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

I’d say you could wait more INSIDE the experience more than you would in the standby line. Due to the structure of the boarding pass, I can’t actually see any way the DAS card would benefit you because there really is no “standby” wait time once your boarding pass is called.

I hate star wars fans

I love all Star Wars with the exception of that movie. Last Jedi is the first film I can’t stand with a passion.
I’m sorry, wish I felt different. I don’t.
Loved Clone Wars, Rebels, Rouge One. I enjoy watching Phantom Menace with my younger kids.
Dislike Star Wars fans all you want... I’ve been one since 1977.

Rise of Skywalker premieres tonight, let’s hope J.J. can salvage the trilogy he began with such promise.

Congrats. I still don't like Star Wars fans.

The whole lot of them? Or a select few? I don’t like a select few Disney World fans. Higher percentage of Disneyland fans, between you and me.

Marvel fans rock, though. Right up there with Nintendo fans.

One could say that’s because Marvel and Nintendo are killing it right now. During the Wii U era though Nintendo was getting a lot of flak due to their decisions. Only difference between that and Star Wars is they didn’t have a lot of these “I hate you because you’re criticizing!” types. This shouldn’t be surprising but there’s probably quite a bit of crossover between those two and Star Wars, like me for example.

There's only one thing that slightly took me out of the experience on my single ride-through yesterday

I hate to say it, because some may take this the wrong way, but once the door was opened from the interrogation room, a little old lady is the one who said she's from the resistance and to get into your vehicle. For some reason I couldn't picture her cutting the doorway :p

That’s fair. I find fans of these IPs can, in general, be pretty reasonable though. Very few hate EVERY recent Star Wars project. Some Parks fans, on the other hand, literally pan everything. It’s exhausting and also a bit sad given that each of these things is a hobby. If I truly hate a hobby, I give it up, or at least dial it back.

For example, I plan to dramatically scale back my time here in 2020. I need to see other vacations (and associated boards) for a bit but I swear it’s just a break.

If it's the same CM I'm thinking of, we had her as a First Order officer ushering us into our cell on Friday. She was *awesome* in that role!

I figure I'll put my one criticism of operations out there, but it's relatively minor and likely easy to fix as it's mainly caused by the herd instinct of guests...

When you head into the hallway from the hangar, the hallway doesn't split into two lanes until after the first turn. On our second ride, the line in the hallway was backed up to the hangar doorway with an FO officer saying multiple times to "move all the way in". Once we'd shuffled forward slightly I found that everyone was staying on the right-hand side of the hallway, with the left side entirely empty and not blocked by a chain. Obviously everyone entering the hallway was simply doing what everyone in front of them was doing, leading to the backup. But because the people from that point back into the hangar were blocking the view of the turn, the FO CM's in the hangar couldn't see what was going on.
We promptly walked down the left side, walked straight past everyone else on the right hand side. A parade of people followed us, with the person behind us murmuring to someone else in their group "Are we allowed to go here?" (As we were waiting outside our cell l overheard a FO CM quietly tell another "Hangar is empty", so I felt good to do my part...)

All they need is for a way to either a) give the hangar CM's a way to see beyond the turn in that hallway so they can direct people to use both sides of the hallway, or b) give the CM's at the other end of the hallway a way to signal the hangar CM's that one side of the queue is empty and to police the queue. Doesn't have to be a two-way communication, could just be a button the CM presses to cue a story-appropriate sound effect in the hangar that the CM's know what it means.

It’s not that people actually hate the whole IP it’s that they feel like it could be doing better. It’s very much like being a fan of a sports team that’s doing very poorly except you never hear about “toxic fandom” in that area of entertainment. It’s viewed as exactly what it is: passionate criticism. Probably not too different from being a parent either. If you’re yelling at your kid because they did something really wrong does that mean you now hate them? Or is it that you love them so much you know they could be better?

And yet, sometimes you just need to say, “great job!” to your kid without any sort of qualification even though he obviously isn’t perfect. What happens if all you do is criticize your child?

Hence why I used “really wrong.” Something that you couldn’t say “good job, you tried” to. Like getting in trouble at school.

Are we talking about 7-9 year old children or adult writers, directors, producers?

Are we talking about people today who are in their 40's and 50's who saw a Space Wizard Fantasy Movie in 1977 and have been endlessly complaining since 1983? Very vocal on line. Also...very niche. Like niche of a niche. But loud. And constant. Like gnats in your ear at a picnic.

(No spoilers... just reactions)
Some early reactions to Rise of Skywalker. Two good ones and Two bad reactions from Campea and Mendelson who praised Last Jedi... interesting.


1.Rob Keyes

Just stepped out of #TheRiseofSkywalker . It’s an immensely satisfying and MASSIVE end to the saga. It somehow addresses issues, problematic characters, and most unanswered questions from The Force Awakens and The Last Jedi too.



2.Mark Ellis

I’m emotional, overwhelmed, surprised, shocked & stunned. More than anything, I’m happy. Thanks for coming through one more time, Star Wars.

#TheRiseOfSkywalker



3.John Campea’s first reaction after seeing TROS..
Yikes.
(You can find it on Twitter if you wish)


4.Scott Mendelson of Forbes:

At worst, I expected #TheRiseOfSkywalker to be a well made movie that I didn't like or whose story choices I disagreed with. I was not expecting a genuinely bad movie with video game plotting, thin characters, weak action and endless exposition of no consequence. Heartbreaking...

I’m sure there is an appropriate thread for this.
