News Star Wars: Galaxy's Edge at Disneyland Gets Darth Vader in Major Timeline Expansion

[Sirwalterraleigh]

What are the rumors about the second season?

A massive multi episode space battle where ACKBAR takes down Thrawn…like a zahn type thing

Which would be the latest in a long line of favreau/filoni “we’re sorry” moves…

More poignant since Elphaba just carried her desk out in a box

But then who is the Hulk Hogan of movie music?

Right Said Fred

 

[Tom P.]

You unabashed Trekkie…

True. Tell you what. Let's just play Jerry Goldsmith's theme from Star Trek: The Motion Picture throughout Galaxy's Edge?

Cross up two currently misguided franchises?

Sure…what could go wrong?

Honest take :

I would be okay with this.



And I love me some John Williams.
Seriously love his works.
But Jerry is also pretty fantastic….

"May the Force be with you Jean-Luc"

ahem….Sisko and Janeway…

The commercials need to project certain things

Hans Zimmer

 

[Basil of Baker Street]

John Williams is the Bret Hart of movie music. He’s the best there is, the best there was and the best there ever will be.

That was Rick Flair's line.

 

[Sirwalterraleigh]

Hans Zimmer

Yeah he comes to mind too

 

[Sirwalterraleigh]

That was Rick Flair's line.

Actually the both did it

Flair was working for Turner then

Whhhhheeeewww!!

 

[Basil of Baker Street]

Hart Foundation was a bunch of sell outs.

As much as I want a splashy new E-ticket (very much so), it will be more interesting to me to see if they can achieve a lot of improvement with a lot of small, cheaper additions like that person's idea, in the meantime. Every area of the land should have an "only in Star Wars" element. So, for example, Docking Bay 7 is cool. But it's not "own-able" by Disney. It of course uses aesthetic motifs evocative of Star Wars, it doesn't "go against" Star Wars, but those motifs and aesthetics, are not proprietary. They're essentially public domain. An "only in Star Wars" improvement program would add an element (like that "live" pod racing broadcast) to make the place proprietary. Doing that throughout the land, where necessary would go a long way to making SWGE feel more Star Wars-y.

This really gets at the biggest risk of single-IP lands: overextension. When a land spans acres and serves huge crowds, how much of it can actually feel bespoke to the IP? Fine-tuning may be the key to making SWGE work long-term.

Chances of at least getting the music at DHS?

It's more like Star Wars is incredibly difficult to make a single cohesive land that's also iconic. Harry Potter works because all the iconic locations are set pieces from the movie. Star Wars doesn't have that. You can't make a land out of a Star Destroyer or the Death Star or Jabba's Palace.

You can make fantastic rides and experiences with them, but in order to build a land around them you have to make a generic space port or desert city which is what we got with SWGE.
