The state of Tomorrowland has been an issue for DLR for many years, so I have decided to help out and plan Disneys next big project for them. In hopes of the magic delivering this message to Imagineers and execs, I will share my ideas here. This plan revolves around using the drawing power and marketability of Star Wars to make TL one of the elite lands of all the Disney Parks.
First, tear out Autopia, Astro Orbiters, and all unnecessary structures associated with the defunct People Mover/Rocket Rods.
Next, convert the Innovations building into the Death Star with interactive displays, films, and memorabilia inside.
New EateryMos Eisley Cantina. It will have Tatooine scenery and architecture and counter service outside. Inside will be table service along with the bar counter from the movie recreated to serve soda-shop-style drinks and shakes. The room will also feature statues of Greedo, Han, and the like as well as occasional character appearances. Lukes Landspeeder will be parked out front for pictures.
Speeder BikesThe Endor Forrest will be recreated on a majority of the Autopia space, and guests will climb onto a Speeder Bike that seats 3-4 people in-line. Two bikes will board at a time, and they will chase and pass each other on tracks trough the forest. At one point, the two will ride side by side and lunge toward each other like in the movie. Ewoks, wrecked speeders, Imperial Scout Walkers, and the shield generator bunker will decorate the forest.
TIE FighterIn the queue, guests are enlisted by the Empire as TIE Fighter pilots and given motivational words by Darth Vader. Then they will board TIE Fighter-shaped vehicles armed with blaster cannons and shoot, BLAB-style (or perhaps the ride could be done TSMM-4D-style. This would be very cool if the vehicle also raised and lowered to multiple levels of screens), at A-,B-,X-,and Y-Wings throughout the star-studded dark ride. Eventually, the TIE is damaged by the Millenium Falcon (the vehicle will shake a little), forcing guests to return to the docking bay.
Degobah SwampIn this boat ride, passengers will float through the swamps near Yodas home. After the boat is jostled by a dragonsnake (the swamp creature that tried to eat R2D2) and buzzed by one of the flying creatures, the riders will see scenes of Artoo fighting with Yoda, Luke in training, and Yoda lifting an X-wing from the swamp. After unloading, guests will exit through the Dark Side Cave where they will be able to look in a mirror and see themselves in a Vader helmet.
The music of John Williams and Skywalker Sound effects will permeate the rides, and the possibilities for decorations are endless.

I love your immagery and ideas they are fantastic, they just seem out of place. But that is my input and i am no professional. 
I'll settle for just the Speeder Bikes and the Cantina. Maybe that would be enough to get a couple SW weekends like they have in WDW.
