It's really unbelievable that they are using Kylo Ren as the villian in the ride. Ten years from now, I doubt anyone will remember him. I doubt many people care about him right at this very minute. I suppose they could always change out characters later, but Disney's arrogance about their IP is getting ridiculous.

I have a feeling Kylo will become a cult fan favorite as time goes by. Also if they can keep his helmet on during the entire attraction, even the screen bits, it should help with longevity.

They already have a cult fan favorite, several of them, but they choose the whiney, baby who wears a helmet with a voice changer, not out of medical nesessity, but so people actually don't point and laugh at what a terrible villain he really is. Oh, well, at least it'll help ink out every last cent from the new movie, since that's what's really important to Disney these days. It's certainly not about making the best attractions, with the most iconic, well loved characters. :rolleyes:

OK - here's how the RotR ride is all supposed to work, according to Attractions Magazine

1. You will enter the Blue transport ship and be spun around 180-degrees to the other side but you think you are traveling in space. While on the way through the galaxy, the ship will be captured by the First Order. This will force the ship to land inside of a First Order Star Destroyer hangar.

2. Guests will exit the pre-show ship into a hangar. This will be one of the largest rooms of the entire building, complete with animatronic stormtroopers, TIE fighters and a picturesque view of space. Guests will be told to, “move along,” as they are taken to individual load rooms, themed to First Order prison cells.

3. Guests will be taken from the huge hangar area on the left into the hallways. Here, they will be grouped into the smaller pre-show rooms. These secondary pre-shows are expected to have a droid of some kind that will explain safety procedures and move the story along, much like how Rocket Raccoon does in Guardians of the Galaxy – Mission: BREAKOUT! at Disney California Adventure.

4. Guests will then be loaded into one-of-two different trackless First Order transport vehicles. These two ride vehicles will accompany each other during the entire experience. Once guests are loaded in, the vehicle is sent out of the room for processing.

Now, while there are four showrooms, equaling eight different ride vehicles, it is expected that there will never be more than two vehicles in the same room. The two vehicles that start together will never be separated for more than a few seconds.

5. From this point, the two buddy transports will enter the blue-colored room, and shortly after, a rogue droid will drive across the upper bridge. This droid will hack into the First Order mainframe, gaining control of your vehicles – which will suddenly take off, as your escape mission begins.

6. The two ride vehicles will exit the large first room in an extremely high-detailed area, which is meant to look like hallways inside of a First Order Star Destroyer. The real excitement begins when the vehicles turn a corner to come face-to-face with an animatronic Kylo Ren! His saber will ignite as the vehicles back up in retreat. They’ll spin around and go down the second turn, only to enter the AT-AT room.

7. This is where the vehicles will become separated, each going up their own elevator shaft on either side of the room.

8. Once guests have gone up the elevator shaft, they will be on the “second” floor of the building. In reality, guests will be more than 40 feet up – which is important later.

They will twist and turn in their own vehicle and head down a short hallway before the two buddy vehicles meet up again. Both vehicles will see each other and turn as they quietly go under an elevated area.

This elevated area will have a two animatronics, Kylo Ren and possibly General Hux. They are expected to be talking about the sudden Resistance fighters that are attacking the ship. They have come to save the guests!

9. From there, guests will sneak away from the meeting and enter the gun room. A row of these guns will be blasting off into space as the two buddy vehicles drive under them, looking for a way out. Guests will feel the power as these guns shoot, recoil and reload. The accompanying screens on the right will show the Resistance fleet getting blasted at on massive screens meant to portray space.

10. The two buddy vehicles will once again meet up with Kylo Ren as he swings his lightsaber towards them, causing visible burn and gash marks on the walls. Kylo will nearly grab the guests when the Star Destroyer ship will be hit by a huge blast. This blast will cause Kylo Ren to get caught between a broken piece of the ship and the guests.

11. he two buddy vehicles may get a call from the Resistance ships to find an escape pod. The hacked vehicles will add the coordinates and take off. They almost make it before meeting up with Kylo Ren one last time. He uses the force to hold up the room as he comes at you, but at the last second, a wall collapses which causes him to focus all his attention on not getting hit.

12. The buddy vehicles aggressively back up, each swerving into their own escape pod. This is where the rumors about the Tower of Terror-style drop emerge.

The escape pods are actually elevator shafts that will drop guests from the highest point of the building. This drop will be accompanied by more high-end screens and will make guests feel as though they just shot off into space. The windows of the escape pods will show guests twisting, turning and falling back to the planet of Batuu.

13. Guests will crash land their pod in an old warehouse. The two buddy vehicles will then roll out of the escape pods and end up here, the unload area.

Cult fans are cult fans for a reason. There doesn't have to be logic to it.

I personally didn't think Kylo was that bad as a character. It showed a troubled kid with lots of inner turmoil of trying to live in the shadow of his great military and political parents, his Jedi uncle, and an evil Sith grandfather. In some ways you almost want to root for him, in other ways you feel sorry for him. Bottom line its a character that will grow into cult fan favorite over time.

one thing that just stands out as just flat out wrong about this resisstance ride to me is why would the first order even have AT-ATs on board a star destroyer and why would they allow a non precision vehicle to fire in the star destroyer possibly destroying their own ship for some escaped prisoners in a slow moving rv??? Disney wants it in there because "it's a star wars ride we need AT-ATs, AT-ATs" but logically it makes no sense for that vehicle to be in there let alone start firing around the room. just one of the things Disney did not think about logically like not having us walk on the physical falcon outside the que for the smuggler's run ride.

OT Darth Vader > Kylo Ren > PT Darth Vader

In fact I think Kylo is essentially Abrams and Kasdan’s “How I’d have told the Anakin story.”

Anyway, was this article run through a Google translator or something?

Star Destroyers did carry a small group of AT-ATs and had a drop ship (Theta class AT-AT barge) specifically designed to deploy a single AT-AT as needed.

http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Theta-class_AT-AT_barge

So its not Disney just doing to because they want to, although they could because well they own it, but its actually canon.

As for the firing within the ship, how many of the SW movies have we seen where there is firing inside a ship. Um, like all of them, long before Disney ever owned Lucas.

no AT-AT ever fired in a ship in the original trilogy because not even Lucas is that stupid. and all I know is the OT never showed AT-ATs or TIE FIGHTERS being stored in in a star destroyer. now one would assume for the battle of hoth they got down to the planet by some sort of transport ship that must has stored them because a star destroyer can't enter a planet's atmosphere, but again Disney even managed to mess that up in ROGUE ONE when they showed a start destroyer in orbit. gee if the empire could bring a star destroyer into orbit with all it's fire power that would have been a better weapon to use on the hoth base than a slow moving , non precision, vehicle that is used just to scorch the earth around it. Disney does not understand STAR WARS nor will it ever.
