Speaking with Wall Street analysts, Iger revealed that Disney is currently working on "a fair amount of design and development (taking place by the company's Imagineers) to greatly increase Star Wars presence in multiple locations around the world," according to a new report from Variety (via Slash Film).

"The plans are ambitious so it's going to take some time for them to be built and opened," Iger continued.

Though Iger reportedly told these analysts that news on the park would come later in 2015, a different interview with Bloomberg TV has a different announcement date.

"Fairly soon, I'm sure we'll be ready to go public with some specifics," the CEO said this week. "But it's safe to say that you'll see a lot more Star Wars at Disney and at Disney parks in the near future."
