It wouldn't be Star Wars without ships, speeders and transportation vehicles, and you can find several, built at full scale, throughout the landscape of Batuu.

Millennium Falcon Smugglers Run

A-wing Starfighter

Location: Resistance Mobile Command Post

With its sleek arrowhead shape, streamlined cockpit and massive twin engines, the A-wing suggests raw speed. Used first by the Rebel Alliance and now the Resistance, it is well suited for quick strikes.

First Order TIE echelon

Location: Docking Bay 9 (First Order Encampment)

A new assault vehicle in the TIE (twin ion engine) series, this echelon shuttle is used by the First Order mainly for small troop and cargo transport.

Landspeeders

Location: Black Spire Station

There are two models of speeders in for repairs in the garage at Black Spire Station: an X-34 model, similar to one Luke Skywalker uses in “Star Wars: A New Hope,” and a Jakku speeder, built from scavenged parts.

Millennium Falcon

Location: Spaceport

Once flown by iconic smuggler Han Solo and his Wookiee first mate, Chewbacca, the Millennium Falcon is sometimes lovingly referred to as “the fastest hunk of junk in the galaxy.” The YT-1300 Corellian freighter is currently being loaned to Hondo Ohnaka, the former pirate who owns and operates Ohnaka Transport Solutions.

Sienar-Chall Utilipede-Transport

Location: Docking Bay 7 Food and Cargo

Chef Strono “Cookie” Tuggs uses this modified shuttle as a mobile kitchen and restaurant, jumping from one planet to the next as a “traveling diner for diners traveling.” It is currently atop Docking Bay 7 Food and Cargo, turning the hangar into a dining establishment in Black Spire Outpost.

X-wing Starfighter

Location: Resistance Mobile Command Post

A versatile ship balancing speed and firepower, the X-wing is a nimble starfighter used in dogfights first by the Rebel Alliance and now the Resistance. Its name comes from the “X” its four wings create when they’re locked in attack position.

I don't think it was said in the thread that 'Pixar Place' wasn't meant to exist when Toy Story Land opened. I am pretty sure it did close for a while and only reopened when park ops saw it as some quick and easy capacity by adding the Incredibles to the area.

At DLR, that blue area is basically the train and part of ROA. DHS filled all that in with a bigger berm... I just really feel like they need to do something for families with small children in this area (and in the park). I've already skipped dhs on my last 2 disney trips because there is almost nothing for my now 2 year old do to do there compared to EPCOT and MK.

You have two mutually exclusive elements in your statement: "Jar Jar" and "fun."

I’d hope not but all bets are off with current management.

I'll believe the pivot to film based once I see a Star Wars film actually make it into the theaters.

Do you think the new carousel will have one in DAK?

With Star Wars now moving back to seemingly being a primarily Film Based Franchise after 6 years or so of being primarily TV Based* I could see some more focus being placed on Galaxy's Edge in the coming years and adding an attraction that is more focused on putting us in the Star Wars Galaxy rather than in a Star Wars Adventure makes some sense to me. *As far as I can tell there is only one season of Star Wars Live Action TV in development along with a couple small animated things whereas there are two Live Action Films with release dates and a further 3 or 4 in development

Gotcha! I am far less familiar with WDW's layout, so I was mistaken. Thank you!

To me the discussion had led to the cancelled Bantha attraction. I think it is perfectly reasonable to bring up a reason why it would not be built in a discussion about it. We can talk about negative things too

Wherever Jar Jar takes them in Episode 1 is underwater. Navi River Journey crossed with 20,000 Leagues, except have it be fun.

Almost no guest walk ways are cut for the mansion (tiny corner of the one pathway by the red ). It's all trees/ dirt... I wish google earth would update... its been 5+ years.

I think that they could do a really good boat ride based on the planet Dagobah (where Luke meets Yoda). You could tour the swamps of Dagobah with mist and scenery along with the camp site where Luke was training and an R2D2 animatronic could feature. Add some fit for the purpose alien creatures and the final scene could be a Yoda animatronic on the shore raising Luke's X-Wing from the swamp as your boat passes it. The atmosphere of Dagobah was dark and dingy so would justify an indoor attraction. I get that you didn't see any boats on Dagobah however it's more a method of transport for the ride which could be justified by water being an indirect iconic feature of that scene. Obviously that might break the time line that GE was going for but then again haven't they already done that to some degree already with some added characters?

Nothing that is a themed ride experience is being built without LL. That was the argument. I could see a spinner going either way. But probably would have a LL for that too.

I do love a good boat ride, but Star Wars (for me) doesn't seem like the right IP for it. I don't think I can recall seeing a character take a boat ride within a SW film. The closest I can think of is when the prisoners swam away from the prison in Andor. As for fitting, you did a great job showing the size of the area, but if they want to keep walkways, they are removing at least a 1/3 of that show building. With the current orientation, you would be looking at a HM without the Seance scene, half of the hallway of doors, the Maintenace bay, the ballroom scene, the attic, and the first half of the graveyard. So, we would be left with an attraction that is the equivalent to the loading area, endless hallway, conservatory, half of the graveyard, and the Hitchhiking Ghosts. And they would still need to find room for the Maintenace bay, so probably no HHG. Not terrible, but certainly is a much smaller attraction and not enough room for a boat ride beyond the scope of NRJ.
