It's a solid 5/10 attraction. It's okay when you ride it, but utterly forgettable after you've finished.
The crack and the smoke in the pre screen queue was the highlight.

I was in Hollywood Studios on both Saturday and Sunday this weekend. Both times, I heard at least 10 different groups of people singing 'Nothing Can Stop Us Now' all over the park: coming out of MMRR, in queues, waiting for their food, while they waiting for Fantasmic to start. The attraction resonates with people a lot more than these boards likes to admit.
The person you're responding to has established themself to be clearly at odds with the sentiment of the rest of these forums on most matters.

I can see why DHS/ GMR fans may be disappointed. It’s a solid addition to Toontown though even if it’s missing a certain je ne sais quoi. Or maybe I do know what it is- it needs more physical set pieces, props, AAs etc.
If every scene felt more like the big city scene I think it would be universally viewed as a hit.

The song is an ear worm. It’s easily the most memorable thing about the attraction.

Until they start making trackless rides with trackless scenery that can move around and take up space, it will just continue to feel like I'm going through a big warehouse with interesting things happening on screens at the edges. I don't think the range of movement for the ride vehicles makes up for the emptiness, but if they could put in scenery or animatronics that also move, still allowing free movement of the ride vehicle, like... Belle and the Beast dancing around the room while you orbit around them, maybe? I think they could do scenery at least, range-free animatronics would probably need some advancements and investment, but geez, wouldn't that be something to see? Of course it would also introduce the probability it would break down every 45 minutes...

Pooh's Honey Hunt & Rise of the Resistance are good example of trackless rides in my opinion.

Ok, yeah, Rise does it pretty well, but it does so many things I didn't even think of it. Hunny Hunt is the one in Tokyo, right? I've never been and for some reason never watched a ride through.

Yes, I believe either Tokyo or Hong Kong, I can’t remember which park. I’ve only seen the ride through on YouTube, but it looks great.

I will say MMRR makes me appreciate ROTR more. ROTR doesn’t feel nearly as warehouse-y. Perhaps a bit sterile and monochrome but ROTR does a good job of mixing it up with some more intimate scenes in smaller spaces.

You’re supposed to be on a Star Destroyer, sterile and monochrome is kind of the vibe.

Pooh’s Hunny Hunt is at Tokyo Disneyland and has trackless show elements.

Right. Not necessarily the escapism I’m looking for personally but they definitely did a great job with it.

A lot of elements of this list were created and then locked behind the galactic starcruiser paywall

Definitely a poor decision.
We have one (show) lightsaber in the whole land and it’s the least effective effect on ROTR. I think that room would be better if they just flickered the lights, kept us in complete darkness and then lets us hear Rens voice with a lightsaber sound effect.

While I do think it's a popular ride, that anecdote doesn't really say anything other than the fact the song is catchy.
I think the ride is fine, not anything special, but that song is a definite earworm.

Unfortunately that is there to stay. I believe it’s a speaker or fan or….something. Has been there since Day 1. Bothers me too.
