DHS Star Wars: Rise of the Resistance

[disneygeek90]

I still don't like SW being in Disney parks, but if the ride is rethemed to the OT I'd totally considering riding it. UNLESS we get geriatric Han Solo/Leia/Luke instead of the way they were in the OT. That's when they were fun. That's when they were great.

You should still strongly consider riding it in its current state.

So you haven't even experience the attraction yet you form a biased opinion and want to strip away the experience from others who have yet to ride it just to fit your narrow view. Got it.

There’s no reason Rise of the Resistance should be rethemed. It’s been very well-received and a retheme would result in a lot of issues. Smuggler’s Run is the clear choice to retheme with Han and Chewbacca in the preshow, OT content in the ride video, and a better storyline.

Yeah but it would have been sooo much cooler if Darth Vader was the one chasing you and Luke, Hand and Leia, Chewbacca, R2D2, C3po were the ones helping you escape. Is what it is. Still a great ride.

They already made that ride, It's called Star Tours, and the entrance is right down the pathway.

That’s the worst part to you? I mean I don’t want to start this debate but, really?

There’s more ‘new’ things in most single shots of the prequels than there is in the entirety of TFA. Star Wars is supposed to be creative and adventurous and the ST just copy pasted all the ships/vehicles/planets/armies we already had and gave them different names.

I get that they wanted to remind people of why they loved Star Wars after the prequel blowback but would it have been that hard to do something besides the same x-wings and tie fighters? Or to at least add some new ships besides them?

I actually like how Galaxy’s Edge works. Architecturally and lore-wise it reminds me of Clone Wars and Rogue One, with the lived in quality of the OT and the characters of the ST.

please.... Look Rise of the Resistance is an outstanding ride but you can't help but feel there is a missed opportunity there.
To spend 1 billion on a New Star Wars park and not include Darth Vader and company blows my mind.
It's a complete head scratcher to me???

Sorry Vader.... you aren't allowed in Galaxy's Edge.

I get you don't care...but the decision feels out of touch and already feels dated. Disney took on a huge risk with these new characters as the focal point of the new land but in my opinion they just don't have the gravitas of Vader, Han, Luke, ect.

Doesn't mean the park isn't a success, it feels it's missing that extra ingredient. You have a different opionion....nothing wrong with that.

What would have been cool would have been to have built Batuu at both themeparks but use the Old Trilogy characters at Disneyland escaping the Death Star that hovered over Batuu and then being able to fly Han Solo's Falcon. Bring Batuu into the OT.

Then when you went to Orlando, you could see Batuu years later in the New Triogy with the New Order as bad guys and escaping From Ren.

Would have fit perfectly with the theme that Batuu has been around a long time.

Is what it is.

Thank you. It’s still a possibility, not a probability.

Luke and Han don’t appear in Star Tours though. Plus only C3PO and R2 appear as AAs from that list.

Yes and I get that. But that’s not the “worst” part.

Flip that around so California keeps the new which they seem to love so much and we get the OT in DHS.

They’ll never fire her.

She will “leave to spend time with family.”

She might be packing her bags soon to visit said family after the release of ROS.

Yep. You got it!

 

[Andrew C]

Yep. You got it!

Your stubbornness knows no bounds...lol

 

[ChrisFL]

One very minor nitpick that I would have liked to see on the ride, and I'll add a spoiler tag, though this REALLY isn't much fo a spoiler , it's about the location where most of the action takes place

Spoiler

I wish there was more low whirring engine sounds and very slight vibrating/rumbling feeling while you're in the Star Destroyer...to give the impression that you're in space and not just in different rooms that could be anywhere. I feel like for some of the areas you walk through it would be a very easy thing to do.

Question,

Does DAS work on Rise? Or do you still have to virtual queue?

You still need to virtual queue

 

[aluisi]

Meh, okay thanks for letting me know.

You need a boarding pass but then (if there is a wait inside), you would go through the Fastpass line...versus the standby.
When I went on opening day there was about a 25 minute wait in the standby line (the line ended at the backside of water ).
I also went back the following day with about a 5 minute wait in the standby.

Okay so get a boarding pass and then with the DAS I would be able to go through the fastpass line. Thats good to know. I have issues with long lines and standing around. I need to be able to sit when needed or walk around. Plus being jammed in with huge mounts of people crowding me is not something i can do lol

Even the standby moves quick. That's the benefit of the VQ, they can control how many are entering and stagger when needed.

I said a few years ago, and it's still true: Kathleen Kennedy is near retirement age. And so, she'll retire. And all the haters who've been demanding/surmising her firing will congratulate themselves for getting her fired when she retires.

I will personally oust Iger two years from now. You’re welcome. I’ve picked Bob Chapek as his replacement. Feel free to applaud.

I know the leak. It’s really stupid.

And Anakin doing it wasn’t a problem until the how of it was explained many years later. Until RotS it could’ve easily been assumed that Force Ghosts were just Jedi you personally knew and were able to appear to you or something like that.

They'll explain it like certain somebody saved certain other somebody through the Force in a comic or novel. It's just how fantasy fiction rolls. You can pretty much do anything. Even have 80-year-old vampires sparkling in the daylight who still go to High School. Can you imagine being 80 years old and attending High School? I'd find a way to bite my own neck.
