The bottom is the reaction I typically see when I say I don't know or care about the Clone Wars Characters since the live action versions have been bland and undeveloped. Or that Last Jedi had the most interesting version of Luke on screen to date.
Yup, the live action versions of the clone wars/rebels characters have been pretty terrible. No emotion or even animation. One searches for a person they haven't seen in years. When they meet, there is no joy or even a hug. It is like "Hey how u doing?"The bottom is the reaction I typically see when I say I don't know or care about the Clone Wars Characters since the live action versions have been bland and undeveloped.

I just thought the storyline of a great spiritual warrior losing their faith due to the cycle of violence and rediscovering its beauty through non-violence was far more interesting than the storyline of a spunky and whiny farm boy becoming cold and distant cut off, especially when Hamil didn't have the best acting chops at that age.Where you see interesting, I see offputting.

The “Avatar” experience, first announced by Disney CEO Bob Iger in 2023, will officially be the first new themed area to break ground under the recently approved Disneyland Forward proposal.
Bittersweet news. There likely goes my dream of Monstropolis.
It seems there's still some question as to whether Avatar lands in Hollywood Backlot or in the true Disneyland Forward expansion plots.
I'd also say Monstropolis would be a poor fit for DCA and be guilty of the sunk cost fallacy: letting a mediocre dark ride dictate much larger future investment.

Agreed. From Bob’s point of view, any investment in new attractions at DL is part of DisneylandForward, regardless of location.
In that respect, there’s still hope for Tomorrowland.
All rumors seem to be pointing to the backlot. Have you read something that would indicate otherwise?
I don’t think it would be a poor fit for DCA. It would make for a seamless transition from Hollywood Blvd. I’m not sure there is an IP that doesn’t fit at DCA considering the different lands and IP represented at the park. But I can understand your second point. Although I don’t think it’s quite as mediocre as most people seem to think it is. You’d be lucky to get a D ticket dark ride the quality of Monsters Inc. from modern Disney.

That's a good point, though I guess I'd call that Monsters Inc ride a C-ticket, but I totally agree that it's exactly the sort of smaller dark ride that the parks don't get enough of these days to really flesh out the experience between the E-tickets.
And certainly, insiders on the board have pointed to the backlot, but they've been wrong before. I think Bob's latest comments about Avatar being the first part of DisneylandForward, as well as the thematic issues with being a part of DCA proper and the matched up concept art with the Pandora land are all possible indicators that it may not be in Hollywood Backlot.
Where are you getting Bob's point of view? If it's done in Hollywood Backlot that is just not a part of the re-zoned land. You could argue moving the bus pick-up makes it indirectly related to the DisneylandForward zoning changes but that's not how I read it.
Well, I suppose it’s possible that Avatar will be put in one of the new locations, but that kicks it down the road quite a bit, because there’s so much that has to happen in order to free up those spaces. I mean, I guess you can act like Avatar is the “grand finale” of the new Disney decade (like Westcot was going to be) but there’s gotta be stuff you build in the meantime (today’s equivalent of the original little mermaid ride, the young Indiana Jones stunt show, Dick Tracy’s crime stoppers, etc.).
I still think Avatar will be something they soon build on land that is already theme park, while they also start building the parking garage to free up other space. The city may cry “bait and switch” but how is it hurting them if it’s built sooner on “regular” theme park land?
The elusive modern day C ticket is probably the most confusing for me. In my mind there are E tickets, D tickets and then flat rides which I guess most are A tickets? Or are A tickets reserved for transportation rides? Actually shooter rides to me kind of fit that C ticket spot perfectly. If Monsters is a C ticket, is TSMM a B ticket?
Oh ya, insiders are wrong often (although sometimes I think that's because the plans actually changed) but the way you worded your post had me wondering if you actually read heard any rumors that indicated it was going in DL Forward. I think Bob's comment indicate the opposite. Feels like the more likely thing would be for them to start work on theme park proper/ DCA and the Eastern gateway.
Yeah very well might be the case they just break ground on the DCA site for Avatar - who knows!
To be honest, only E-tickets seem that well defined, in DCA I guess I'd say categorize some as follows:
E-ticket: Radiator Springs, Soarin', Mission Breakout, Incredicoaster,
D-ticket: Grizzly River Rapids, Toy Story Midway Mania,
C-ticket: Goofy's Sky School, Spider-Man, Monsters Inc, Little Mermaid (this was originally billed as a D ticket but has suffered)
B-ticket: Luigi's, Mater's, Inside Out spinner, Silly Swings, Zephyr
A-ticket: Red Car Trolley, Redwood Challenge Trail, Jellyfish jumpers
Lots of edge cases here: Mermaid could be a D, Web Slingers too maybe - but that's generally how I see it
Ok, I think C and D Tickets are probably the hardest to classify and generally where you'll find the most disagreement. I think GRR is most definitely an E ticket. I think if it had even just one impressive AA nobody would call it a D ticket. So if it's one Harold away from being an E than that means its already an E. Here's how I would classify them. I know most people probably consider Spiderman and TSMM D tickets.
E-ticket: Radiator Springs, Soarin', Mission Breakout, Incredicoaster, Grizzly River Run
D-ticket: Monsters Inc, Little Mermaid
C-ticket: Goofy's Sky School, Spider-Man, Toy Story Midway Mania,
B-ticket: Luigi's, Mater's, Inside Out spinner, Silly Swings, Zephyr, Jumpin Jellyfish
A-ticket: Red Car Trolley, Redwood Challenge Trail*
*Feels like it could/should be a B ticket. This is why I think in modern times we just need to lump A's and B's together. How can these dressed up carny rides rank higher than Redwood Challenge Trail. I know its not a ride but quality/ theming is much superior.
