Star Wars Headed to Hollywood Studios in 2016

I am a Star Wars fan, but not a fanatic. Hopefully they deliver something fantastic eventually.

There is a whole generation of kids today that love Star Wars just based on the Clone Wars and Rebels cartoons and really don't know much about the original trilogy at all! I think Harry Potter will cross generations like this just because the books are so beloved, but you never can be sure. This is going to be huge and they should be ashamed of themselves if they screw it up. But there is no shortage of people visiting, so even if they blow it the first time, it seems like they will always have plenty of $$$$$ to fix it.

You can add my 3 year old Star wars fanatic niece to that list. She started watching Lego Star Wars on tv and is FULLY obsessed now. The actual movies scare her but she is all in on the characters.

As far as Disney buying out the Marvel licensing with Universal, my understanding of the contract was that as long as Universal pays the royalties and acts in good faith with the properties (nothing that disparages or lowers the value of the characters in some material way), the deal can run indefinitely. I have not seen the contract or have first hand knowledge, that is simply the way the arrangement was explained to me by an insider.

That being the case, Universal has little incentive to let Disney get it back without either (1) a King's ransom or (2) a very strong desire to re-theme that section of IoA. They can keep the Marvel characters there until the end of time so long as they abide by the terms of the arrangement.

So let me just ask this....there WILL be some more Star Wars goodies in Dec 2015 prior to the new movie?? Yes?....cuz I'd be excited to see that for sure!!! Our family plans a trip to DHS in Dec...and I am beginning to 2nd thought our choice of going there what with all the new posts I see all the time of some additional attraction being shut down/revamped! ...so again my question is: there WILL be new SW attractions when we go Dec 2015???

Attractions? No. Attractions take a long time to develop & build. It will be years before we see new attractions. You're talking four months from now.
