News Refurbishment coming to Tatooine Traders at Disney's Hollywood Studios

[Bocabear]

What if they left Star Tours where it is. Toned it down and connected it to present Muppets area. Then reimagine Muppets square into Star Wars but tailored to younger families. Better Jedi Academy and Tie Fighter/X-wing spinner and 4-D theater show etc.

That would actually be cute...Move Muppets to the Animation Courtyard area...and expand the Muppets branding there...Of course, then half the park would be Star Wars at that point...

They are building a whole area of Star Wars.
Grand Avenue has just been redone to give the Muppetvision theatre a place to stay.

More likely that Star Tours will be got rid of completely once the initial hype of the new land has died down. It is expected that Star Tours in California will switch to being Iron Man themed, similar to Hong Kong, but of course they can't use Iron Man in Florida.

Looks like a new trend in gift shop exits - have a path for people to exit.

I'm confused...what exactly was changed?

 

[Texas84]

Sorry if I missed it. Did they remove the movie set stuff? I'm speed reading today.

Yes it is less movie-set based.

I always thought the rock work look was ugly and cheap looking. hope they remove it from the outside too.

It's highly likely that in time, ST and TT will be converted over to something else. They probably can't afford to lose the capacity during the first year or so of SWGE being open. Eventually everything will fall into place there.

Is it wrong to hold out hope for Body Wars to go there? changing the the sign from Star to Body is an easy fix...Just sayin'

Always hated the traffic jam created by that shop exiting Star Tours. So, any amount of less clutter, even at the expense of theming, is a plus in my book.

A plus in my book would be to ditch the Banksy treatment entirely. Wishful thinking I know.

Thanks for the photos! Looks cleaner and less congested, hope it stays that way!

It looks more open and bigger than I remember it. It does not look like there is much themeing, unless cement floors and open ceilings IS the theme?

That seems to be the minimalist trend that Disney's chasing right now. It is a good idea, though, to get rid of all of the 'custom photo' stations from all of the gift shops. That ship has sailed awhile ago.

As I got off Imagination last week, a group of CMs were yelling across the way/running up to guests to come over and "try out" the picture things. I completely forgot those were still a thing...

The thing we can do on our phones for free without a green screen? The imagineers are changing their job title to "meet & greet specialist."
