I apologize ahead of time if this has already been discussed. But now that Disney owns Lucasfilm, or will soon, do you think they may finally make a Lucasland, or add any more Lucasfilm related things t the parks? Any cool ideas?

Do you think Disney will expand anything now that they own Lucasfilm?

Yes, they will expand their bank account and executive bonuses 
.
I would not look for any sweeping changes for a little while in the parks and if it does generate a cash surplus I would rather they bring the parks back up to snuff before any more "lands", resorts or DVC.

They will, but don't know when. What I know for sure is American Idol Experience probably will be gone before 2018 and that could be spot for doing something Star Wars. Sounds Dangerous Building also could be used for something Star Wars.

Now that We own Lucasfilm I am fully supportive of having more of a Star Wars Presence in the parks, though I think it would be wise to see the reaction to episode 7 before diving in. Plenty of time to let Avatar and Carsland settle before expanding there, and who knows what Disney World will be like then.

Lucas specifically mentioned the expansion possibility in the interview..while we all "believed the Carsland expansion to DHS was imminent"...it's possible that it could be a Staw Wars project...this deal certainly didnt happen overnight...Im sure this was in the works for some time

I hope so. I have been hoping for a Star Wars "land" or expansion for a long time before this was announced. There is certainly room for it. MUCH rather this than Avatar...
Let's not forget Disney bought Marvel as well...and have we seen anything in the parks being Marvel other than merch?

I don't think its coming for a few years, but it will happen. I'm curious if there will just be a presence in Hollywood Studios or also in other parks like Futureworld in Epcot or Tomorrowland in MK.

That isn't entirely true.Disney already has plans for a Marvel attraction, but not in Walt Disney World. Disneyland is going to have a Marvel attraction in Tommorrowland where Innoventions is currently.
Walt Disney World can't have any Marvel attractions because of the nature of the existing contract Marvel has with Universal. The contracted stated Disney can't have any Marvel attractions east of the Mississippi.

Yeah but I really do not care about Disneyland because I am not going there in the near future. I really don't care about Marvel either...but I get what you're saying bud.

This is their moment to blow Harry Potter off of his broom. The greatest franchise in all of film making belongs to Disney!
