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

[mickEblu]

It's there: The Starspeeder arrives on Jakku, where it follows the Millennium Falcon (with Finn aboard) as it is pursued by TIE fighters over the desert landscape. The Starspeeder crash-lands within the remains of a Star Destroyer, where scavengers pry the Star Tours logo off the Starspeeder.

My bad. Missed it. I'm at work. I should probably work. But Im a Xenial and I don't want to.

I always found a part of the Jakku scene strange. Finn appears to be flying the Millennium Falcon (it's impressive that they got John Boyega to cameo), however the character isn't a pilot. They make a point of that in the movie. I've never really been bothered by the fly by night continuity of the events we encounter, it's a necessary sin. Yet, in spite of myself, that little detail needles me every time.

@mickEblu, you've taught me a new term today! Technically I'm one year off the xenial range, but it the description seems to fit.

Hahah I just learned the term myself from someone else on these boards.

I always took it as him being in the gunner seat, since he’s wearing the same headset that he wears in the movie.

Right - and having seen more of the galaxy than Rey has, he'd be in a position to recognize an errant Star Tours ship.

AS IF ANY OF THIS NON-CANON, GREATEST-HITS, TIME-TRAVELLING STAR TOURS STUFF MATTERS.

The latest Star Wars Land update from ShesinLosAngeles is here.

Here's another from ShesinLosAngeles:



Plus – I love this shot at the end showing how the new rockwork will blend in with Frontierland, while also serving as good way-finding wienie for those looking to know where Star Wars land is:

Remember when people were speculating that SW Land wouldn't be visible from other areas in the park?

Did people really think they wouldn't be able to see some of the taller peaks?

Apparently so.

Here's a shot from the Fresh Baked guys which has me thinking:

I don't mind seeing the peaks from Toontown, but I mind seeing exposed beams. Look at the far left peak, there's no 'toothpicks' coming off of it to support scaffolding. That looks like that is the extent to which that particular peak will be covered in sculpted concrete. If so, then, well, does this mean Toontown's time is limited, or does it mean Disney simply doesn't care if you can see exposed beams from Toontown?

Perhaps Toontown will be evolving? If they wanted to put the Mickey ride anywhere it would make even more sense here than in DCA. This is an interesting observation though. It doesn't look like they intend to finish that side.

I'm going with ..

A) Toontowns time is limited
B) The beams will in fact be covered in sculpted concrete. We re just not seeing something.
C) They plan to hide those beams some other way. (Some more Toontown Hills there maybe?)
D) Disney doesn't care

 

[britain]

Oh, I said far left peak. I meant far right.

 

[Disney Irish]

Oh, I said far left peak. I meant far right.

I kept wondering which one on the left you meant lol. I expect the one on the right to be filled in shortly, its not finished.

Its likely a combination of A and B, and maybe C.

 

[vancee]

Oh please, just demolish Toontown already! A Fantasyland expansion would be way better...

I think C. They may paint or wrap it like the back of Everest.

Wasn't Frozen going in there???
