A detailed new article at Micechat.com discusses elaborate plans on bringing Star Wars into the original Disneyland park. Below is the relevant portion.
"The old Rocket Jet spinner and People Mover platform, gets an extreme makeover, as a landing pad as a Star Wars spaceport that forms the loose theme for the new land. What’s a landing pad without a spaceship, right? The craft that will have landed there won't be any old spaceship however, but will be the famous Millennium Falcon that will act as an elaborate walk-through attraction and meet ‘n greet location for your favorite Wookie co-pilot. In the shadow of the landing pad is the old Tomorrowland Terrace dining facility, made over into the rowdy Cantina on Tatooine. We informed you previously that the tests in the Golden Horseshoe last month were for an interactive dining/entertainment concept using the Star Wars universe.
The back of the lot is where the big new headliner attraction sits, in the place of the existing Innoventions and Autopia. After abandoning previous attempts to utilize the existing People Mover track, the Innoventions building got gutted; in its place, the pre-show and boarding area for the new Speeder Bike thrill ride. The majority of the track heads outdoors and to the north, demolishing the Autopia freeways and taking over most of that area for the new ride. The outdoor Speeder Bike course is set on the forest moon of Endor where the Ewoks live, and an Ewok village and walk-through attraction will house dining and shops as the Speeder Bike ride zooms nearby. Imagineering has had dueling proposals for this area; one that retains the 1959 looping course of the Monorail and disguises it amongst the forest, the other cuts out much of that track and shortens the Monorail route to open up more of the Ewok forest visuals."
