That's like saying that Star Tours is a horrible attraction because the Star Speeder doesn't exist in the films.

My wife and I are Star Wars fans and also love Galaxy's Edge. We also brought 3 friends last year who are bigger Star Wars fans than us (they purchased a droid and a light saber whilst we didn't) and guess what, they loved it too.

My trip in February I set 3 out of 6 days dedicated to Hollywood Studios to specifically spend as much time in Galaxies Edge as I could. I loved exploring every nook finding all the small details. The Rise of the Resistance queue was extremely fun for me getting up close with the resistance flight suits since I am working on one myself. One of my favorite moments was while waiting in line for Ronto Roasters Vi noticed my shirt I was wearing and silently appeared at my side asking if I was there on "official Resistance business". Once I told her I was there to be a pilot we then had a solid 10 minute improv back and forth conversation about who was the better pilot, myself or Chewie haha!
From that great encounter to building my lightsaber and piloting the Falcon for the first time, then to top it all off with 2 great rides on Rise was one of the best trips I have had to Disneyworld. The land is simply incredible!
Well...

I am an even bigger Star Wars fan, I built my own screen accurate R2-D2, but I was not impressed with Galaxy's Edge. It's very immersive, but for the most part it wasn't an environment I really wanted to be immersed in.

Are you part of the R2 Builders club? Huge props to you for finishing one of them. That is a lot of work!

Yes, I did a post about my droid here:

I just noticed that this forum existed so I though it would be a good place to post about this project. I decided about a year ago that undertake building my own droid. I decided to try to build a full size R5-D4 (the droid that Luke's Uncle originally buys before it malfunctions). My main...

Of course you wouldn't because if you are with the fraternity on this site nothing is a personal attack...even when it is.
He stated opinion not fact, but nice try.

So he refuted my opinion with his opinion and that makes him right. You guys are funny.

And yet you actually have used personal attacks in some of your posts.
He stated his opinions and a couple of facts mixed in. Your post was entirely your opinion.

The Star Speeder is but a very small piece of a much larger ride.
The scenes through which you travel make up the main bulk of the ride.
For the hotel that ship is the entire central point of the attraction.
But apparently some people settle for replacements instead of real Star Wars.

I never said either one of you were right.

I never personally attacked him once, but again...nice try.
Once again incorrect, but of course you will see it that way because you are part of the fraternity.

You implied it in your rush to his defense.
But that's okay. I know what I'm getting into any time I post on this site...and what kind of people I have to deal with.

Actually you have used personal attacks in this thread.
What’s incorrect. Nothing in your post was anything but your opinion.
BromBones
Well-Known Member
Incorrect. But I'm sure someone took the stating of my opinion as a "personal attack".
Funny how his clear personal attack is not an attack to the fraternity...but my comments, which were not, automatically are.
Which is you opinion, however it is wrong.

Lol. What part of your post is not opinion?

Hey man, I'm not trying to get in the middle of an argument here. I'm not taking sides. Your opinion is absolutely valid. You're not the only person I've seen who was disappointed by GE. For example, @danlb_2000 shared his opinions above, and his feelings are similar to your own. I may disagree with y'all's opinion, but I didn't intend to insult your personal preferences.
I'm just saddened to see fans (on both sides of arguments like this) who use the "only the REAL Star Wars fans" approach. It comes up a lot, and it is just not a fair thing to say. There are no "real" SW fans; we all like the same thing. We just disagree on specific things to like and dislike within the franchise. And that's cool!
Anyways, I'm realizing now I probably shouldn't have gotten involved. This conversation didn't really concern me, and I feel like I'm not really helping matters. Plus, none of this is really on topic. I'm sorry GE didn't live up to your expectations, but I'm glad you enjoyed Rise! It really is an amazing experience!

That's fine, not everyone likes the same things Star Wars fans or not. My point was that somebody made the statement that the real fans don't want some new land, they wanted to see recreations of scenes and locations we saw in the movies and I was just clarifying that they were not speaking for all Star Wars fans. See below
Just quoting you to explain that not all Star Wars fans feel the same way as you said they did. I've no problem with you not liking it, but not all fans wanted what you did.
Another “real” Star Wars fan here that loved the land. Who knew I was such an outcast.
