The Star Wars attractions at Disney's theme parks will be based on the new films, rather than the original or prequel trilogies.
Walt Disney Company chief Bob Iger outlined the theme park plans during a Variety Q&A. The attractions will be based on the new series of movies, along with planned spin-offs, so Disney Imagineers had to wait until they saw what J.J. Abrams had in store for the series.Iger says that early in development, they were making rides based on the first six Star Wars movies. Ultimately, though, they decided they didn't want to disappoint audiences who had just seen the films and expected to see it realized at the park.
