There is an article by Bob Iger from Variety (and Yahoo) about the hints about Star Wars in the Disney parks in the future: https://www.yahoo.com/movies/s/disney-reveal-ambitious-theme-park-plans-star-wars-003409049.html.
He did not specify what parks, but in Disneyland's case, I really hope that it's not Toontown as is the persistent rumor. It's too small, Toontown is a great section of the park, one primarily intended for the young'uns, and I don't think one small section in Disneyland is enough to do justice to Star Wars. Plus, Toontown has to close for the fireworks, and so would a Star Wars land if one was built back there. I would think that the new fireworks show coming for the 60th will probably stick around for at least as long as Remember Dreams Come True and Magical before it both did, if not longer.
Iger said that he wanted to do Star Wars big and do it right, but there's really no space for a Star Wars land in Disneyland. At WDW, certainly, which is where they should concentrate much of their Star Wars stuff, but not Disneyland - unless they build a third park, which is also rumored, but I doubt that there's going to be one in the near future.
