ForceCast #260: No News? No Problem!

With no big stories to cover this week, Erik and Eric discuss their hopes for a "Star Wars land" at a Disney theme park. These may not be the most realistic ideas, but who knows what the House of Mouse is capable of? Plus, we've got book updates, Celebration Europe II news, and a trove of listener feedback.
