DISNEY DISH WITH JIM HILL
A GALAXY FAR, FAR AWAY GETS A LITTLE CLOSER
If all had gone the way the
Imagineers intended, the Studios' new
Star Wars
land (planned for the vicinity of Streets
of America and Mickey Avenue) would already be under construction. But Disney CEO
Bob Iger was supposedly concerned that the screenplay for the next movie wasn't up to

back to 2015. But don't worry—it won't be long now till you can stroll down the streets
of Tatooine and ride a Speeder Bike through the forests of Endor.

sters. The presentation is intense and sometimes loud, but most preschoolers handle it
