DHS Star Wars Land announced for Disney's Hollywood Studios

[drod1985]

The livestream just revealed that they'll be selling "historic" lightsabers at Dok-Ondar's and they revealed Ahsoka's dual sabers. It looks very expensive, haha.

Looks like the same blade system as the current parks exclusives. I bet they’ll be about $150/hilt just as they are now.

The merch looks like they'll successfully pull off the Diagon Alley/Hogsmeade lightning in a bottle.

All the kids will want at least 1 of the porgs/tauntaun's etc, lots of Lightsabers will get sold, and if the Blue/Green milk is a hit it could be Butterbeer all over again. And of course that's not inc the Galaxy's Edge merch that will be in Tatooine traders outside of the land.

Panel was fun in person. Got my free Aurebesh Coca-Cola shirt.

Star Wars land merch is pretty legit.

Any hint about the opening date of RotR?

 

[LieutLaww]

Currently No

I have to say though...I’m so incredibly excited to get this. I will pay ungodly amounts of money for this pop

Those have not been out. Today was marketplace items. Toydarian, marketplace outfitters, and the creature stall.

Cool, I’m definitely interested in the belts in particular. As it goes along with the item I really want the sabers.

Yoda's back!

“Not every character that we hear is a character we can see,” said Scott Trowbridge, the Imagineering creative executive in charge of Galaxy’s Edge. “Sometimes those voices come to us from…”

“Maybe the Force?” said Imagineering creative director Chris Beatty. “The force is a very mysterious thing and sometimes maybe Jedi from the past can visit us and be part of your experience. Maybe a small, green Jedi …”

“… Darth Maul?” Gad joked.

“Noooo…” Beatty said.

“Yoda!?” Gad exclaimed. “Please tell me what I think I want to hear. Who’s voicing Yoda for this world?”

“I think the name you want me to say is Frank Oz,” Beatty said, confirming the original actor and puppeteer would be recording audio that guests will hear, with the ancient Jedi offering them insights from the beyond.

I guess this is how they’re going to get away with selling Coca-Cola products View attachment 364241

Another look at them:

Assuming those sphere bottles are the same size as the Christmas ones they had a few years ago, they'll be 13.5oz / 400ml.

What about all the first order stuff that looks like Nazi regalia? How long does that stuff last?

Oh, I thought I was the only one that thought that. But how do you make an oppressive government military look like an oppressive government military without resembling an earthly version of one?

The coke product thing is unpredicidented yet some people in some parts of the internet are salty that they even have name-brand beverages in the land whatsoever. What did you expect? Guess what, you’ll probably have to pay for it in American dollars next to the lady wearing Mickey ears and the kid with a Star Wars logo on his shirt. Sorry, some things can’t and shouldn’t be eliminated, and a theme park land will never be truly immersive. Let your brain block out necessary real-world elements and enjoy what it is.

If anything I’m complaining in the other direction. I think this creates an unfortunate operational double-standard that too directly devalues existing areas and the money could’ve been put to better use. I also don’t see this lasting long-term. Only until the rioters aren’t looking.

That stuff was gone today. Today was marketplace stuff and it looked awesome. They definitely learned from the Banshees and upped their game.
