Disney’s D23 expo naturally has a huge focus on their movies, but we all know the actual movies are only just one aspect of Disney’s ever-expanding empire. They’re also a theme park giant and today CEO Bob Iger announced that Disneyland in Anaheim, California and Walt Disney World in Orlando, Florida are both getting a bit bigger with dedicated Star Wars expansions.

Each park is going to be getting a dedicated Star Wars area that will take up 14-acres at each location. Those big chunks of land promis to transport “guests to a never-before-seen planet, a remote trading port and one of the last stops before wild space where Star Wars characters and their stories come to life.”

It won’t just be Tattooine-themed cantinas, either. Iger has said that there will be at least two signature attractions. The first will allow you to pilot the Millennium Falcon on a secret mission customized to the visitor, while the other will plant guests right in the middle of an epic Star Wars adventure.

We don’t know exactly how, or even when, Disney will be pulling off both of those feats, but we at least have some concept art to see what the areas will look like.
