19 Photos of Star Wars Land Scale Model, Concept Art and Props
Disney Parks are offering fans an even closer look at Star Wars Land at the 2017 D23 Expo. During a preview of the show floor, the first look at a scale model of the forthcoming section of Disneyland and Walt Disney World was unveiled.
Click through the below gallery for a look at the scale model of Star Wars Land, an array of concept art and some of the props that will be used at the theme park.
The immersive Star Wars section of the Disney theme parks is slated to open in 2019, and features everything from an attraction that allows attendees to fly the Millenium Falcon to a fully stacked cantina. The idea is to make attendees feel like they are in their own Star Wars story, and though the new expansion's time period is intentionally vague, parkgoers will run into members of the First Order and the Resistance.
How Thief Inspired Warren Spector to Create Deus Ex
Thief was instrumental in the creation of Deus Ex, and Warren Spector has come forward to reveal how Looking Glass Studios' first-person stealth title inspired the creation of his beloved action role-playing game.
"That
team was adamant about focusing on stealth to the exclusion of everything else," Spector said on the latest episode of our monthly interview show IGN Unfiltered, noting that "a lot of the reason Deus Ex exists is because of the stubbornness, the appropriate stubbornness, of the Thief team."
According to Spector, it was the team's dedication to making Thief strictly a stealth game that inspired him to make Deus Ex. "There's a lot to the story of Deus Ex, but one of the things that really drove me was a moment when I was playing Thief in the early build, and I just was not good enough as a sneak thief to get past some guards," he said.

Disney Reveals Star Wars Land Theme Park Model
Ahead of D23 Expo 2017, Disney has provided an early look at the model of its upcoming Star Wars-themed lands coming to Walt Disney World and Disneyland.
Disney released a video, as well as several images on the official Disney Parks Blog and official Star Wars Twitter account.
Star Wars Land will open in both Disneyland and Walt Disney World in 2019. Both lands will take attendees to a planet we've never seen in before; one that serves as a remote trading port that has since become a "great place for smugglers, bounty hunters, rogue adventurers and people who don’t want to be found."
Opinion: DC’s Earth One Can Be Even Better
DC revealed that the Earth One line is expanding again this week with the news that Gabriel Hardman and Corinna Bechko are working on Green Lantern: Earth One Vol. 1 for a July 2018 release. As a fan of both the franchise and the creative team, that's a very welcome announcement. But the most intriguing thing about this news is the possible shift in direction it signals for the Earth One imprint. Green Lantern could be just the push Earth One needs to finally find its real, permanent place in DC's publishing lineup.
