The scheduling system that will allow for guests to be on the same narrative experiences without ever waiting in line, and the software that will make the robots able to generate their own stories and dialogue.

Ok, that's cool and all but what happens when they become self-aware, take control of the park, and decide to turn against all the guests??? This has me very uneasy.

That odd parking lot northeast of mickey and friends that I never noticed would be a good spot for easy guest access to Galaxy's Edge...

You mean the one off of Ball Rd? That is a CM parking lot. I won't bet on them changing that into a secondary entrance as CM parking is already limited.

Remember, Machete Order: IV, V, II, III, VI, VII and skip I and VIII entirely.

Machete Order was derived from 4,5,1,2,3,6...but...since Lucas abandoned the idea that Palpatine created Anakin after killing his master (that's what the whole midichlorian thing was about), you can really just skip 1 and 2 entirely and just go 4,5,3,6.

The story of Darth Plaglus creating life and then Palpatine stealing the knowledge to create Anakin was suppose to be plot of Knights of the Old Republic 3.

It was in the script for Revenge of the Sith. The scene is included in the behind the scenes making of book for Revenge of the Sith in it's entirety. Lucas eventually cut it, re-wrote it, just hinted at it in the opera scene. Why? Who knows why Lucas does anything. The whole point of Anakin's mysterious birth and freakish midi count in The Phantom Menace was because Palpatine used the Force to will Anakin into being. Anakin was suppsoed to learn this, realize he himself was living proof that the Sith could create and sustain life, which would justify his "turn" to save Padme. Then he used the Dark Side to sustain himself and keep himself alive, so when he let that go in Return of the Jedi, he was knowingly killing himself to save his son. I admire Lucas, but he's made some frustrating creative choices over the years.

It was also in some concept art and scripts for KOTOR3.

Palpy is that old? Explains that face of his, I guess.

One has to wonder if he removed it because of the parallels it already has with a certain Almighty figure and his birth story. There were already so many criticisms about the overt religious overtones of the series.

Darth Plagueis was. It was all concept anyway. Not part of legends or canon. Just kind of a cool story.

I think it really didn't add anything to the story flow but that never stopped Lucas before. He really was better when his ex-wife did the movie editing. The prequels show how no one could said no to him.

Funny, all the AIs we programmed to think they're human and released in the wild all seem to have that same worry...

So even the robots are paranoid?

Yep, you sure are.

Episode VIII was a tremendous let down from the setup that was The Force Awakens.

I don't know. I really enjoyed the first half of Force Awakens, but the whole movie feels like fan service with little thought put in. The 2nd half becomes a bore as we go for yet another trench run. Last Jedi was at least something new and different. It is a much stronger film, even if it trolls fanbois by not playing into hackey writing tropes. It isn't perfect, far from, but its still a better film.
