Now that Disney owns everything (or at least, Star Wars spin-off films, new Marvel TV shows, and all kinds of spin-offs, side projects, and novelisations that weren’t around before.
What we haven’t seen much of yet is crossovers between Video Game
The first idea that Star Wars would be well within Disney’s capabilities. Who doesn’t want to square off Yoda against the Incredible Hulk?
A simpler and perhaps more attainable goal would be for the two franchises to cross paths in the Marvel titles.
A t Theme Park
Stepping away from gaming, it would be undeniably cool to see a massive new Disney park devoted to both Marvel and Star Wars—not just a celebration of Disney’s biggest and brightest franchises, but a place for the most enthusiastic and current entertainment Star Wars theme parks in one location? Probably, sure. But it would be pretty cool to skip from an X-Wing-themed space ride right into “The Iron Man Experience,” or get off a chaotic, rumbling Hulk roller coaster and stumble into a virtual laser fight. Plus, as mentioned, these are two of Disney’s biggest draws; if nothing else, it would be convenient for the parks to be in one place for the sake of crowds with interest in both.
Disney.com announced a massive, ambitious plan for new Star Wars “worlds” at their signature theme parks earlier this year, so in a way these plans are already in motion. Furthermore, News-a-Rama has announced that there will actually be some sort of crossover at a new park in China, with Marvel- and Star Wars-themed “worlds” being built in close proximity. Here’s hoping something similar happens in Orlando or California!
A Virtual Battle Experience
Bear with me on this one, because it’s purely hypothetical. Nothing of this sort currently exists, and there’s absolutely no indication of anything like this on the horizon. But with stunning visual elements of Marvel and Star Wars alike would just be insane.
One of the unfortunate little hurdles for virtual reality gaming is that it requires space, and is thus difficult to bring into homes. For this reason, it’s not so hard to imagine a laser tag-like gaming arena gaining popularity once more as a sort of hub for early virtual reality gaming experiences. Just imagine being able to walk into a so-called “arena” and arm yourself as you please—with Iron Man hand energy cannons, or a lightsaber, a laser gun or an all-powerful hammer. You could then step into a virtual battlefield populated by other heroes, This one may be a long way off, but in a way it would be the ultimate entertainment experience.
