I only meant in the last 15-20 years, not since the start of the company. I also should have specified outside of COVID, since COVID changed a lot of things and several of the ones on your list were COVID casualties.

Have they actually done this? The only thing I can think of that they officially announced and then cancelled is the Main Street Theater.

Horizons is one of my favorite attractions ever but it showcased a very 1980s vision of the future; they'd have needed to completely overhaul all of the future living scenes (the best part of the ride) at the very least because of how distinctly 80s they were. The other original EPCOT...

I think Martin said they'd been looking at plans to eliminate the Rivers of America for a couple of decades too.

Oh I definitely wasn't talking about Chester & Hester (and I doubt @danlb_2000 was either). Not much was lost there -- I think more is lost with the rest of Dinoland, but it was always one of the weakest parts of the park. It's when people throw it around in regards to attractions like Splash...

It also essentially assumes that whatever is being replaced is automatically worse than its replacement, or was never good to begin with, and so the only reason someone could like it more is nostalgia. It's basically a logical fallacy.

Mos Eisner is a hilarious typo or autocorrect.

Good question. Just off the top of my head I'd probably rank them: 1. Empire Strikes Back 2. Star Wars 3. Return of the Jedi 4. Revenge of the Sith 5. Last Jedi 6. Phantom Menace 7. Force Awakens 8. Attack of the Clones 9. Rise of Skywalker Phantom Menace and Last Jedi could swap pretty...

Degrees from NC State and Duke? Get him out of here.

It matters to Disney, for some reason.

Palpatine is still alive when this land exists, but it would break the timeline they're trying to adhere to to actually have him present and walking around.

I do think the prequels had a much better/more interesting underlying plot than the sequels. The sequels generally had better scriptwriting and acting, but the actual plot was mostly awful. There may be an alternate reality where Lucas let other people write the scripts and direct the movies...

I think Rise of Skywalker is worse than any of the prequels (although Attack of the Clones is really bad too), and Revenge of the Sith is better than any of the sequels, but it's kind of half dozen of one versus six of the other overall. The biggest difference is that prequels didn't have any...

They should have an Emperor Palpatine meet and greet.

Now that you say it, I do remember that. I still think it was clearly a decision made for capacity reasons, though, and then kind of handwaved away as part of the story -- the whole ride more or less feels like you're supposed to be on a broom. Even if the screen wasn't blurry, it's just not...
