If you are getting a reservation a month in advance to visit a bar, you should probably rethink your life.

Absurd, isn’t it?

Fun Fact every 'Star Wars' fan needs to know -

Obi Wan is drinking Romulan Ale in this scene.

It's true....
All of it!

Wheres the Dasani one? Even in the slums of Batuu they know Dasani is crap.

The whole land needed to be more like these soda carts.

Interesting comment yesterday from Scott Trowbridge about the state of Disneyland's Rise of the Resistance ride: "California is pretty much in the same place that Florida is right now. So we're just testing and adjusting."

Can anyone tell me if this thread is spoiler free or not in regards to Rise of the Resistance? Thank you.

A thread with "reviews" is by definition full of spoilers unless specifically told there won't be spoilers.

So, yes. Spoilers. Avert thine eyes.

Well, at least Disney has a place to bring all their bigwigs and big bucks people to so that they don't disrupt DHS's RotR...

 

[DisneyDrum]

It's actually pretty insulting - the most prevalent criticism of SWGE is that it is an abandoned, lifeless movie set. So how to they fix that? Wandering aliens, droids, bounty hunters, Jedi? Nope, a tricked out ODV cart. See, we ARE investing in what we care about!

I like the cart, don’t get me wrong, but wow, simply, wow.

I don't know about elsewhere, but in SoCal I'm getting bombarded with this video ad for Galaxy's Edge:



So much for not needing to advertise the expansion.

My wife doesn't follow Disney, and her reaction was this ad made her less interested in going. "It all looks so dark and depressing. It doesn't fit with Disneyland." To hear this from someone who hasn't been following this thread, makes me think some of the fan criticism might hold long term. Rise of the Resistance will help, but it can't fix the fundamental design.

So where was Ian McDiarmid? He could totally do his Emperor's voice while on the Star Destroyer hanger bay. I'm sure Dave Prowse would have loved to be there if he wasn't so sick.

One last question about my first visit to Galaxy's Edge. Which of the three entrances will make the best first impression?

i think this one is probably a matter of opinion as there is not one WOW factor entrance like the Cannery Row entrance at Cars Land. But if I had to pick I’d go with either the Fantasyland or Frontierland entrances.

 

[mickEblu]

I have to disagree. Critter Country is the dramatic long entrance and the other ones you just walk right into the land.

Dramatic? It’s the new Big Thunder Trail the remix with an X Wing behind a fence. You can’t even really appreciate the rock work from that side can you?

So where was Adam Driver during this press event? You know. The one that can actually act?

Probably, you know, actually acting for a new film that's gonna be far better then TROS or something?

 

[captveg]

Driver is likely busy doing promotion and awards season schmoozing for Marriage Story.
