Of course they would. Who doesn't?
Rumor has it they'll build it out next to Car's Land in California and in Hollywood Studios over in Florida. But what should it be?!
I have a few ideas....
A few months ago I posted this photo of what a Star Wars theme park would look like:
As you can see, there's a lot of good ideas here.
The opening gate where you enter and exit will be run by Imperial Stormtroopers, who will check your purse, backpack or any other belongings you have on you for the safety of the park. The shift managers will be dressed as Moff's or Imperial Navy Officers. They'll also kiddingly "debrief" you as you exit the park. Reminding you that all merchandise leaving the park is taxable by the Emperor and that Lord Vader would be most displeased if he discovered any of them visited the Jedi Temple.
The Jedi Temple lays in the middle of the park and has stunt shows features the cast as Jedi, battling droids, stormtroopers and of course Sith. I'd even love a puppet Yoda to rise up from an overlooking balcony, asking for the spectators assistance by "using the Force" to help the Jedi at some point. I think it's be awesome. Of course inside the castle would be a Jedi-themed dinner hall, gift shop and perhaps some Jedi loitering about (in rooms like the Thousand Fountains) talking to and instructing the guest (or "Young Jedi") in how to channel the Force.
Surrounding the Temple would be other rides, like "Escape from Hoth" an inside roller coaster that takes you up, down and all around an AT-AT as well as the snow banked hills of Hoth.
Moving counter clockwise we have "Death Star Run" which is similar to Disney's Mission to Mars ride except Star Wars themed. You play the role of pilots for the Rebel Alliance, about to head into their greatest battle yet... to take out the Death Star! After some small "practice maneuvers" they're whisked away in Hyperspace and arrive at the Death Run.
There are 2 versions of this ride. One is where you fly through the ditch, shooting down Tie Fighters while avoiding Vader on your tail. The next is from Return of the Jedi where you're soaring inside the Death Star avoiding structional hazards while trying to get to the center of the space station.
Moving on we have a beautiful "Naboo Boat Ride" which is very scenic and possibly has some animatronic creatures from the planet as well as some live cast members dressed as Naboo waving to you as your ship sails by.
Also in "Naboo Land" is "Jar Jar's Bongo Adventure" A 3D ride where you join Jar Jar on a wild ride through the planet's core. Several obstacles await as you narrowly make it out by the clumsy antics of Jar Jar himself. (who is swimming outside your Bongo as you ride)
Moving on, we get to Tattooine. Where you can stop by the cantina for a bit while a animatronic band (similar to Chuck E Cheese back in the day) entertains you with music. There's even some blue milk in a souvenir mug! From there, hop on the "Boonta Eve Coaster" that takes you on a wild ride around the planet. On the other end of Tatooine is Watto's GiftShop and another eatery called Jabba's Palace that features live performances on a stage with an animatronic Jabba in the back ground.
Now we go to Endor where just like Swiss Family Robinson, there's a set that looks just like an Ewok village, where midgets dressed as Ewoks take photos with you. There on course a gift shop located in one of the huts and even an "Ewok Hang Glider" children's ride that take you high above and around the forest.
Next we head over to Chewbacca's home planet of Kashyyyk where the they take on you a "Wookie Zip Line" over the deadly forest beneath. There's also a bakery featuring the extremely popular "Wookie Cookie" which you've just GOT to try! It's HUGE and satisfies your Wookie appetite guaranteed.
May the Force make it so...
