Star Wars Land Rumors Uncovered


Yesterday, MakingStarWars.net revealed some rumors that they have heard about Star Wars Land at Disneyland and I would imagine for Hollywood Studios as well. Here is what they found out from their sources:

  • Poe Dameron’s black X-wing fighter will greet guests at the 3rd entrance to Star Wars Land, although an Episode VIII feature to the fighter might make it different from what we know about it from The Force Awakens.
  • Characters and creatures from Star Wars: Episode VIII will be featured in the park.
  • The Falcon will be real, life sized, not scaled down at all, and sitting on top of a launch pad.
  • The Falcon will be opening and closing its main door and aliens/ troopers will be walking around asking people if they’ve seen anyone leave the ship.
  • There will be two major attractions, one larger than “Toon Town” itself.
  • Don’t worry about not being able to go inside the Falcon. One of the major attractions will take care of that for you as you fly in the cockpit of the freighter itself.
  • The word is the Imagineers loved the Rogue One: A Star Wars Story script, but if that will come into play is still hazy. Initial word was the second major attraction would feature Rogue One content, but now that appears to be somewhat unlikely.
Now if these are true, Star Wars Land will blow everything out of the park. With two major attractions and the Millennium Falcon being a central highlight for the land and possibly the park it will blow Universal and Harry Potter away. It also sounds like WDI is trying to get this done by 2018 which is even more impressive for Walt Disney Imagineering itself since it usually takes them forever to build things anymore. None of this of course is confirmed by Disney and we will just have to wait to see if any of it is true.
