yet another reason to stay away from facebook groups... It's amazing how wrong we were when hoping that posting from everyone's 'real' identity would lead to more intelligent stuff.. but no :)

Of all the places they could use Walt's personal credence I think this is one of the best you could come up with. It really has the opportunity to set the show up in a great way to make it seem more relevant and resonating for today's audiences. CoP has such a message, and hopefully if they...

The castle changes all the time... on both coasts. Can we please stop with the 'change...' arguments? It's a way past it's due.

Finally making it back out for a trip with the wife starting in about a week. Trip kept sliding week to week, so now disappointed to be stuck by both the BTMRR and RSR refurbs.. both my favorites.

well DLH's spot is cemented by it's history and more so by what it USED to be. Just like WDW's history as a vacation resort and not just theme parks. For regional people, especially those old enough to remember, the DLH was a sprawling venue of so many things not just a hotel. The 'Disney' of...

Who said anything about guarantees? Why is it a reasonable assumption? Because it was a wildly popular addition to the exact same ride and this version is finally getting an overhaul where it would make sense to complete the catchup.

Except... that thing over in Anaheim But yeah, let's stay super literal...

I'm not sure why you mash up cross-over or cameos... with.. straight up plot duplication.

Well one thing for sure... both 'what is disney focusing on' and 'disney prices' are both common fodder in the pages of publishing these days.. so the topics are more than just fan-angst :)

TIL that in 1977.. 8yrs had mustaches...

And what was Star Wars modeled on? The serials of the early TV pioneers and format taken from radio. Boomers range from 1946-1964 A boomer born in 1960 was a teenager when Star Wars hit. A boomer born in 1955 was only 22. This is the prime 18-34 demographic that movie theaters were focused...

They were… which is why star wars changed the tone of most theater stuff at the time and shifted sci fi too. 70s were dark and depressing in entertainment… disaster films etc. star wars brought back optimism and hero flicks. And it wasn’t because boomer’s kids said ‘we want more of that’

See: anecdotal and just move on... reality is retro is cool, even with the under 30 crowd. Which is why so many toys, collectibles, shows, and more have been brought back.

Sorry, decades of successful Star Wars stories and products have proven that wrong. There is plenty to explore elsewhere in Star Wars and its been done for forever. Disney's sequels were just too much corp strategy planning vs just focusing on making good entertainment.

Nah - you don't get that much overlap w/o intentionally trying to sing the same tune. They wanted that feeling of familiarity and throwbacks. They were intentionally trying to replace the old with the new through continuity/handoff.
