Star Wars-themed Land To Open in Disneyland Paris in 2015?

When Disney announced that James Cameron had agreed to help develop "Avatarland", fans were divided. While the diehard Avatar fans were thrilled that Disney's Imagineers were going to bring the world of Pandora to life, there were others who were less than pleased. Some even questioned why join up with Cameron when they already had a franchise cash-cow to deal with: Star Wars. In 2010, Disney relaunched their Star Wars-themed attraction, "Star Tours" into "Star Tours: The Adventure Continues" featuring Anthony Daniels reprising his role as C-3PO in the middle of an all-new 3D adventure. Fans were overjoyed. But what if Disney put their resources into building a full-length Star Wars-themed environment for one of their parks? It could be sooner than you think, but not where you might expect...

That's right! Disneyland Paris! Apparently, some Imagineers have revealed plans for a "more expansive Star Wars experience including a Jedi Academy and possibly an eatery that looks like Mos Eisley Cantina". This would also replace another Lucasfilm attraction at Disneyland Paris, the George Lucas-produced Francis Ford Coppola film "Captain EO", starring Michael Jackson. Apparently, Disneyland Paris is now the only place in the world with the original 1987 "Star Tours" attraction. This upgrade would retire the old attraction with the new version and set up the expanded experience.

It's the rest of the world that gets all the cool Disney rides and attractions! Supposedly, a TRON: Legacy-themed roller coaster and a Marvel-themed land are going to be put into Shanghai Disneyland as well! Would you make the trip halfway around the world just to get closer to that galaxy far, far away?
