I think he was also introduced to help promote the new Boba Fett action figure, which was free with so many SW figures purchased. In short, the show was abysmal.

Not to mention replacements to HISTA and Innoventions ... I'd say just about ALL of Tomorrowland is in for a third (overall) make-over. Care to confirm that Bean?

I have a friend who keeps saying the Body Wars simulators are HKDL-bound, but I don't buy it. Also, any idea when/if TDL and DLP will upgrade their Star Tours into the 2.0 version -- or something else? I am really very impressed by what I've heard of the plans for Anaheim (and the Florida Studios) versions.
