Star Wars Park?

[danlb_2000]

Think like an executive. Here's how they think. Measure the success of Harry Potter. Is Star Wars worth as much? It's worth more. Not one or two lands worthy but an entire theme park worthy.

If they had actually done that math, then they would have a Star Wars land under construction already.

They're not good at the math we want.

It is a lot easier and cheaper just to build a new park.

That it certainly is not.

Then we would be talking about additions to the Star Wars park that has been open for 20 years.

I wouldn't rule out the Star Wars park just yet. I've actually suspecting this, but kept quiet to avoid the usual ridicule here. If you think about it, a Star Wars park across the street from DHS on land reserved for DHS is easier to build than expanding DHS.

Here's the real clincher. How many acres is that site across from DHS on World Drive? It's 300-something, I believe. How many acres for new development have they just filed for? 300-something, I believe.

I wouldn't rule anything out.

I love Star Wars as much as the next person, but I hope Hollywood Studios doesn't become too overly saturated in it.

Don't forget the rumors of a Indiana Jones reboot! Indy needs to be in the parks too!

Here's an article that has some insight into what might be the mechanics behind BB-8.

Imagine him in the parks as a meet and greet.

Don't ruin the magic!!!

Hopefully it gets fast tracked after they see how successful this movie does and tie the land and the next movie together. A little cross promotion.

The next movie after Ep7 comes out December 2016. If they wait to see the box office take on Ep7 it will be to late from them to have anything major open by the next movie. Besides, they really don't need to wait, the success of Ep7 is about as sure a thing as you can get in Hollywood.

That's true. Did they ever confirm JJ coming back for Ep. 9? I'm kind of glad he isn't trying to do all three.George tried to do that with I, II and III.

As far as I know, no confirmation, just rumors.

Not sure how I feel about a reboot, but would be thrilled if they added some more of Indy.

What if they treated the whole park like one great big Great Movie Ride? I don't mean have the entire park be a ride of course, but have lands like Star Wars and Indiana Jones and what have you set up so you feel like you've walked into the movie, but there are still aspects there that tell a behind the scenes story. They kind of have that idea now, but I feel like if they pushed it a bit farther it would be amazing.

If they reboot Indy and have a young Han Solo stand alone movie, they should have the same actor play both like Harrison Ford. Say Bradley Cooper???

I could see Bradley Cooper doing a good job. If they do reboot Indy I hope they explore more of his history with Abner Ravenwood.

I could kind of see Chris Pratt working. I've yet to see Guardians of the Galaxy (dear Lord in heaven forgive me), but I saw him in the newest Jurassic Park clip and all I could see was Andy. Of course I acknowledge that a single clip isn't really something to make judgements off of, but he just feels a bit too goofy for Indiana Jones.

No, because Uni only proved Disney wrong with the opening of their first Harry Potter attraction. If Disney execs were of that mind frame, they would not have missed their opportunity when they had the chance for Harry Potter to begin with!

Avatar is the confession to this mistake. What they do with Star Wars will make up for that mistake and run with it.

I truly believe Avatar will be a great addition to DAK with groundbreaking technology. The downside, Star Wars land can't take away the thunder of this opening.
