Does anyone else think Galaxy’s Edge is a misfire?

First and more most, SGE is not visually appealing. An OT character swap may help but the land is just bland and feels lifeless. It's borderline depressing just walking around. I'm baffled that a company can create such a stunning land like Pandora, then the bed with SGE.

On unrelated note, I can't do Millennium Falcon, makes me sick. Also I don't care for the ride. I feel like they could have made a different ride system for Millennium Falcon.

Pandora was two guys who care not for budgets and timelines

There should’ve been a Falcon walkthrough like Disneyland Paris’ Nautilus, some small indoor Nockturn Alley area that’s like the underworld of Coruscant, and Falcon should’ve been a speederbike, pod racing, or X-Wing rollercoaster.

The piloting the Falcon concept was always more gimmicky than practical, and all the dumber when you consider you already had Star Tours in both parks, I mean, unfathomably stupid.

When it was first announced I expected Falcon to be more like Peter Pan at DisneySea to be honest than Star Tours.

Rise is perfect for what it is, just needs a different theme, same could be argued for Guardians at EPCOT, though at least Guardians is beloved unlike the Sequels. Those two rides themselves work without their IPs.

One of the reasons the VR broomstick ride was cancelled for Diagon Alley/Ministry of Magic was because the experience itself when duplicated so many times (similar to Falcon) means the actual experience itself is much lesser because you have to replicate it so many times. If you pour all the resources into one thing instead of a bunch of the same lesser thing, you end up with a more impressive product.

What part of the ship do you really want to see that you don’t see in the current ride? The storage rooms?

What? The number of vehicles was not an issue.

Yes, this would have instantly been one of the best Disney attractions anywhere. Put us in a Falcon cockpit motion-base ride vehicle, but use the DisneySea Peter Pan ride system and then I'd add one aspect: a climactic LSM launch for a hyperspeed jump moment. Feeling thrust back into your seat -- actually moving fast -- would have been the thrill moment everybody wants if they'r going to be in that cockpit. Run that hyperspeed jump "tunnel" diagonally through the show building from one corner to the other to make it as long as possible.

For me it’s not the set pieces/props/architecture/sounds in the Smugglers Run MFalcon queue that lack—-they most certainly do not as I find them stellar and plentiful……..it’s the time investment and pace that hurts badly.

Moon is on the money here as the attraction should have been a walk through(but with very wide lanes) like the Nautius in Paris. No need to wait 55 minutes at a snails pace to see the elaborate maintenances bay and MF if it were a walk through. Best to enjoy at one’s own pace……stop and marvel for 5 minutes at a show piece and then walk at your own speed passing others and stopping 2 more times if needed.

THE RAMP!!

I can’t imagine what that would like after being adjusted to meet code and Disney’s safety standards. Probably would be even more failure to meet expectations.

This is the falcon that resonated:

You completely missed my points.

 

[TrainsOfDisney]

Star Wars Weekends felt more Star Wars than the land today does.

I completely agree. It was also fun! Remember when they changed half the backlot to Star Wars and had super quirky menu items and the cantina band was walking around taking photos?

And the Star Wars fireworks…. My goodness!!!

And the equity actors on stage hosting Star Wars trivia etc.

Yeah….. I’d take that any day to be honest. It was fun.

 

[Pizza Moon]

I was thinking about it and it’s like, there are actually people who go to DisneySea and call it “meh,” and there is a legitimate subset of those people who’d look at Galaxy’s Edge and actually think it’s a good land

 

[Pizza Moon]

But “IgEr isN’t ThE ProBlEm.”

 

[GimpYancIent]

I miss this so much. Obviously wouldn't make sense in the land except for special events, but it just celebrated Star Wars.

I kind of miss the world I grew up in, honestly.

Yes. Key word ENTERTAINMENT.

Give us Lando’s cape closet or we riot!

Lando didn’t use the closet for his capes. According to canon he used Storage Bay 3.

Although Islands of Adventure has the same issue. If there are thunderstorms it closes at least half the park.

and I'm annoyed that is still a problem 26+ years later. It needs more dark rides and indoor shows. There's 2 covered theaters that have been empty for years and now a third closed indoor show that they're finally doing something with.
