You could have a park with different lands: Coruscant, Tatooine, Degobah, Naboo, Cloud City, The Death Star, Endor, Hoth, to name a few. Then add in a couple of rides, a couple of themed restaurants, a boatload of gift shops ;) and you have yourselves a park. Well, in ten years you'd have yourselves a park.

However, like others have said, I think it is far more likely that they just create an immersive themed land. Here's to hoping they do it in Florida.

Oh that would be so awesome!!! Fog machines for the Dagaboh land. To make it realistic. Oh the possibilities!!!

My issue with a SW land is that it just doesn't seem to be enough. In order to make it really good, they would have to really focus on ONE aspect of it and there are just too many settings to choose from. Carsland works because it is FOCUSED. The bulk of Cars takes place in Radiator Springs and that is the home of all the main characters. Recreating RS was a perfect way to "do" a land. Diagon alley and Hogsmeade are excellent examples of this as well. For SW, how do you narrow it down to ONE place?

Let's see. Spend a billion to create a part of the Star Wars universe, or a billion to create...Pandora??? One franchise has 6 films, billions in merch sales, and has stood the test of time for nearly 40 years. The other....had a really good feature that took advantage of the emerging 3-D craze.

Three? I'm sure they'll milk it for all it's worth! Maybe thirty three?

Well that is all that is announced and under production at this point. This new trilogy is the continuing story to the original trilogy. You are right though, they will milk it and keep making them as long as it is making money.

Actually, there are at least two stand alone films that have been announced as well. From what I've read before there will be a new Star Wars film each year for the foreseeable future. Don't take that as gospel though. Always in motion, the future is....
