I guess all I'm trying to say is, I'd expect that kind of description for the Battle Escape attraction, not the land as a whole.
"WHY'D YOU TELL HIM?!?!?""Man that Michael Jordan is so phony!"
Double points since that actor was in the first POTC movie."Man that Michael Jordan is so phony!"
Jack Sparrow use to engage in combat as a walk around person. The live pirates in NOS did some skullduggery along with sing songs.If the Pirates were walking around NOS engaging in combat and skullduggery, I'd see your point. But POTC is hardly me as a guest put in an "epic battle".
I have literally never seen that. But something tells me it won't be as "jaw-dropping" as Iger insinuates.Jack Sparrow use to engage in combat as a walk around person. The live pirates in NOS did some skullduggery along with sing songs.
The indians use to raid the fort back in Walt's day. They even shot that settler and burned his house.

It's gonna have to be a "wait and see" type thing. But yeah, I wouldn't be surprised if a group of Storm Troopers periodically pass through and accost (Disney-style) guests while eating or shopping.After close reading, I think the reporter was being a little loose with the ride description, and started using it to apply to the whole land.
I'm sure storyline-wise, the land is a spot where "be careful, cause you never know what brawl could break out, or when a stormtrooper raid might take place" is the theme. Like the stormtroopers standing guard on the second level of the concept art. Something could happen, but the real action is on the rides.
It would be cool if they had a live stunt show in the middle of the land. It would be kind of like how Indiana Jones had fights with bad guys in the middle of Adventureland.It's gonna have to be a "wait and see" type thing.

Again...when in the world has this actually happened??? I miss everything.It would be cool if they had a live stunt show in the middle of the land. It would be kind of like how Indiana Jones had fights with bad guys in the middle of Adventureland.
Perhaps. I'm not saying you're wrong...but that's just my perception of it. I've never set foot in a land before where I was told to expect active warfare going on around me.
They did this in the summer of 2008. You even had to find artifacts on the Jungle Cruise. Only the life preserver from the Coronado still exists.Again...when in the world has this actually happened??? I miss everything.

Oh no, I'm sure it was unprecedented in its time. My comments on all that stem from the article where Bob Iger calls stepping into SWL as stepping into an "epic battle between the first order and rebel alliance". Like, am I to expect random laser battles to go on around me??You honestly don't think when POTC opened in 1967, the ship/cannon attack on the fortress was considered epic? My mind would freaking melt if I saw something like that in 1967 --- just as it did when I saw it for the first time in the early 80s as a child.

True enoughHaha, I never take those company press statements at face value. They're always a bit exaggerated. Imagine if any attractions actually lived up to any of those descriptions!
