New ‘Star Wars Land’ Rendering and Video from Disney’s Awaken Summer Event

DisneyThemeParksLogoNew details and concept art of the Star Wars-themed Land, coming soon to Disneyland and Disney’s Hollywood Studios at Walt Disney World were shown to the media at Disney’s Awaken Summer event. A brand new concept rendering was released from Greg Pro, Creative Designer at Walt Disney Imagineering, that gave us a closer look at the theme park expectedly to be called ‘The Star Wars Experience’. The presentation also contained a brief overview of some the high-level experiences that fans will be able to participate in. Check it Out!

 

Disneyandmore is reporting that the new concept art rendering is different from the previously released pieces shown at the D23 Expo 2015 and on the recently aired Disneyland 60 television special. They noticed that the pillars of stone partly covered with vegetation don’t look the same at all as in the first rendering. They also theorize that the “Big Thunder Mountain” new look is to avoid a visual intrusion that wouldn’t fit with Disneyland Frontierland nearby if they realized there was no way they could hide these pillars of stone “from another planet”.

A closer look at the rendering shows that all the previous elements like the Millenium Falcon, the Storm Troopers platform and the market place remain.

Also included in the presentation at the Summer event was a brief overview of some dining options, the Cantina guest experience , and video clips of the new Millennium Falcon ride. Scott Trowbridge, of Walt Disney Imagineering and head of the project spoke briefly about the project.

“The other story is an epic Star Wars adventure,” He said. “This is an amazing attraction. This attraction puts you right in the middle of a climactic battle between the forces of good and evil, the dark side and the light.”

“There’s so much more to see and do at this remote outpost. There’s this great otherworldly street market right behind a unique collection of characters, aliens and droids. Here there are shops, you can sample the local food and try these really cool and unique drinks. That’s actually one of the things I’m most excited about bringing Star Wars off of the screen and into the real world, and that’s that we can bring all these immersive stories to life using all of our senses.” He added.

    Looks like generic random Sci-Land.
