Disney looking at SW Land for its parks? Say it ain't so! Please no Disney. Stop commercializing DLand. Do whatever the fuck you want to California Adventure, but Disneyland should be above blatant tie-ins for the sake of money like that (although it's becoming more and more apparent they disagree with me on that one.) Take the new Cars Land. It's a lot of fun, but it's a great example of what's wrong. It's just marketing and (eventually) free advertisement instead of a truly unique parkgoing experience. SW Land would be the final nail in the coffin for me. Tomorrrowland's premise is basically already forgotten.

That said I grew up in the '90s and it's likely I'm just some stupid manchild too blind to see that was the park's purpose in the first place. I'm attached to how they were able to separate the park itself from their properties - yes, there are rides specific to many of them, but the areas themselves are unique. I just... oh whatever.

They gave up on that a long time ago once they started incorporating characters from the POTC movies into the ride. Heck even It's a Small World is filled with Disney characters now. At least they only convert the Haunted Mansion for a limited time around Halloween.

I for one have always longed for a Star Wars theme park. So I hope they do it well.
