I think this could be huge for DHS. Combine Star Wars, Indiana Jones, The Muppets, Pixar, and now Marvel... If they do it right, people would forget the name Harry Potter. However, being a fan of Marvel, and seeing how Disney has let The Muppets go to waste, it concerns me for the future of...

Well, maybe I overestimated the size of the Anaheim Convention Center. McCormick Place here in Chicago is the largest Convention Center in America with 2.2 million sqaure feet of convention space. We do have shows that take up the entire facility. With regard to some of your comments, we...

That would be the worst decision ever made...

Was wondering if anyone out there had access to the Convention Center during the Setup for D23. I work part-time at the convention center here in Chicago. Generally, a show the size of what D23 looks to be takes anywhere from 1-2 weeks for move-in and set up. They should be starting work on it...

Well, I guess I have to catch up on my EU...

Who the heck is Ben Skywalker? The love child of Admiral Thrawn and Lobot?

I will have to do some digging, but I have interviews with both Lucas and Sansweet that date back to around 1997 that clearly state their view on the EU at the time. In fact, The Lucasfilm Fan Club (now Star Wars Insider) did a story on the legitimacy of the EU and basicly reiterated what I said...

I read an inteview with Steve Sansweet, and according to him, Star Wars "canon" is the films only because they are stories George Lucas created. Anything else, i.e. novels, Star Tours, comics, video games, etc. are officially considered part of the "Expanded Universe". Apparently, when Lucas was...

I know, I'm just not a big fan of that area. Fake storefronts and cardboard cityscapes always kill my Disney buzz when I walk through that area.

Wouldn't they want it on Disney property though? That might involve 2 separate admission fees, 1 for the SWC and 1 for DHS?

I am certainly no insider, but from the seemingly legitimate Rumors that have been floated concerning filming and ILM projects, I would bet an announcement of ST 2.0 is likely, as well as maybe an announcement of the next SWC happening at WDW in conjunction with the opening of the new ride. But...

I agree with you completely. I also think that Streets of America is a horrendous waste of space. I understand they do the Osbourne Lights during the Xmas season, but couldn't they easily decorate a different part of the park? If you combine that area with the backlot tour area, imagine the...

The 501st is a fan group that, yes, appear at various functions. They do alot of charity related appearances as well as appearances that are officially sanctioned by Lucasfilm. For example, when Lucas was the Grand Marshall in the Tournament if Roses parade a few years back, the parade featured...

Well, I think updating it will be great. It is in dire need of it. There is so much new technology out there, ST looks so dated, it's almost embarrasing if you compare it to The Simpsons Ride or Spiderman. I'm such a huge SW fan, can't wait to see the details, and ofcourse the new ride.

Just curious, but was the rumor concerning the updated Star Tours having multiple beginings, middle's, and endings ever proven legitimate? I would assume this update may include a new exterior design and line queue. When I was in WDW this past June I was thinking it would be cool if the...

Let's hope so!

I hope it's announced, with significant details, and I hope it closes for the refurb by the end of the year so it reopens by our trip next year in late July. I'm keeping my fingers crossed!

Personally, if Indy Speedway were removed, I would like to see it replaced with a Wall-E dark ride or attraction. Also, on another note, I'd like to see the Treehouse in Adventureland be replaced with something, anything...

Well, I've seen the blueprints and read most of the threads. I must say some of you have an incredible insight into MK, FL, and how Disney operates. My 2 cents is this, the plans strike me as legitimate, however, I think they are either incomplete, a rough draft, or a work in progress. Certain...

The 3 coasters you mention are exactly what I was thinking, but the mention of the bus terminal and the front of the park was new to me.
