News Star Wars: Galaxy's Edge at Disneyland Gets Darth Vader in Major Timeline Expansion

[Disstevefan1]

Give the man a break he’s finally retiring this year for the third or fourth or 10th time.

Not so fast. Iger is not retired yet.

First lets see if he actually retires.

Second, lets see if he moves out of his shower equipped office.

Third, lets give it a couple years and see if he again takes back the CEO spot.

As it is, Iger will continue to run the company from behind the curtains for years after he "retires".

Maybe when there is a new administration in the White House, he can get that ambassadorship to his beloved China, then I think he will be really retired from TWDC.

Rise of Rebellion please

episode 4?

Episode 4 my a... er, butt.

The first film is simply titled Star Wars and had no "episode number" because the idea that Lucas had this grand plan for a bagillion "episodes" is his own retcon nonsense. And, for that matter, it was followed by films that were simply titled The Empire Strikes Back and Return of the Jedi. Even Wikipedia agrees with me that a title like Star Wars Episode VI -- Return of the Jedi is not the real title. And if you can't trust Wikipedia, what can you trust?

Now, get off my lawn.

Episode labeling began just before ESB came out when the original Star Wars was re-released with a crawl update adding the number and new title.

Consider the unscrupulous source...

There could be truth in this. WDW doesn't have the motive to spend the money for the changes for Galaxy's Edge. I've heard and read about lack of crowds for Disneyland's version of Galaxy's Edge and really haven't heard that out of DHS version.

Also WDW has a lot of work being done right now in Magic Kingdom, DHS, and DAK.

 

[Tha Realest]

Getting more characters… and proper BGM from the iconic score?! Disneyland won!

Yep. But the question on everyone’s lips is…

What happens to Vi Moradi?

 

[wdwfan4ver]

Wasn’t it Iger who told Imagineering to focus on the new trilogy because he thought people would show up and wonder where the new characters were? He might’ve wrote about this in his book or something

It is ironic considering he is the person who's responsible for rushing the Sequel trilogy in order to make back money. The fact is the Sequel Trilogy didn't have a cohesive storyline. No one wanted the new characters because J.J. Abrams and Rian Johnson was trying to undermine each other and it hurt character development for the Sequel trilogy Characters including Finn.

I can’t believe they’re doing this when they have two Rey films in production.

..they do invest alot more on education there

Yeah right…

If the Sharmeen Obaid-Chinoy film sees the light of day after The Acolyte flop, it will be a miracle. how many writers have they had now ? I think 6 is the last one I read about. Her executive lifeguard is leaving the pool to let her drown.

They didn’t know what they were doing…they didn’t get it…it showed

Bury the past

Disney should be applauded here. The fan enthusiasm for the SWGE product seemed tepid at best, and the future of the franchise is decidedly in the Mandalorian and (hopefully it’s good?) Gosling film. They gave this effort plenty of time to catch on but it doesn’t seem to have worked. They’re leaning into what the fans want. Moving away from LARP in favor of OT Luke is not fan service, but a nice fix to pivot to what the customers seem to want.

I think the mandalorian ends with this cute little flick.

So there’s one movie in development…we hope?

And a lot of unconfirmed “development”?

…someday there will be multiple books written on this brilliant case study

At WDW, since they want to stick with the sequel trilogy timeline, maybe they could still give us Luke, but he sits off in a corner, avoids everyone, and doesn't care at all what happens.

I’m sure that’s a temporary thing…they need juice just the same

Won a land that doesn’t fit the park it’s in and feels off from the rest of it….
