Star Wars Land announced for Disney's Hollywood Studios

Cappadocia

I don't believe they've filmed there, but that would be an awesome setting and definitely lines up with The SW Experience.

That was just the first think I thought of from the concept art. Would be perfect for a Star Wars planet.

If someone asks to not be called something, it is quite rude to keep doing it. Borderline bullying. Please stop doing that, It is sad when you find that funny.

Where did they ask not to be called "Pam"?

I will need to recheck my email, but I am pretty sure I did not get the memo.

It also says nothing in their signature regarding this.

You would think that if someone was so offended by being called by the name they gave themselves on a forum they would 1: Not use that name and/or 2: Put up something in their signature.

Amazing! I think I will feel out of dress if I'm wearing my usual Florida garb. Hopefully we will also be able to buy clothes that will make us feel like we fit in!

This is why I use my actual name in nearly every forum where I am an active member. If Pam doesn't want to be called Pam he needs to give us an alternative.

Well I guess the art at the 20 second mark confirms the location.

Looking at this angle it really makes me think they are going to have to push past the perimeter road to make the land fit.

Yep, this appears to be the final nail in the coffin for SWL going in the echo lake area.

Thank you!

There is room within the current bounds of the park. This is about 14 acres.

If anyone has a higher res version, I'd love to see it.

It's actually a bit of a departure from Disneyland (no second level walkway for instance, no elevation changes). A few pieces of artwork they showed are for Disneyland and not really representative.

Here is roughly the land that has been cleared at Disneyland overlaid on DHS. Pretty good ffit.

I'm well aware 14 acres fits inside the park boundaries as I've drawn up probably a dozen possibilities myself. What I was getting at is the photo makes it look as if starwars land has more depth than what is currently available. I'm sure it's just artistic liberties but it makes you wonder.

They always take those artistic liberties along the edges of concept art because they don't want to show what is actually there like back stage facilities and access roads.I always liked the Fantasyland concept art that had rolling hills as far as the eye could see.

So based on this looking much different than the art for Disneyland (ie. rockwork / layout), are we expecting the land to actually differ? Or is that again just the artists?

Hard to tell right now. It does seem like the Battle attraction entrance area will be markedly different in appearance/layout.

Oh, no. That NFL art work is totally accurate. If you look close you can see the Winter Garden Town Center out on the horizon.

So is the second attraction (First Order experience?) another Buzz Lightyear/Toy Story-style ride?
