It does seem odd. I would they would want the Pixar Playarea where the Backlot tour used to be ready to go by this summer. If not, the MK will be unbearable with the crowds. I wouldn't mind seeing CarsLand too

I'm betting my money the announcement is happening at D23 this summer. That's the next best logical announcement date.

True, they can make a grand announcement and presentation to show what will be done.

That would be disappointing, as i would hope construction would be well under way by then

Yep, hopefully they are at least prepping the area for whatever is going in there. I don't under stand closing all of the different attractions without something ready to go. Star Wars land needs to be at least as big as Avatar Land.

I think you're in the wrong thread.

I'm actually excited about AvatarLand. I just want Star Wars Land to have the best themed land around. If AvatarLand sets the new standard, then SW land will hopefully get lots of love.
great question you would think those announcements might be separate

I have a theory that they might go the universal route and not announce the toy story expansion until it's closer to being ready and they would announce Star Wars land at D23 or Star Wars weekends

Considering this will not be open until 2021 - wake me when Disney DOES something,

Any big new announcement may take away from Avatar hype. Disney wouldn't want that. Secret construction ALWAYS seems to be figured out anyways though...

When I see cranes, walls up, then I'll say they're getting busy.
They're working on removing the hat (I know it's gone but walls are still up), and adding that track to Toy Story Mania (which I assume are the "first step"/first phase of the porject), but attractions have been closed since September. It's already been five months. And to me, building behind the backlot tour and even for Star Wars, that doesn't seem like it would lead to major guest impact unless they are TRULY overhauling this park.
Things take time, I know that, but they really have to get moving on Hollywood Studios. Let's start moving a tad quicker, Disney. We know you can do it.

But there really isn't much Avatar hype yet, and that likely won't kick in until well into next year.

So feature wise, for fun, what would you want to see that would be amazing for the SW land? ..((ahem, and before all the guys here say "slave Leia"))...
Here's my wish list:
1. Central feature (area where attractions/dining/shows are based around): Mos Isley Space Port (all rides depart motion, dark or otherwise take you to different planets from this area... Makes sense, right?)
2. Dining: Mos Isley Cantina w/character meals, band, (blue milk and all).
3. Some sort of dark ride that is a hybrid 3D and sim/motion like Transformers at Uni.
...and absolutely NO Jar Jar Binks... ANYWHERE.
I cannot stand that poor-man's Goofy knock off (and I
Goofy - just not in SW). I would lose it and rip the selfie-pole out of some chanting Brazilian tour member's hand and beat the character with it. <~~~~~ *Kidding*
... and I'd hope for new tech that has us all like this:
That's all I have for now - thanks for indulging me in my inferior-imagineering SW nerdette-daydream.

I'd like to see an indoor Jedi training with Yoda (like crush the turtle) for the young Star Wars fans, an E- ticket dark ride and a people eating attraction to appeals to families - a indoor water ride like splash or pirates through the different lands. One can hope. You have a great list thereSo feature wise, for fun, what would you want to see that would be amazing for the SW land?

A "people eating attraction" as in a dining/character feature or a sarlac that eats people, (preferably guests who line jump?)
I LOVE the training with Yoda idea - how cute would that be and a definite enhancement from the one they have now.

Yea I would like this as well except I wouldn't want it to be screen based like crush. Give me a killer AA of Yoda that can move around a stage area that would be elevated just enough so couldn't see his feet. I wouldn't want anything simulator based. I would like to see a Darkride, coaster, flume hybrid maybe set on Endor as the E-ticket. Oh, and a slave Leia meet and greet at the end of a Jabbas palace walkthrough.

You had me at "dark ride coaster," but sadly, lost me at Slave Leia.
