Disney plans to expand 14-acre Star Wars additions for the theme parks located in Anaheim and Orlando.
According to the article:
Among the attractions will be a cantina, like the one seen in 1977’s original Star Wars, with familiar creatures from various parts of the series. It will also include a ride that allows guests to take the controls of Han Solo’s starship freighter the Millennium Falcon as it swoops into the center of an aerial battle between the First Order and the Resistance – the new film’s version of the Empire and the Rebellion.
Here’s a couple of preview photos of the new Star Wars theme parks:

Star Wars character Boba Fett inspires real life body armor
According to Foxnews.com, Boba Fett the infamous bounty hunter, is now the inspiration for body armor from a site called Galac-Tac.com.
Here’s a photo of the site page and photos of the body armor in different color schemes:
The armor seems pretty accurate and (if you have the money), would make a killer costumer for conventions or Halloween. If you are in Las Vegas the 19-22, you can see the body armor at Galac-Tac’s booth at the SHOT convention at the Sands Expo.
