News Star Wars Galaxy's Edge Disneyland opening reports/reviews

[Disney Irish]

Why was Vi the hologram? I thought it was supposed to be Rey. Didn't Daisy Ridley even comment about being filmed 360 for the ride? Maybe the footage isn't finished. Maybe they think Vi is more marketable than the main stay of the new trilogy.

Could it be that Rey is later in the attraction.

Or how about misdirection. Wouldn't be the first time a Star Wars preview had something to hide the real outcome. It wouldn't even be the first time Disney has done it, Marvel previews all the time show things that end up being false in order to misdirect the audience.

Probably not modeled after a movie.

It was in response to Carsland layout.

Wait, what?!

Wait, what?!

This has always been known. It’s a motion base drop element with screen use to simulate leaving a warship and heading to earth.

Chapek GE Interview

When asked about the possibility of creatures and droids roaming the land, Chapek says Galaxy’s Edge will grow over time and add elements, but he also comments that it already has more characters than any other land because each Cast Member has their own backstory.

As soon as RotR opens all this stuff will be in the dust... then they'll add a droid or two and everyone will buy Blue Milk and be happy and sing songs.

K, I'll hush up then.

Do those cast members get paid as much as face characters?

I had a great first visit to Batuu 2 weeks ago. I thought the land was gorgeous, though the Smuggler's Run is themed too well I felt like we were in the wrong part of Tijuana at some point on the top floor. The ride itself was a blast but I had the luxury of riding with 5 people and being one of the pilots. Everyone behind us didn't look as excited as we did exiting but our whole group enjoyed the ride. We also had reservations at the Catina and we all had a great time there. The Fuzzy Tauntaun is the way to go. We asked our bartender if she could refill it with that mouth-numbing fuzzy stuff and she did. She was really upbeat and happy to have us at her bar-top.

I walked around the land & checked out everything as much as I could. My only complaint seems to echo others, as there isn't much to do outside of shopping. I was actually done with the land after some time, unlike Diagon Alley or Hogsmeade which I always want to stay around or visit the next day. More entertainment & maybe some of those interactive elements heading to the Star Wars hotel should make it's way into the land. I also tried the blue milk and liked it. It was pretty much a smoothie which I didn't mind on a hot day. Use the mobile order at this stand! No one was using it so I was able to cut a long line.

One upgrade in Florida's GE. According to MC, at the milk stand you can get Blue Milk with Rum and Green Milk with tequila.

TSA bans Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge ‘thermal detonator’ Coke bottles from checked and carry-on luggage

That’s bad news for Star Wars fans who want to bring home the unique bottles of ‘the real thing’ as souvenirs from Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge at Disneyland and Disney’s Hollyw…

Just watched the Florida GE dedication and they had a CM in a very impressive Hondo costume talking to the crowd. Of course, this will never be repeated for the regular guests. Seems like a miss, since a regular complaint is that most guests don't know or care about Hondo. So why not have him interacting with crowds? Just have him walk across the land telling people he needs crew members and to meet him at the Transport Solutions building.

 

[LieutLaww]

He was out earlier as well before the ceremony doing some stuff with the crowd

 

[SSG]

The dopiest part of Chapek's approach is the CMs have created back stories about themselves, but who cares about it? People go there and to meet the characters they know. It seems a bit meh to hear the guy selling you a blue milk isn't Kyle from Tustin; he's Ky'le from.....Batuu, I guess. Because they all are.

Edit:

I was always under the impression that it was going to stop on multiple simulators throughout the ride.The Micechat quote leads me to believe now that it may only be the finale. Maybe they got cut? Or scrapped due to the issues. Or maybe the never existed

Alicia is still saying there are moments of it strapping into a moving base, like Kong does etc.

Oh cool ya that’s what I meant by simulator. I guess without a screen, is a simulator still a simulator? Anyway, that’s good to hear.
