All I can think of as I read the headline for this thread is "I before e, except after c". Sorry.
ILM is being used to pirates in Shanghai and is supposed to also be used for the avatar boat ride which would lead me to believe that is what they are talking about and not Star Wars.That still sounds like everyone quoting everyone else.
"leading some to believe that the boat ride could be part of the upcoming Star Wars themed lands at Disney’s Hollywood Studios and Disneyland Park."
No-one knows, and since Disney do have access to the ILM guys, why not use them for Avatar? Disney are surely capable of jamming a boring "here's that movie you liked condensed into a three minute collection of vignettes" into a stupidly expensive amount of rock work, but until anything like an actual plan is leaked, we have no reason to assume that's what they're going to do for a park that they must realize has to appeal hard to the teen-thru-thirty crowd, since that's where their others are weakest.

I got it...build an adventures club filled with cantina aliens...
DONE
Lame...in a word.
Something in this "new studios" park is gonna have to be more than a "history of" slow ride for grandma...
It remains to be seen if this all some big mix up. We hope.
It just makes us Star Wars suckers nervous to even hear something this bizarre. Nobody is in the mood to be messed with.
It doesn't sound right.
Because it "sounds" like watching Star Wars clips on small world. And that would cause a very visceral response.
Let's hope that wdi and the suits aren't that stupid...that "Star Wars" and "boat ride" never were contained in the same sentence...that's they don't "not get it" to this astronomical degree.
Hope
I have a feeling that the SW land rides are bound to disappoint the purely ride enthusiasts. The main targets will be, quick little bursts of exposure to the new characters and the old spaceships mostly designed around the needs of FP+.
With a lot of open space for the crowds, FP+ ready M&G areas and "they'll eat anything labelled Star Wars" food and snack options.
Personally I would prefer something more like Diagon Alley plus a newer and better version of Space Mountain or a significantly longer version of 7DMT with elaborate story telling but that's probably not in the cards.
Pretty sure we're not going to see a coaster (be it 7DMT or Space Mountain) and while there are many things DHS lacks I don't think coasters is really one of them (particularly with the Toy Story coaster going in). I would really hope that the whole area is themed like Diagon Alley, but we shall see.
The Pirates one wasn't immediately as apparent, but I like that too. They have that big opening scene with storms and that would work very well.ILM is being used to pirates in Shanghai and is supposed to also be used for the avatar boat ride which would lead me to believe that is what they are talking about and not Star Wars.
