Star Wars Land announced for Disney's Hollywood Studios

[Master Yoda]

It would devote too much of the park to one IP. As great an IP as it’s fans may feel it is.

I am just going to weigh in here so my opinion is on record.

I am perfectly fine wit them converting every square inch of WDW's 40 square miles worth of property to SWL.

Imo, there must be balance in the Force. So for every Energy closure/non-fitting IP addition (rise of the Dark side), there should be a new Star Wars Land added somewhere at WDW (awakening of the Light side)...you know, just to restore balance.

I rest my case.

If they do build another land devoted to Star Wars at WDW, I would imagine it would be in a park other than DHS, as Universal did with their WWoHPs. Otherwise, most of the Star Wars fans would end up visiting DHS exclusively, while all the non Star Wars fans would avoid DHS. Disney wants to maximize the number of parks their guests visit

one of the brilliant things about Pandora is the lack of music in the land in most places. They do play music around Pongu Pongu and Satuli but out in the land you hear animal sounds, really well done
my sense is you ll hear music in the land at least around the market place and food and bev

WDI was using Pandora as a test (to an extent) on BGM. It drew a lot of parallels.

This is what I am hoping they do with SW:GE. If they are going for full on immersion, music better come from a band. Any BGM should be the sounds of the city (eg crowd noise, traffic. etc).

This is what the intent is, kind of a blend of Pandora and Grand Ave. You may hear a few piped in sounds, especially near the ruins. Once you enter the village, a lot more hustle bustle will be heard/piped in. Don't be surprised if some of DJ Rex's sick Jamz or the cantina singer's kewl beats "spill" out of their establishments, providing a sort of BGM aka the stereo on Pongu.

Could they build another SWL at MK similar to DL? I think if it means upgrading the scenery around the ROA like at DL, even if it's shortened a bit, it would be a great addition.

And a follow up to that:

Does Disney already have plans for a second Star Wars planet to be made into a land?

Considering they’re following HP’s footsteps in every turn for this project, I can’t imagine them not having at least thought of a 2nd SWL

If you want more Star Wars then pay to stay for a few days at the Star Wars 360 hotel. They get to upcharge you, you get more immersive activities, and yet it doesn't require the infrastructure of an additional SW land/park.

It should take over Future World over at EPCOT

As much as I LOVE Star Wars, I would probalby shed a few crocodile tears if that ever happened for real However, I could get behind a New Republic embassy showing up somewhere around the lake.

Not sure I want the entire 40 square miles converted. But I'll take 1,000 of the remaining developable acres for a SWL and a couple of SW hotels.

 

[LAKid53]

Holy Batman, are those X-wings?! I'm getting really excited now. And I bought my son-in-law and me X-wing and TIE fighter battle drones for Xmas - my neighbors will hate me next week....

*rubbing hands together in gleeful anticipation*

The perfect answer to hopefully what was a joke.

 

[The Empress Lilly]

I'd have Jar-Jar Binks over Nemo. And Kylo Ren can have visited EPCOT as a kid...

That SW taking over FW is no less idiotic than what really happened to EPCOT is just painful.

 

[HauntedMansionFLA]

The perfect answer to hopefully what was a joke.

Not a joke at all. Unless you can have attractions more like Frozen available. DHS, even with half the park under construction, is better than EPCOT. And for everyone who wants the EPCOT to return, “Let It Go”.

5th gate? I know they have to fix the four parks and two water parks first.

It would have been a perfect fit.

Absolutely. Down the road, in the future.

Absolutely. Down the road, in the future.

They will have a lot of movies to use their content in the parks. SW is a money machine.

Ah.
