Disney/Star Wars Theme Park Update

The Walt Disney Co. obviously has big plans for the Star Wars property, with a slew of films lined up for the foreseeable future. But now the family-friendly company is planning to bring the galaxy from far, far away closer to home — with an increased presence of Star Wars at its theme parks.

Disney chief Bob Iger said yesterday that the company is going to have “a far greater Star Wars presence” at its theme parks in the future, according to Variety. The company is looking at revealing what these attractions will be next year, which lines up perfectly with the release of Star Wars: Episode VII.
