The backlash with the Prequels were just as bad as the backlash there is now (example: watch The People Vs George Lucas). The big difference is now social media has a lot more volume and there's a profit in hate reporting. So the cycle now is that fans can directly attack a content creator, the...

Regardless of personal feelings about the Sequels (I love them), it makes perfect business sense. The Original trilogy is creeping on 50 years old, the Prequels may be the prime consumer age now but they're just as divisive as the Sequels but the Sequels will appeal to today's generation of kids...

Potter works so well in a theme park because it's realistic fantasy. If you're not a fan, it's not alien but is easy enough to pick up being light fantasy. I saw 2-3 Potter movies and honestly could care less about the franchise but I loves me some butterbeer and enjoyed what I've experienced...

Star Wars is exactly a generational problem. Say you were 10 when Star Wars came out in 1977, you're 52 today. If you were 10 when Phantom Menace came out, you're 30 today. If you were 10 when Force Awakens was released, you're 14 today. A 52, 30 and 14 year old have very different expectations...

We went in May with our boys: 4, 2 and 8 months. The oldest was finally able to get on "big boy rides" so if one of us took him, we got the other boys a snack. Our kids were always good with napping in their strollers so we went at their pace. Unless it's your first time going and you don't plan...

I personally don't have any problems with SW:GE. I'm a lifelong Star Wars fan and 501st Legion member, so I eat it all up. I'm not in the OT or PT only camp. I like what Disney has done with the franchise minus some mis-marketing the last year or two. I keep planning my trip to finally go. At...

Outside of personal preferences, is including OT characters really going to change anything? A stormtrooper is a stormtrooper. Swap Kylo for Vader, swap Rey for Solo/Luke. Nothing really changes. If GE is considered a failure on both coasts, I don't think a minor theme change will bring larger...

I wouldn't want a standard coaster but I think a Mummy-like coaster would be doable. Especially if you tie it into some sort of Force/Jedi training. Could be a possible way to tie in old characters/material like one room you have a Force encounter with Darth Vader. One room you're facing off...

I absolutely loved it but the last two years we ate there the quality dipped a little and some of my favorite foods were missing. It’s definitely great for a buffet if you really want something different and way better than your standard stuff at Chef Mickey’s or Crystal Palace (I do love those...

There's the basics: mac and cheese, mini corn dogs, etc. My five year is a super picky eater and he never had any issues.

You grossly overestimate and overstate what LFSG actually does. You do realize that a majority of the LFSG is on Twitter and active and have been for years, right? They do not write story content. They're the ones who fill in gaps with past history. So if the Imagineers wanted to have a certain...

You do know that the Lucasfilm Story Group doesn't actually write stories, right? They assist writers and content creators by giving historical reference and suggestions within story canon. The LSG has become the boogeyman for entitled fans whining over not getting their own personal desires...

I'm probably wrong but wasn't it said that the colors are slightly different since each park gets sunlight from different angles?

You can't have immersion and expect a franchise that existed over 40 years to be the same thing. You can't have Darth Vader walking around with Kylo Ren and stormtroopers hanging out with clone troopers. That's really just a tossed salad of Star Wars things. Which some people would've preferred...

Then you don't want an immersive land at the parks, you want a "ride the movies" with a theme area. The Prequels, Originals and Sequels literally have gaps of 20 years in continuity. It would be like trying to do an immersive James Bond land but have Connery Bond walking around with Dalton and...

You can't have full representation of a series of films that not only bridged decades in film release buy decades of in universe continuity. At that point, it's not immersive, it's just an IP blitz (which people drone on here endlessly against). Lucasfilm has had their issues, especially with...

We just went on our annual trip in May, so maybe next year. Though we might push it off a year since we're thinking of renovating so we can eventually move down to the Orlando area in the next few years.

We usual go to WDW first week of May but that year we had things come up that kept pushing it back until it was Pandora's opening weekend. I fast passed both rides for our trip but the lines to get into Pandora averaged an hour or more, let alone the ride lines. I have a feeling even if they did...

As someone who actually collects this stuff, as well as buy it for my boys, merchandising is down because it's completely mishandled now. Merchandise is released in "waves" throughout the year. So say in June, Target gets three cases of figures. In each case are five separate characters with a...

My boys (4 and 2) LOVE Epcot. They did Mexico after watching Saludos Amigos/Three Caballeros and Coco, can watch the fish at Nemo for hours and even enjoy Living with the Land. This year my 4 yr old was finally tall enough to go on Soarin' and Mission Space and absolutely loved both and he...
