News Star Wars: Galaxy's Edge - Historical Construction/Impressions

[Ismael Flores]

After seeing the latest videos I am really curious to see what they do with the tiered retaining walls they added after all the rockwork was up.
They filled them up with soil and now planted some trees in them but now those retaining walls look unnatural in front of the rockwork.
I wonder if they will skin them and add more rock pieces or if they are planning on adding tall grasses to hide them

That's where we meet Dreamfinder and Figment before fighting stormtroopers.

Lol!!!!!!

This goofball claimed to have "cracked the code" for Battle Escape, but I hate to break it to him this is definitely not for Battle Escape. BE is going to be trackless, now it is possible that this could be for the millennium falcon or it could just be Disney filing patents because they can.

per @marni1971's info, this patent has nothing to do with SWL. Sorry, FB. Keep trying.

I like that guy though. Very unique voice. He's a like a Disney character come to life.

Fresh Dave- if you see this. Consider a career in voice acting.

After reviewing the construction process and given the success of the new themed land based on James Cameron's Avatar...

It's not too late to forget about this whole Star Wars thing and transform this place into...Southampton Port!

The big building becomes Titanic itself containing Disney's most ambitious attraction ever where you can take the journey. They can even leave the construction cranes and connect it to the Rivers of America.

Not sure it's even for the Falcon ride. We have seen several patent applications that have not been implemented...yet. I think we should be skeptical about assuming that this is the ride system for the Falcon ride.

LOL. I loved the proposal for a Titanic themed hotel/casino in Vegas. The ship would have been the hotel and the iceberg the casino. I imagine the ocean as the parking structure.

The Falcon ride has seven theaters on a turntable. That is not the Falcon ride either.

Yeah, it's just you. But we're glad you're here.

Not all pride goeth before a fall. Sometimes hubris just pans out and makes a boat load of money.

Oh, snap! I am soooo stealing that!

Our favorite lady blogger has more video of Star Wars construction. Judging by the June Gloom (it's a SoCal thing, you wouldn't understand) and hundreds of guys working, this looks to be taken on Tuesday morning, June 6th.

A third floor is going on top of the Alcatraz ride. That building is HUGE!

3rd floor ! Damn its gonna be a monster of a building then it needs all its facade work put on top of that too

EXACTLY!!! This is what we haven't been talking about very much. Even the most simplified renderings show rock towers that extend high above the height of the roofs. We can see some of the footings on the roof, but there's a lot yet to come. Look at the difference in height between the RSR show building and the Cadillac Range. We think these buildings are big now, but whoa, Nelly, we ain't seen nothin' yet! Just watch M&F structure disappear from down river. (At least that's what I hope will happen, along with two killer attractions.)

Looks like we re going to have to fly in some full grown Sequoias from Mariposa Grove.

By "third floor" are you talking about those little pop-up structures on top of the building?

An interesting watch if it does relate to the Battle Escape attraction.

Interesting first 10 seconds...that's about all I could get through.

This just in from D23.com...

"At the Walt Disney Parks and Resorts pavilion, guests will discover “A Galaxy of Stories,” with an exclusive first-look at some of the locations, starships, creatures, and droids that will bring Star Wars to life when the new lands open in 2019––not to mention the fully detailed model of the overall vision! The pavilion will be available to “ooh” and “aah” over all weekend long on the D23 Expo show floor."

And then they need to duplicate those models and have them at DL and WDW for theme park goers to drool over, and have the WDW set up before Oct this year
