Funny! I'm trying to imagine what the guests in the background must've been thinking during this shoot!

I think my favorite part was the Stormtrooper with the souvenir drink cup.

Different subjects. The first was to announce the opening of Star Tours 2.0. The second, using content from the first, announces the acquisition of Lucasfilms.

It was easier to use content already available than do a new shoot.

Or use footage from Disneyland to advertise for WDW.

Imagine if they had shot a new commercial just for the announcement. I think the social media networks would have imploded with people wondering what was going on.
