They could create a playground that has the look and feel of a smaller Ewok village with tree houses, rope bridges, etc. that would be inexpensive to build yet give smaller children a place to burn off steam. Include a few nicely placed props such as the speeder bike photo op and maybe an AT-ST that is "open" from the rear for photos as well.

Maybe change Star Tours to exit through the back (this would require a lot of road rework though) and make every ending on the ride end on Tatooine. The front side is Endor (already somewhat themed) and the back is Tatooine (the side is already themed this way) but change the exit so you leave to Tatooine. This would allow the current gift shop to be refurbished, make it a SW themed snack location or a highly specialized interactive gift shop with only items like carbonite/storm trooper me. Sell high end SW merchandise here that would appeal to die hard SW fans and fit the theme.

On the backside it would be themed to the space-port and the streets of Tatooine would force guests towards the backlot express location re-themed to the Cantina and other attractions. If they do build a speeder bike coaster the front side would also continue the Endor look and feel in both entrance and exit. If they build a space based indoor coaster the exit could also lead to Tatooine and help provide the transition from Endor. There are lots of opportunities for small shops on Tatooine with a droid factory outlet, bounty hunters warehouse, and who knows what.

If they really wanted to spend some cash, you could land on Hoth and have a completely enclosed Hoth rebel base complete with an indoor coaster themed after the battle of Hoth where guests ride enhanced snow-speeders and battle AT-ATs in a slightly cooler than normal environment. This could be an augmented reality ride with projected targeting, etc. with physical sets.

Hoth would be cool. :coldfeet:

And awesome!

There will be a Star Wars land... oops, I mean Lucas land... oops I mean Lucas Museum... in Chicago!

Chicago lands George Lucas Museum

Chicago has been selected by "Star Wars" filmmaker George Lucas as the home of his "storytelling museum" that will feature the director's collection of paintings, illustrations and digital art, Lucas and Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel said on Tuesday.

Chicago beat out San Francisco and Los Angeles as host city for the Lucas Museum of Narrative Art (LMNA), which will present the history and evolution of the visual images.​
