I would think of a better name, Batuu little time.

Granted we have had Dantooine and Tatooine.
But Ahch-to, Jakku, now Batuu. I actually like the name, but it just continues sort of the issue I had with Ep 7 that the planets were kinda forgettable. Having them all sort of rhyme I dont think helps

This is not quite true. Both Florida and Tokyo started out with the same well-kept look that Disneyland always had. It wasn’t until a decade or two later that the geometric gardens were ripped out in favor of overgrown foliage and the brick repainted to be weathered. @Djali999 could weigh in on this some more.

Indeed. Look at that beautiful front lawn with its perfectly-manicured faded neon Florida grass. Also, no awning or trees blocking your view of the dinky Wayne Manor house. It looks like the early 1970s employees used the benches George Lucas would eventually sit on as a makeshift barrier between the entrance and exit. Wow!

Surprised no one dropped this in here yet. Very detailed article from reporters that saw the blueprints.

I'm confused.
edit: That one diagram in the article is super incorrect. It doesn't show the land taking up any of the former backstage space.
Now I'm even more confused.
I think it sounds a lot like Naboo too. The land looks a bit like Naboo, to me.

It's confusing because that OC Register article is rather sloppy and almost pointless. The sketches and images they included, especially that park map, are wildly inaccurate and outdated. That park map left in all the support buildings that were torn down in 2015, and left the Big Thunder Ranch and Festival Arena that was torn down in 2016. They apparently let some intern come up with this map for the Friday deadline.
What we really need is a more recent version of this aerial image from last summer. There has been over four months of rapid construction since this was taken and I imagine there's a lot of new stuff to see if only we could get a Cessna up over the Resort area. Maybe for Christmas?

Or maybe we could pay a kid with a drone $50?
Anyway this is the kind of stuff Fresh Baked should be doing. Illegal stuff to give us angles of SWL we haven’t seen yet.

He reads the internet and regurgitates the rumors. In fact he's probably going to see this very comment. So I wouldn't post here saying that "calling his viewers 'Walt-ineers' is terribly cringe-worthy," because he might see that. Instead I would think of some compliments, such as, "the production quality is good," or "his accent is captivating."

And that's how the LA Times review of Episode 4: A New Hope described it. I remember reading a blowup of the review in an outside kiosk on opening night and it was my first indication that this was something extraordinary. I grew up on the pristine "Great Big Beautiful Tomorrow" of Star Trek, 2001, the Monsanto House of the Future, New York World's Fair, and the 1967 Tomorrowland. The environment of Star Wars was something new to me. It was a landmark night in my life.
