Maybe they were for installation of the Osborne Family Spectacle of Dancing Lights?Saw multiple cranes in the backlot area at Hollywood studios 2 days ago. Not implying it's for this at all, just putting in something that could relate. Ill take pics when I visit tomorrow

I can't wait to see some actual art work. I'm keeping my fingers crossed that they go all out and don't rely on the popularity of the franchise.
Disney just acquired lucasfilm a little over a year ago.
Certainly true. I am more curious to know what the project will entail. We can all be confident that there will be a project and that it will be more than a gift shop (already have one of those). Maybe a sit-down restaurant accepting 1 DDP credit!Exactly, being privy to a project early in development makes people rather impatient here. This project seems to be on roughly a similar timeline to Avatar, but announcements aren't being made before imagineering has even been informed. I'd expect we'll be seeing artwork in the next year or so shortly followed by construction as the project is approved by the BOD roughly in October 2014.
Likely a 2018 timeline unless they really want to speed up the timeline, but realistically it's not getting out the door in 2016 and while it would be awesome I highly doubt they will launch two major theme park projects in 2017.
For anyone who think it's not going to happen, I give you Avatar. If Iger wants something done he makes it happen come hell or high water. The problem being he tends not to want a lot of things the fanbois do. In this case though he clearly wants more Star Wars as part of his legacy. So it is coming, in time...

Actions speak louder than words... Until cranes are on site and actual building begins, I take nothing Iger says with any merit...
Record attendance at WDW in Q4 and decent increases over last year on a year to date basis. Can any of that be credited to FLE? Who knows. Probably more impact from foreign tourists and a recovering economy, but it didn't hurt. With FLE the MK is more packed than it already was making DHS and AK stand out even more than they already did as sore thumbs.What has the financial impact of new fantasyland been, parentsof4?
