    News Star Wars Galactic Starcruiser coming to Walt Disney World 2021

    Have a great trip! I’m curious to see how open the ship itself is after hours. How much exploring can you do once the character interactions and story events stop for the night? What rooms or areas are accessible to free roam? Are any of the lounge, dining, bridge, shop, etc open?

    That sneak peek image of the bridge is significantly different from the concept art in both design and atmosphere. It really doesn’t really have that Star Wars aesthetic that was present in the concept. It looks very generic in presentation.

    That first image also appears in the book exactly as pictured shown docking to the Halcyon. Right below it in the book is the another view of that same shuttle with the thrust fins in the landing position. The thrust fins are also visible in the docking concept, but they are in the horizontal...

    The Galaxy’s Edge art book has several additional concepts that may shed some light on the transports. One shows the round escape pod looking shuttle we’ve seen in the officially released concepts. But it’s shown with the trust fins rotated down into a landing position and sitting on the ground...

    That seems to match up with the concept art in The Art of Galaxy’s Edge. The piece on pg 242 shows what looks like a Twi’lek entertainer on stage in the dining hall.

    And yet, here we are discussing an offering unlike anything they’ve ever done before. Agree to disagree, no need to be rude about it. I couldn’t care less what you want to tell me. That doesn’t factor into my curiosity about the experience at all. Have a nice day.

    Nobody said it was. But it’s also not a standard experience. It’s being billed as fully immersive and something completely new. Until they release more details, we’ll just have to speculate on operating hours.

    Apples and oranges. But you basically gave an example of what I am talking about. If I am in Vegas, I can gamble at any time...those tables don't close. A $5K+, limited-time experience that is billed as fully immersive is perfectly reasonable to expect that level of accessibility here too. I...

    That’s the question. Based on the cost of entry, the limited time of engagement, the small size of the crowd per trip, and the idea that this is a fully interactive story experience…it’s not unreasonable to expect that everything is always “on” when onboard the ship during the entire duration of...

    That’s a really interesting role. Everything sounds like it will be very fluid and dynamic. So it makes sense they would need someone in that capacity to continually evaluate and steer the experience and character/story interactions. It would essentially be a live action dungeon master. Which...

    That would actually be a really cool addition to Ronto Roasters now. It would be a fairly simple effort to rig and animate a dynamic race in 3D with a random outcome, chase cams, and custom racers/announcers to keep it interesting.

    You keep moving the goal posts of your argument. Your original comment was there was no toy line released with no other specifics given. My original reply and the example given was to that point specifically. Adding additional qualifications after the fact or arguing what the definition of a toy...

    It's right there in the pic...:rolleyes: You can argue semantics all you want after the fact. There was a line of figures released. It was for Rise of Skywalker. The vintage collection is, by definition, a "toy" line regardless of who it's aimed at. And it wasn't the only "toy" line released...

    The example I posted illustrates exactly the point I intended to make. The original point of discussion was that no line was released for Rise of Skywalker. Full stop. What I posted refutes that one and only fact. It doesn't matter who the line was targeted at, what the price point was, or what...

    Sadly, some “fans” get so unnecessarily bent out of shape over stuff rather than being able to appreciate this, or any, franchise as a whole. It’d be nice to have discussions without the dramatics.

    News Star Wars Galactic Starcruiser coming to Walt Disney World 2021

    Your original claim was that there was never a line, with no additional qualifiers. So you were shown a line of figures released at the time of the movie directly tied into the marketing for the movie. When that movie came out, these were the figures you could walk into any store and find on the...

    That makes sense from a marketing perspective though. High-end format figures aimed exclusively at collectors are naturally going to skew in popularity towards OT trilogy merchandise. The consumer base is going to be more familiar with and have a closer attachment to those figures by virtue of...

    There’s also the whole sequence in TROS where Poe uses “lightspeed skipping“ with the Falcon while trying to evade the TIEs.

    While he does say “…jump to lightspeed…” and “…jump to hyperspace…”, he’s talking about two different things. The first reference is to the course and speed the ship will take (lightspeed-hence the need for the calculations), while the second is in reference to the location where they will be...

    Lightspeed is correct, it’s the ship’s velocity. Hyperspace is the alternate dimension traveling at lightspeed allows them to traverse.
