Will the D23 Expo be the place where plans for Star Tours 2.0 will be announced?
The website, theforce.net, has an interesting tidbit on their website. According to one of their sources, the 501st, a legion of fans dressed as stormtroopers, will be present at the upcoming D23 expo. They further indicate that they will be present for Jay Rasulo’s presentation.
This is an interesting rumor as it seems the most likely reason for their involvement would be a major Star Tours announcement. Rumors abound that D23 will be the site for the announcement of the next big WDW project. It is the first of these conventions so Disney in an effort to increase attendance might want to make a big splash or two at the first one. Secondly, Potter is coming to Universal and people seem to think Disney needs to respond.
The favorite rumor at the moment seems to be that Disney will announce the Fantasyland overhaul at the conference. The blueprints were alleged leaked a few weeks ago. Maybe they will instead announce Star Tours 2. Or maybe both.
