New Star Tours Droid: Aly San San?

[_Scar]

It sounds like George named her.

He did. The blog says he suggested "Aly San San"

No thank you.

How rude!




(I was being sarcastic, I hate part 1)

He (she? It?) will be the token jerk of the office. :ROFLOL: :ROFLOL: :ROFLOL:

Disney Parks blog confirms it:

Allison Janney! Excellent choice.

 

[Thrill Seeker]

She's apparently just the spokesbot. There is a new pilot droid as well...

 

[RandySavage]

I have no idea who Allison Janney is - does she have a Brooklyn/New York/New Jersey accent? I recall from Attack of the Clones that the waitress droid was based on Flo and had a Jersey accent (i.e., "I'll be right wich you, honey")

God, I hope they don't insert those ridiculous accents (chinese/jersey/etc.) of the Star Wars prequels into Star Tours 2.

Uh, she's pretty popular and a great actress! There's no way to categorize her, she has an amazing range in roles from Lost to West Wing to Finding Nemo, etc.

Why can't a droid or some figure that WAS ACTUALLY IN STAR WARS LEAD YOUR TOUR(S)? God forbid...

maybe its Hoth talk for "veggie, fruit, fruit"

Presumably the droids from the movies that we know the most about are now famous around the galaxy. Why would a now-famous droid be delegated to guiding lowly vacation tours? It makes sense that it is something you never heard of before.

 

[JEANYLASER]

Awesome!

 

[worldfanatic]

Actually I would rather them create new characters and expand the universe. It's like you're in that world but it's bigger than just the movies.

I agree.
A mix of the old familiar characters along with new characters (exclusive to the parks) works perfect for me.

Is the robot Japanese?

(you have to know the Japanese honorifics to get that lame joke)

Meet your pilot, the Honorable Allison.

Popular? I had no idea who she was.

 

[yeti]

I just hope Aly Jan Jan is better as this than she was at playing the "Mother"...

 

[mp2bill]

A.S.S...funny

 

[mp2bill]

Popular? I had no idea who she was.

Are you new to America?

Actually, I thought her performance elevated a very weak episode. A lesser actress would have meant the whole hour was given over to cryptic melodrama.

No that would be lame. I've always loved that Star Tours was kind of independent from the Star Wars mythos.

She was great in American Beauty as well!

Yeah because REX was in Star Wars. Personally, I think it's great. She's got a great voice for this.

 

[oommggitskait]

I love her work. West Wing was likely her biggest role, no? She was in Juno, Away We Go, etc.
Regardless, I agree with pp's, she does have a great voice for it.
