Just to note as well, Episode IX was initially slated for May, so this update would have come right along with the movie and the land’s premiere in Disneyland had everything gone according to plan.

I think they’re looking to Rise to see how that impacts the land before they green light anything else on Batuu. Meanwhile, Star Tours has gotten updates for each episode movie, so they probably had this one in the budget long before they ran into problems with Galaxy’s Edge.

We got over to see this one last night. Here’s some thoughts: - Loved the use of One Little Spark to transition between each theme, and had no qualms with the kids choir. - Really enjoyed the throwback music, although it lagged a little leading into Veggie Veggie Fruit Fruit. - The kites are...

There’s a tie-in book for the land that has it set after Last Jedi now!

Attractions of smaller scope are also normally accompanied by a much smaller budget than their E-ticket counterparts. With that in mind, a flashy new ride system will likely suck up a larger percentage of a C-ticket’s budget than it would an E-ticket’s, and could result in substantial cuts to...

Do you mean quality of food or how the food’s been selling? I can’t speak to the latter, but overall I liked Satuli Canteen’s food better. With that said, Docking Bay 7 is easily the best quick service at DHS (and wouldn’t be the worst at AK), so I’m not saying it’s bad by any means.

Docking Bay 7 and Ronto Roasters seem to be the culprits here. Ronto doesn’t get enough traffic because people balk at the prices of what appears to be a snack bar (despite the wrap being the best food/beverage item in the land), and Docking Bay 7 has too confusing/complicated of a menu. I’d...

I should add that as far as merch is concerned, the land is not in danger of failing to meet expectations (in DHS at least). Droid Depot in particular is considered a runaway success, and much more popular than they expected it to be. Food and beverage is not doing so hot, though.

Wait, so are these changes also in the land (on the menus and signboards), or is it just on the app?

New destinations, as in more than one?

I liked the faux public service announcement he did for the grand opening up on that balcony. Trot him out once an hour to do that speech and that’s 1) more alien activity, 2) more kinetic energy, and 3) more music, since I believe he is played on and off by the theme Williams wrote for the land.

I get what you mean. They very well could view Rise of the Resistance as the next *update*, what with every major character rumored to appear in some form. However, a new planet in the Jakku slot would bring that sense of “Where are we going?” back that the revamp introduced so nicely. As it...

Well, because they updated it for both Force Awakens and Last Jedi, so they’ve established a pattern for updating it with the episodic movies.

So my follow-up then becomes: was there initially a smoother transition designed that was cut midway through due to the canopy sucking up the budget, or did they just design the building that way from the beginning?

See, this part I’ve never understood. Why not shape the reentry point like one of the racing rings on the inside?

I’m thinking it’s one of those “technically a rule but never enforced” situations, as we had ours out and zipping around in the entrance tunnel to the land with no problems. It’s probably just to cover their butts in case somebody tries to start driving theirs around in the middle of the Oga’s...

There’s a poster on the forum whose primary complaint about the land is that you don’t walk up the Falcon replica’s ramp out front to enter the Falcon ride. They’re very... persistent with this talking point.

I personally enjoyed both movies, but aside from the Canto Bight sequence (which was well-intended but poorly executed imo), I thought many of the critiques of Last Jedi were the result of poor setup by Force Awakens. Didn’t like what they did with Luke? Well, he got sidelined to an island for...

Hi, all! Apologies if this is already a thread, but we finally caved and built our own Astromech at the Droid Depot, and I believe that I read somewhere that the droids are able to interact with certain elements of the land. Does anyone have firsthand experience with this? We left pretty...

I don’t know, I just had fun in the queue. The PA voiceovers, animated engine, second story views of the Falcon, Hondo, and then the chess room all felt like they piqued my interest. It’s not enthralling in every single part of the line, but I don’t feel that way about any queue I’ve waited in...
