DHS Star Wars Land announced for Disney's Hollywood Studios

Wait did I read that article correctly.. they’re tying star tours story to Batuu?

Disney just announced the planet name for Galaxy's Edge as Batuu

I believe that Batuu is also the planet that will be featured heavily in The Last Jedi. If you've seen the trailers, it is the planet with the blood red dust.

Isn’t that Crait?

Crait is indeed the blood red dust planet

Seeing as how Star Tours is now tying itself into SW: GE, does that mean Star Tours will remain open once GE opens?

Michael Arndt was going in a different direction than what Abrams brought to the film. Luke had a big role in the film. Han and Leia had supporting roles. Harrison Ford carried the movie which I didn't mind. Im curious to see what Rian brings to episode 8. Originally he was to write 8 and 9.

direction of crap? and being super conservative with it bringing in Ford to steal screen time from the new characters that had very little character development? I mean Finn and rey are both amazingly forgettable. when I think of female star wars the first thing that comes to mind is Jin erso in that all black imperial suit. now that was cool. sad when a stand alone carries more character development and kills them all than a movie that is part of a new trilogy.

I agree. I sat in the theatre thinking to myself that it doesn't feel like a. Star Wars movie. That's why I was disappointed that Abrams is coming back for episode 9.

The other day I noticed that they put new trees by World Drive that blocks view on SWL closest to the highway.

Star Tours is getting an Episode 8 scene. It isn't being tied into Galaxy's Edge.

The ride now ends on Batuu, the planet you will visit when Galaxy's Edge opens.

If you're interested in seeing the new scenes...

Spoiler

Blog Mickey posted a video with the new scenes on YouTube

 

[Kman101]

Thanks for posting the video. Looks fun, can't wait to ride it. I like that they are keeping this updated and adding new sequences and transmissions/characters, etc. I also really like that you land on the planet from Galaxy's Edge. Ties it in nicely to the upcoming land. Not that I think this means the ride will stick around, but it's still nice they tied it together.

Yes, you are right, my bad.

I still enjoy Star Tours quite a bit, as old as it is. A big part of me wishes they would have found a way to re-route the exit into Galaxy's edge and keep it. It would even be thematically cohesive to go to a space port- leave DHS and end up in Galaxys Edge/Batuu.

But I guess walking through an art-deco tunnel into another planet is more authentic

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! I love it when people who have no idea about screenwriting and movie making think they know what constitutes quality.

It was so cool = great character development?????

Thanks, I needed a good laugh!

except my cool comment had to do with likable females and nothing to do with the poor character development of 7. granted you retorted with a rocket meme so I apologize if I don't take your opinion seriously.
