I do think she is overpowered a bit, but that doesn't take away from me liking the character and her backstory, plus I enjoy Daisy in the role. Still she is not a Mary Sue, she fails and learns through her failures, which is not a characteristic of a Mary Sue. And the whole comparison with Luke I never got into. Luke was able to dogfight against Darth Vader, survive and then land the luckiest 1 in a billion shot to destroy the Death Star all after a hour's lesson in the Falcon and Obi Wan connect through Force Blu-Tooth. They both are very strong with the Force in different ways and can do incredible things. Can't we like both?
No argument there, except...
What's not to like????

Hey, Chris Evans did a great job as Johnny Storm (and the interactions with Ben were probably the high point of those movies)! Those FF movies were generally bad, but I think that is a poor example of what you are trying to illustrate as it reflects a good actor overcoming a lousy script.
Can we please try and avoid spoiling Rise of the Resistance in this thread and keep spoilers in the thread dedicated to the ride? I’d love to read about people’s opinions on what’s currently available in the land without ruining the surprise of what’s to come in the upcoming ride.

Two questions:
1) So, without giving away too much... do I have to yell at the random people with us in the MF so that we don't suck at the mission?
2) The stormtroopers etc, will they leave you alone? We're from NY and don't really like to interact on the street.

1) not really. It course corrects and if you crash a lot, it’s a thrill ride!
2) ignore them and keep walking

Luke didn’t dogfight Darth Vader. He narrowly got killed (I have you now) and then Han stepped inI do think she is overpowered a bit, but that doesn't take away from me liking the character and her backstory, plus I enjoy Daisy in the role.

Also it was established previously he was a skilled pilot and a good shot from bullsyeing womprats the same size as the shot he needed to take. The force just gave him an extra push to do what he’s already known how to do.
I guess we can finish it here though.
I liked him too but I was speaking more of a general reaction not my personal take.

While true to some extent they are investing in the parks considerably now. I don’t think that being desperate for new rides is somehow going to blind people. FOP literally opened about two years ago so not that starved.
You two have very excellent reviews of Star Wars Land as it appears in Disney Hollywood Studios. Because, it wouldn't be like either one of you to try to hijack a thread with bitterness and vile like some of those jerks who think it makes them one of the cool kids and take if off topic to Anaheim or the movies. No. Neither of you are like that at all. We should all value your opinion because it's based on what you experienced and you keep it totally on topic.
You two are probably the best posters on these boards. I love you both. Please, some more of what you experienced in DHS's SWL, please, nay... pretty please!
Were all waiting for your very valuable first hand experience.

EDIT: Whoops, sorry for the thread derail. Skip this post if you’re looking for park stuff.
Luke is also half-conscious, hanging upside down, and freezing to death while a monster is approaching to eat him in a cave at the very beginning of his movie. Rey is not dealing with any of those problems, and it’s at the end of her second movie.
Out of universe, Star Wars always introduces new, difficult feats for Jedi and Sith that in later movies are then treated to be run of the mill abilities for their respective fashions.
Telepathic communication from Obi-Wan in A New Hope? Luke and Leia can do it in Empire, no sweat.
Telekinesis in Empire to grab a lightsaber? Yoda expects him to pull a whole X-Wing out of the swamp with no assistance thirty minutes later, and gets annoyed when he can’t.
Palpatine’s unstoppable Force Lightning in Return of the Jedi? Dooku can do it too, and Jedi can deflect it, with the Force or a lightsaber.
The Force has always been established as more spiritual than methodical; it’s an energy you open yourself up to, not a skill tree, so I’ll never understand the argument of “not enough training” when it comes to the people who can use it.

I think it is actually a lot more fun with bad piloting. My favorite of five rides was as gunner, because the pilots were the worst. Don't get me wrong, I think gunner is the worst spot, but the bad piloting made it fun. They knew they were bad and were laughing it up and everyone had a great time as they kept blaming each other for flying into everything.
I have a long history or sarcastically knocking the direction of the company. I don't care for the new Star Wars movies, but the land in and of itself is great. We can't criticize the many missteps of the company and not also pat them on the back when they do something right. That's not exactly being honest. Walking through the tunnel the rest of DHS disappears. That's what we were promised, and it's what we got. It would be great if there was more there, but what's there is spot-on great.

Rey is a total Mary Sue. Mary Sue is the only reason she exists. And she's one of the reason SW is in decline. And that the new toys don't sell very well. She has zip personality. Her friends aren't anywhere near the level of Han and Leia.
But hey, settle for less. Iger appreciates your business.

Yeah, I'd oblige, but my next Florida vacation will be at Universal. I'll let you know how Gringott's and Hagrid measure up. Stay tuned!

I'm not going to get into all the ins and outs of my personal Star Wars fandom, but if it helps anyone, I've been a pretty huge Star Wars fan for a long time and I wouldn't consider myself any kind of major fan of the sequel trilogy thus far. I also wouldn't consider myself to be especially thrilled with the direction Disney's gone with for its parks in the last decade or so, for reasons big and small (though I would also say that I do still genuinely love visiting). I guess I would describe myself as neither a doom-and-gloomer nor a pixie-duster.
All that said, I loved Galaxy's Edge. My whole family did. A small sample size, yes, and just one person's story, but I really had a good time. For whatever it's worth.

DL and WDW are two completely different markets, on opposite ends of the "easy to please spectrum". I wouldn't disregard their opinions entirely, just temper them a bit with the WDW opinions. I don't think anyone should be concerned that the SWL is a total disaster.

there used to be a joke about imagineering's over-reliance on rockwork
... but when you've been perfecting something since '59, and with someone talented as zsolt... work it gurl
you take 2nd and 3rd pics?

Agreed.
No, the second pic is from bioreconstruct on Twitter and the third is from @cchard on Twitter.

This pic by bioreconstruct is gorgeous:
Bios been putting out a lot of great comparisons between the two versions of the land.
I love the artistry of rock-work when done well. My biggest dissapointment with Epic Universe seems to be the complete lack of rockwork.
