X-wings are used throughout the sequel trilogy, and this specific design is the one used in those movies. There's literally still one of them outside the queue of Rise (and the Falcon has an entire ride dedicated to it).…meh…way too “original trilogy”…
…we know that our marketing people assure us that people down want that
(I was in the LEGO store yesterday and had was completely reinforced…of course )
The ships aren't one of the things that Disney have been criticized for not taking from the OT when designing the land. It's the characters, story and environments. Whatever reason they had for retiring this thing, having connections with the OT had nothing to do with it. It likely was deemed more trouble than they were willing to deal with. Hence all of the broken effects in Rise.
There's some spin on either side, but the company is definitely not doing nearly as well as they claim. They've sort of run out of Covid related excuses too. There's ample truth in the film division struggling severely right now, and hotel bookings aren't doing well either. The parks, and unfortunately paid Genie+/LL, are likely contributing a lot to keeping things manageable.Entirely possible of course, but I don't really think the earnings reports for Disney suggest that they even would need to go in debt (more) to fund the planned spend for the Parks division. I'm moreso pointing out that there seems to be significant variation on how different people are characterizing the financial status of the company in terms of their ability to invest more in the parks.
They'll be taking on quite a bit of debt if they do invest what they promised. Even a relatively healthier company would as well. Not a complaint on my part that they ARE willing to invest that sort of cash. Just saying that they are struggling financially and this will indeed have an effect.
