Daniel Miller reported in the Los Angeles Times that Disney COO Tom Staggs recently said that Disney will break ground on the new Star Wars Lands in 2016. This seems to make sense with the recent announcement that this will be the last year of the Osborne lights at The Studios.

Personally, I think the only thing surprising about this announcement is that construction on Star Wars Land is starting so soon. I figured it would be 2017 or 2018 before they “started pushing dirt around” (as Mighty Men of Mouse host Dutch Lombrowski likes to say.)
