If you are a Star Wars fan, or a Disney fan, bookmark this detailed take on Disney’s multi-billion dollar construction project, bringing the planet Batuu’s Black Spire outpost to life, both in Florida (Disney World) and California (Disneyland).

This is just a wonderful read. Matthew Panzarino really loves both Disney and Star Wars and it shows.

One tiny taste:

“We’re really being very ambitious with what we do with Star Wars,” says Disney Portfolio Executive at Walt Disney Imagineering, Scott Trowbridge. “This location is over 14 acres. It is basically a small city in our parks. All the amazing architecture…the ships, the aliens, the droids, the creatures, everything that makes Star Wars Star Wars, all coming together so that our guests can have an opportunity to live that dream of living their Star Wars story.”

At risk of being too susceptible to marketing speak, I’d have to agree with this particular statement. What is being built here has little parallel in terms of immersion and ambition in an amusement park or out. And it’s going to blow Star Wars fans, casual and involved, away.

Can’t wait.
