Just what everyone wanted a Death Star Spaceship Earth

[jt04]

Yeah, lets project an instrument of death on a symbol of life and human ingenuity. woohooo

This is an "instrument of death" in the same spirit as the hat box ghost or the dynamite exploding in Big Thunder.

Political correctness is so last year.

Good grief people. It's a harmless, one-time event. Nothing is being permanently changed. No operating hours are being impacted. No paying guest will be impacted or 'forced' to see this. The overwhelming majority of potential WDW guests will have absolutely no clue this event even happened. Outside of some people projecting negativity toward Disney for the sake of it, I can't see how this is an issue at all.

Nobody who doesn't want to see this will experience it or be impacted by it, and the next day it will be over and things will move on. What is the big deal?

Thank the Empire...They Invented it....

I like what you did there

Do they have projectors at Epcot?

They brought in temporary projectors back when they did the video spot for Monstrous Summer 24 hours back in 2013. Here's some screen grabs from the youtube video.

I'm sure it wouldn't take much to make them permanent.

Joy.

Itll just be one time for the bloggers, like Mike W and the dragon

IMO, every eligible surface should be turned into a Tree of Life Awakenings canvas. From a few fleeting shadows in windows to full-on five minute clips of Disney movies to newly created vignettes.

Exactly...The 3 other Hubs get a projection and SE is left in the dark (Seriously no color changing rotation to it since the 80's)...Let it have it's turn for once..

I agree. But also this technology is already loosing some of it's "wow" factor because most guests have already seen something similar. It's too bad Epcot, which Future World once featured the newest and latest technology, is the last park to get this. Just seems to me that Epcot is lately the dumping ground for the most random things.

After thinking that Disney was throwing Rogue One under the bus, I'm glad it's getting some attention with this and the Launch Bay additions. Should it get something in Star Tours? Yes, but apparently that's not happening.

Have I misconstrued the whole Big Thunder Mountain story the whole time???

Oh absolutely. I wouldn't be this restrained if it weren't!

Thank you. I found all the hand-wringing baffling as well.

Use it for the Back side during Illuminations rather than retro Lasers or onto pavillions would have been nice...

 

[csmat99]

Yeah I didn't quite understand what is going on at this event either. They call it a Star Wars celebration of rogue one and have the Death Star on spaceship earth but have very little details about what actually is going to happen.

We clearly know what this event is for. It's to get all the people that have criticized Iger and Disney in one place so the death start can take them all out with one blast.

Awesome, hope Hollywood Studios will announce more Star Wars character experiences and most of them could actually can autograph(except for the droids).

No more Star Wars autographs from the characters. Went hand in hand with all the retirements

 

[Coaster Lover]

I find it kind of funny that this is something that people have joked about Disney doing ever since Disney bought Star Wars and here it is happening...

 

[RSoxNo1]

It's cool that there doing this as a temporary thing, but anyone that's flipping out about this needs to relax. The potentially bigger information here is details on Star Wars Land.
