Star Wars set to expand into Disneyland

Space conversion in Paris

Disneyland Paris is said to be working on a new Star Wars zone that'll include a Jedi Academy and even a Mos Eisley Cantina restaurant.

Whispers an invasion of Disneyland Paris by the Star Wars empire circulated the park's official forums before the Disney and More Blog confirmed Disney Imagineers are indeed working on a more immersive Star Wars experience.

This will apparently take place in the park's Discoverland section and will include an overhaul of the Star Wars-themed simulator Star Tours.

'We don't serve their kind in here'

The Captain EO eatery that sits next to the current Star Tours section will be replaced with a Jedi Academy similar to that at Disney Hollywood Studios, supposedly.

Meanwhile, the Pizza Planet restaurant - located behind Space Mountain - has been mooted as the future location for the Mos Eisley Cantina.

Alas, while details have yet to to be officially confirmed, "Star Wars land is supposed to come to DLP in 2015", the site says.

Parents keen to convert their kids to Star Wars fandom may want to start saving for a trip to the continent. It could even work out cheaper than taking your family to the cinema six times to see each of the Star Wars films re-released in 3D.

Certainly better for the eyes, at least. ®

Do they ask to see your phone on entry to the cantina?

no 'droids allowed...

Paris and Mos Eisley

Well it is perfect for Paris. As Obi Wan said "You will never find a more wretched hive of scum and villainy"

They certainly need to do something at Disneyland Paris. It's all a bit tired now, or is that just me as I'm getting older?

Needs to be upgraded. Been there 11 times now and the same, single 'movie' that is played during the Star Tours flight is getting tiresome and stale.

Went to Florida this year and the upgraded Star Tours ride there is far better. Has about 15 combinations I think (possibly a choice of 5 sub-films for each of the three parts).

We did Hoth and Naboo on one ride and Kashyyk and Coruscant on another.

It also has the advantage of being in English... (which wont change in Paris I doubt)
