I hear the Rise of the Resistance opening ceremony is going to be pretty interesting.

How would this even work? Wouldn't dozens of people crowd around him once they realize?

Universal has been doing this by limiting it to unannounced enclosed spaces (most recently with Us at HHN).

So Mark wandering into Savi’s instead of the Yoda voice over? Daisy stepping in to do a live briefing on the Alcatraz mission instead of the video? Boyega being aboard the troop transport? Oscar working on his X-wing in the queue?

It’s doable without destroying crowd flow entirely.

Starting Dec 3rd and going through Dec 6th, there will be multiple events occurring at Hollywood Studios for the Rise of the Resistance opening. The big media event will be on Dec 3rd, but other events will likely be open to the public. There will be quite a few special things happening.

I also hear that some of the walk around characters may look surprisingly accurate for short, random times.

OMG Daisy Ridley!

Every time I see this, I think of Flight of the Conchords.

Anyone else?

I saw it yesterday and assumed it was staging for some Christmas decorations or how they used to build those for the cheerleaders. It didnt appear to be any larger than their usual tents.

 

[TJJohn12]

I'm going to be there for the opening, so this sounds very exciting! I hope I'm lucky.

No inside info here, @realBobChapek. More just puzzling over how it could be done. *You’d* have better inside info than me anyways.

Don't forget Harrison Ford!

I saw a little of the plans today for the ride opening. Let's just say if you are going to it, you may want to wear a Tie. They want everyone on their best behavior, so they will not allow any Fighters in. And no matter now boring it is, they don't want any Boeing. You just need to sit there and listen to the bigwigs Drone on.

As for the Size Of the stage, I have no idea, but I am sure it will be A good show. You will be in awe until you get in your Car and have to go home.

If they can pull that off.....well.....much better than poorly timed sound effects, a gruff Harrison Ford and fireworks.

 

[LiterallyNobody]

The temporary infrastructure and AV stuff needed for these events start to get installed this weekend. You should see visible changes by early next week.

Don't forget Harrison Ford!

If he doesn't (a) land on a taxiway or (b) crash on a golf course...

Han is dead. He doesn't belong in SWGE.

Han is dead. He doesn't belong in SWGE.

No one's ever really gone.

No one's ever really gone.

Exact words that Disney marketing told the execs after TLJ.

 

[SpoiledBlueMilk]

A large Tie drone built by Boeing? The Boeing part has me the most interested. I hope it's used more then once at DHS.

Just wait until it's internal AoA sensor goes wonky and crashes into the entrance to the ride.

Those were isolated issues. He will actually be arriving by landing the millennium falcon by the entrance of Batuu and escorted by the man himself! @realBobChapek
