly need something new, and not a clone of another land, Cars Land.

Re: When are we going to get Star Wars land?

Possibly never? The only park worldwide thats had any sort of rumor of getting a Star Wars land is Disneyland Paris and even thats a sub land of Tomorrowland. Not saying California will never get a Star Wars land, but where would it go? Wouldn't really fit anywhere in DCA and it could possibly go in a Tomorrland expansion, but I've heard more Avengers and Marvel rumors than Star Wars for that. I think if California does see a Star Wars land it would be in a third park.

Re: When are we going to get Star Wars land?

Since they can't have Marvel in WDW due to Universal, I see Star Wars having a big presence in FL. Besides, they already do Star Wars Weekends. I think it would just make the most sense there.

Hopefully never, the Jedi training academy are both in TL and in my opinion that's plenty of representation in the park.

Re: When are we going to get Star Wars land?

Whatever they do, hopefully it will be themed around the original movie and/or its two sequels. I disliked the new ones so much that I got rid of the DVDs. There were certain elements of them that I liked, but in general I'm of the opinion that they should not have been made; they weren't neccessary.

If Disneyland gets one, I would hope it would be an expansion to the park and not a makeover of Tomorrowland as "Star Wars Land".

Re: When are we going to get Star Wars land?

Who said we were ever getting one? I hope it doesn't happen, since there's no proper fit for it.

Re: When are we going to get Star Wars land?

Hopefully never :beg:, but a separate park themed entirely to Star Wars might be kind of cool.

I really think that is the only way to do it justice. There are so many worlds to explore that it would be hard to put it all into one land without making it feel like a bunch of rides clumped together.

There's nowhere for Tomorrowland to expand to.

Who said expand Tomorrowland? I was referring to a park expansion as an entirely different land. I specifically said I don't want to see a Tomorrowland makeover.

I concur with this. Star Wars Land really wouldn't fit very well at either of the Anaheim Parks, and the ideal place for it is in the already Lucas themed corner of DHS. That's the right place for a dedicated Star Wars land, not Disneyland.

Re: When are we going to get Star Wars land?

Since Disney purchased Lucasfilm and the Star Wars franchise, I always thought park expansion based on Star Wars attractions needs to go to WDW where they have the necessary room to do justice to the project. The Star Wars weekends are hugely popular and new attractions would have guests pouring into the resort hotels. And I'm a west coast guy. The only way it would in the Disneyland resort is if the never ending clamoring for a 3rd Gate finally comes to fruition.

Re: When are we going to get Star Wars land?

Incredible that you asked that question, as I was just speaking to a friend of mine who works "at the park" just yesterday, about this very subject. She said, though it's not "official" right now, that they have started to relocate the employee parking over by CA, and have told the employees that in 2015 the Star Wars land will be opened there, and that they "may have" a tunnel going from Tomorrowland to SW land, or it may be a shuttle, like "Star Tours" that will transport you from Tomorrowland, thru "space" and then touchdown in SWland, which sounds like a great idea. I don't know how they would pull it off like that. The employees were told that it will be a "third land", with a separate admission required, just like WDW!
She also told me that they were planning to relocate Star Tours to that land, and put the shuttle transportation area where Star Tours is located right now. Might be just another rumor, or just a bunch of BS, but that's what I was told.

Oh, yeah, I almost forgot, she's kind of mad because the "exec" that was reporting this news stated that the opening was going to be on a certain date in 2015, which just so happened to be the SAME day as the opening of the "Harry Potter" area in Universal Studios, Hollywood! Her family and her are BIG Harry Potter fans, and they are all really ticked off about it!

Anyway, just a rumor right now....

Re: When are we going to get Star Wars land?

I rather see Stars Wars and Marvel in a seperate park rather than a Star Wars Land, :)

Re: When are we going to get Star Wars land?

Take this with a grain of salt, but I have it on good authority (from the guy with the "will work for food" sign on the corner of Harbor and Katella) that Denny's will be leveled in order to add Mustafar to the park.

The ideas for the third gate involve a unique transportation from the Esplanade to the employee parking lot. Makes sense, you buy your tickets for whatever park/park hopper, and have your choice of DCA, Third Gate or Disneyland. Doubt that they would also have this transportation system also go to Tomorrowland, waste of space.

Anyway, that is supposedly the reason why the Esplanade has a lot of temporary structures, they are figuring about pulling the trigger on the third park, if they do they'll probably totally change the Esplanade to allow for one end of this transportation system.

Re: When are we going to get Star Wars land?

Speaking as a massive Star Wars fan; I even liked the prequels and Clone Wars; I hope never. As has been said already, there is more than enough Star Wars represented in Disneyland. I'd just like to see Tomorrowland done in the most spectacular, non-franchise-specific way possible. If they want to include attractions from specific movies or whatnot, that's fine. But there are a lot of good ideas out there that they don't need to simply base a land off of a pre-existing property.
Even though I've little doubt they'd do it well.
