Iger says Star Wars expansion will be bi-coastal, and in foreign markets

Posted | Contributed by Jeff

In an interview with Bloomberg Media, Disney CEO Bob Iger at the very least confirms that expansion plans are underway. The use of the word "expansion" is telling, because that implies that the rumors of a "Star Wars" overlay for Disneyland's ailing Tomorrowland section of the park are indeed true, as are the plans to devote a large section of Disney's Hollywood Studios to all things "Star Wars."

I'll be pretty upset if they overlay Tomorrowland. I really like it the way it is. The cheesy nature is what makes me love it. Then again, DLR's Tomorrowland does need SOMETHING to bring it back to life.

well if you're concerned about Anaheim, best be prepared to be upset. DLR Tomorrowland is definitely getting Star Wars-ed. Florida, whatever it gets value engineered down to, will be at the Studios.

How could you do Star Wars in Tomorrowland when clearly it happened a long time ago?

I think that was resolved 26 years ago when Start Tours was first built.

Well, Anaheim is kinda far, far away.
