The story of how Star Wars Galaxy's Edge came to be is one that goes back nearly 7 decades. It is a story that circles back around to Disney\u2019s own history again and again. This presentation showcases those milestone moments that paved the way for this attraction to occur. It is the story of George Lucas and how he created one of the most beloved film franchises, one that truly seemed like it was something from the Disney Studios. It moves forward through the development of Star Tours and ultimately the purchase of Lucasfilm. Join us for Part I as we celebrate the 5th anniversary of Star Wars Galaxy\u2019s Edge with this historical timeline.\n\n__________________________________________________\nMy new book,\xa0A Century of Powerful Disney Insights, Volume I\xa01923-1973, The Walt & Roy Disney Years is available!\xa0\nAlso, check out my two of my other books,\xa0The Wonderful World of Customer Service at Disney\xa0and\xa0Disney, Leadership and You.\nAlso, for those examining = other business benchmarks beyond Disney, check out Lead with Your Customer: Transform Culture and Brand Into World-Class Excellence.\n________________________________________________________\nMore Disney Insights can be found below!\nDisney Insights YouTube Page--Check it out and subscribe.\nDisneyInsights.com--So many resources at our home site.
