As expected, Disney has announced they will be developing an increased presence of the Star Wars films in Disney parks. The official statement came from CEO Bob Iger when he said, "When we grow Star Wars presence, which we will do significantly, you will see better bets being made that will pay off for us than were made in the past." This was simply a matter of time with the extended Star Wars Weekends in the parks every May, Star Wars characters in the parades, and the Star Tours ride at Hollywood Studios. Now, the answer to expanding Star Wars is probably expanding Hollywood Studios to include a Star Wars themed area built around Star Tours (as this will probably happen for Marvel one day, as well). It'll be interesting to see how it all comes along!
Definitely interesting to see how things progress, especially with the new movies coming!
