I'm told the Starcruiser PR event will begin on 2/24. It looks like there are two separate "tracks" for the event:
  • National outlets get the full two-day experience
  • Smaller outlets get a half-day of playing around, plus interviews with Imagineers
So look for the media onslaught to begin in about 10 days.

It is going to be fascinating to see from many angles. Will be interesting to see who dares to really say what they think as well.

I still don't know why people were so shocked by the ending. It's not like the show was amazing and then suddenly fell apart over 4 or 5 episodes; seasons 6 and 7 were nowhere near the overall quality of earlier seasons, and even 5 was up and down (almost all of the stuff with Dorne and the Sand Snakes was cringeworthy). They still had massive, exciting set pieces, though, and I think people were just so focused on those that they didn't pay as much attention to the decline in storytelling until the ending hit them in the face.

Funny thing, I never hear the GOOD idea of how you have an army of undead with tons of "magical" powers, an undead dragon, and a guy who can raise the dead as he kills his enemies get defeated by a bunch of normal people with swords. Oh, and they have a witch that can raise one person fro mthe dead if she REALLY tries.

Or how those same folks kill a crazy woman on a flying dragon. You know, except the Smaug way, which had been stolen once already.

Go ahead, I'll wait...

What does that have to do with my point?

There are other options hinted at in the books that the show chose not to pursue, but none of that has anything to do with the decline in quality I'm referring to. Following the books was not a requirement to maintain quality. The overall writing quality declined precipitously over the last few seasons; the show lost internal consistency.

If anything, the episodes you're referring to was part of my point. People loved those big set piece episodes and didn't pay attention to how poor the moment to moment dialogue and plotting had become since the early seasons.

This would immediately make the Halcyon the oldest Disney cruise ship. The Magic has been in use since 1998. However, assuming Han and Leia went on the Halcyon a few years after ROTJ, then the 30 years that separate that film and TFA means that, technically, the Halycon has been in operation for a longer period than the Magic's 24 years.

Also never forget that Lucas wrote the story and produced those two Ewok movies.

And yet, despite their cheesiness, they're still more fun than any of the Star Wars theatrical releases after Rogue One.

Their biggest problem was the fact that they allegedly take place *before* RotJ, however Wicket somehow understands English and the Ewoks recognize humans as friends.....despite a year later when Wicket can only speak his native language, gets freaked out at a helmet, and the Ewoks decide that humans and wookiees are on the menu.

If the Ewoks movies had taken place *after* RotJ, I think they'd be remembered a bit more fondly.


But oh well, at least we got Blurrgs back.

Perhaps it's just different strokes for different folks. I've heard tales of how incredibly bad the Star Wars Holiday Special was, but after rewatching these 2 movies last week (first time since childhood) I can't help but assume the special has to be much better. Honestly I am floored that those projects made it out of the cutting room.

No. You are hereby guilty of making a bad assumption. As punishment, you are hereby sentenced to watch it.

So this is where Han and Leia go wrong and they produce the half assed character Kylo Ren.

"Come spend time their honeymoon cruise ship...ignore the stupid sequel trilogy part of them separating where Han goes back to smuggling and producing a wanna be psycho who kills his dad."

Bravo! Great tie in!
