    Star Wars: Rise of the Resistance

    I don't have any inside info, but I expect it'll mirror MFSR - no music in the queue, music during the actual ride experience.

    Don't make an "X-Wing Coaster" - make a Soarin'/FOP X-Wing ride

    I think GE needs a family-friendly attraction before another thrill ride. And any type of coaster doesn't fit the theming requirements of the rest of the land. Either bring back the Bantha ride, create the GE equivalent of Navi River Journey, or open up an animatronic alien petting...

    Millennium Falcon: Smuggler's Run - Ride/Queue Details and Discussion

    Piloting the Falcon was a dream come true for this Star Wars fan, probably moreso than piloting an X-Wing would be.

    Millennium Falcon: Smuggler's Run - Ride/Queue Details and Discussion

    Thanks for this. These results broken down by demographic make more sense. I'm interested in this survey in another ~70 days since Smuggler's Run has only been open to the public for 21 days. My personal rating (Over 30): 1) RnRC 2) Smuggler's Run 3) Tower 4) Star Tours 5) Toy Story Mania

    News Star Wars Galaxy's Edge opening day reports - Disney's Hollywood Studios

    The prequels aren't as iconic as the original trilogy. But just like the sequels, it's all a package deal now. Besides that, there are plenty of successful lands and attractions at Disney that are...gasp...not based on IP. If the land itself is working for the average guest independent of the...

    GALAXY'S EDGE: Blue Milk vs. Green Milk

    Blue milk for me. In order of prominence, the flavors I detected were coconut, berry and pineapple. Green milk tasted like Fruity Pebbles cereal. Bonus points if you're drinking it out of period correct tupperware like they did at the Lars homestead. :)

    News Star Wars Galaxy's Edge opening day reports - Disney's Hollywood Studios

    The prequels are my least favorite Star Wars films. I appreciate the lore they introduced, but the execution is extremely poor. I think the only thing being “prequel age” did for me was normalize the idea that each trilogy would have its own set of primary heroes. It seems most who are...

    News Star Wars Galaxy's Edge opening day reports - Disney's Hollywood Studios

    I've said it before, but they could take the TT/RSR slot car ride system, hide the track pretty well, and theme it to Pod Racing. That'd be incredible.

    Star Wars Ep. 9 Thread

    Leaks basically nailed the entirety of TFA. Most of what leaked that wasn’t seen on screen was confirmed to be deleted scenes or earlier iterations of various sequences. Leaks for TLJ also said that Kylo and the Knights of Ren would crash land on Ach-to, with Luke fighting the KOR while Rey...

    News Star Wars Galaxy's Edge opening day reports - Disney's Hollywood Studios

    I do. My two brothers do. A bunch of my Star Wars nerd friends do. A bunch of our kids do. And according to this recent article on upcoming films' social media engagement it's likely that a bunch of people online do. Star Wars is Star Wars. A Stormtrooper is a Stormtrooper, an X-Wing is an...

    News Star Wars Galaxy's Edge opening day reports - Disney's Hollywood Studios

    I was only talking about revenue. That’s why I said “bringing in” and didn’t need mention anything about profit. And profit margin on something like Savi’s has to be through the rough even when you consider COGS, overhead, etc. - it’s just a few die cast parts, LEDs, RFID...all cheap...

    News Star Wars Galaxy's Edge opening day reports - Disney's Hollywood Studios

    But the billion dollar investment will likely pay off once whatever external factors causing the dips in overall park attendance have run their course. Barring a recession creating years-long impact, of course. As it stands Savi's alone has bringing in ~$130k per day. I'm sure money is being...

    News Star Wars Galactic Starcruiser coming to Walt Disney World 2021

    Hopefully the lessons learned from GE are to not cut corners on the hotel experience. It could be that the hotel ends up with roaming droids and aliens throughout their halls and cantina. They're certainly selling it that way right now, not that they didn't for GE too.

    Anybody know the average FP+ to Standby rider ratio? Could possibly extrapolate what MF:SR’s standby wait time would be if FP+ was in use.

    Sony & MARVEL are friends again; Spider-Man is back in the MCU

    As of today I won't be seeing solely Sony produced live action Spider-man films on opening night. I'll wait for reviews from trusted sources and then make a decision. Spider-verse is the only Spider-man film since 2004 that they've nailed on their own, and I'm not going to pay money to gamble on...

    The "ignore" feature here is really undervalued. Half the Disneyland GE thread isn't visible to me. 😂

    Yup. If I had my AP this year you'd bet I'd be on my way up to WDW today.

    News Star Wars Galaxy's Edge opening day reports - Disney's Hollywood Studios

    My buddy Rob and I shot and edited a vlog covering the opening day of GE at DHS + a multi-cam of the full Savi's experience. Hopefully this gives anybody who wasn't there a glimpse into the opening day vibes!

    Avengers Campus - Reactions / Reviews

    I think that's the joke, though. Ever since the first Iron Man there have been shoehorned acronyms, leading most recently to Spider-man Far From Home's "EDITH" And I believe in the MCU SHIELD stands for Strategic Homeland Intervention, Enforcement, and Logistics Division.
