Have plot spoilers been revealed for the upcoming "Star Wars: Episode VII?
According to reports, Disney Land's Tomorrowland will be remodeled to feature areas that will be featured in "Star Wars: Episode VII."
"The Imagineers assigned to the Star Wars Tomorrowland project have now been debriefed on the characters and plotlines coming for Star Wars Episode VII that opens in theaters in about two years," reported HNGN. "The original plan for Disneyland's Tomorrowland relied heavily on characters and plot points from the first three Star Wars films, with attractions like a Millennium Falcon walk-thru on the old PeopleMover platform, a wild Tatooine cantina replacing Tomorrowland Terrace, and a speeder bike ride through an Ewok village where Autopia currently sits.
"Those key attractions are all still part of phase two, but they are being layered or tweaked to include references from Episode VII that will be released in theaters at least 18 months before any of those attractions open."
If this is true, then it confirms what has been hinted at for the last year or so. The return of the Millennium Falcon, a Tatooine Cantina and the Ewok Village indicates that the heroes from the original trilogy are likely to return to the sites of their past triumphs. Of course, this could simply mean that the park is looking to have fans relive major moments from the original trilogy.
The decision to replace screenwriter Michael Arndt with director J.J. Abrams and Lawrence Kasdan made some believe that the script could get a major change and get rid of characters from the original trilogy. If these new reports are true though, it looks like that possibility has been overlooked and ignored.
"Star Wars: Episode VII" is slated for a 2015 release date.
