    Star Wars Land announced for Disney's Hollywood Studios

    Rather than the entire park, I think the "left" side of GE specifically needs a little love. The Resistance Outpost area. The level of activity towards the center/right (BSO and the marketplace) really works. But for now the Resistance Outpost seems pretty sparse. I get that it's supposed to be...

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

    I'm not sure of the source on GE going over budget, but a project has three primary variables: budget, schedule, or scope. They all affect each other. If GE was projected to be over budget then they reduced scope (droids, aliens, shows) to compensate. At the same time they likely modified the...

    Star Wars Land announced for Disney's Hollywood Studios

    1. I saw Vi three times, Rey and Chewie twice (probably because I only went to the Resistance forest twice), Stormtroopers several times, and Kylo at least twice. 2. No "shows" on rooftops that I saw, but there were Stormtroopers patrolling on top of the Speeder Garage and First Order Supply. 3...

    Avengers Campus - Reactions / Reviews

    Because Holland is simply hired to portray that particular interpretation of a character that Sony owns the license to. Sony doesn't own film license to interpretations of the character, it owns the film license to the character entirely. The Avengers Campus Spidey-suit is clearly based on the...

    Avengers Campus - Reactions / Reviews

    Spider-man is owned by Sony. Tom Holland is under contract to portay Spider-man for Sony for two more films. A specific iteration of the character isn't owned by a studio, the production and distribution rights are.

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

    I don't know man. I was there on opening day and the vibe was electric. The park was packed through about 5pm, and then the crowds receded a bit, but were still heavy. The overall sentiments from all the other guests we spoke to seemed to be pretty great, and everybody in my party loved it. As...

    Avengers Campus - Reactions / Reviews

    From all of the info we have this is incorrect. Sony exclusively owns Spider-man film rights. If it were otherwise then Disney would've never been able to use Spidey in the parks unless it was worked out in the film deal. But Universal also using Spidey makes it much more likely that the film...

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

    By my amateur box office fan math the reported 30% co-financing deal works out well for both parties. What so many people aren't talking about is Disney/Marvel's opportunity cost of producing these Spider-man films. The time, effort and resources they put towards a Spider-man film, where they...

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

    The toy argument has tons of holes in it - and is also not on topic for this thread. Neither is the debate on the merits of the ST.

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

    As a Star Wars fan of nearly 30 years…This will be a day long remembered. What an incredible trip. After closely following bioreconstruct’s aerial photos for what seemed like years I’ve finally visited Galaxy’s Edge - and for the Grand Opening no less. Here’s my (lengthy) review… The Journey...

    Star Wars Land announced for Disney's Hollywood Studios

    Chapek's excuse of cast member backstories is -poor. Bring back the roaming droids and aliens. We know you've got the alien costumes in a storage unit somewhere from Star Wars Weekends. The TSA's ban on the GE soda bottles is silly. They were never intended to look like thermal detonators...

    Star Wars Land announced for Disney's Hollywood Studios

    All we really know today is that you can show up early and enter the land. If the land closes you wait till they open the land back up. Only way around that is if you have a reservation, then you can enter the land an hour before your reservation. To my knowledge there's been no official...

    Disney's Loss of Spider-Man: How Will it Affect the Parks?

    This doesn't affect Disney's ability to use Spider-man in the parks at all. Those rights have always been distinctly separate. Disney Park's version of Spidey is clearly based on the MCU Spidey, but it is indeed a different suit. Legally Disney will have no requirement to change anything...

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

    It's definitely a spin by Sony, but there is merit to it. The reason Disney is looking for more representation in the financing deal is likely because Iger/Horn see Feige/Marvel's involvement in these films as a deal with bad ROI. Lets look at what's (publicly) at play here. Disney/Marvel get...

    It’s a good thing there are other threads to discuss the merits of the sequel trilogy in. 🙂

    Star Wars Land announced for Disney's Hollywood Studios

    Love the reviews @MisterPenguin and @MansionButler84 My buddy jumped the gun on me - we have a trip planned with a few friends for August 29th, but he attended a passholder preview last night. He had glowing reviews as well. Came back with the Rancor beer flight mugs. His one-sentence review...

    Star Wars Land announced for Disney's Hollywood Studios

    Based on old rumors and concept art there should be two more missions at some stage of production. I would expect we'll get additional missions at some point, with a randomizer eventually switching between the three.

    So what's your plan for visiting GE for the first time?

    Driving up with 3 of my buddies on 8/28, getting to the park circa 4am to hopefully be one of the first in the land. Smuggler's Run and merch purchases will be up first. Mid-morning Oga's reservation (just in case land gets closed for virtual queue), mid-afternoon Savi's reservation (so we're...
