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

[George Lucas on a Bench]

Will the spaceships fly? That's what it shows in the preview art.

I have this gut feeling that ROTR could have two costumes. One Resistance costume for the entrance/pre-show/exit and then a First Order for the loading process of the attraction. Then again you could just have one Resistance costume since the story revolves around getting getting taken hostage by the Resistance.

I have said the same thing. I would expect the attractions CMs to have two rotations--one inside (First Order) and one outside (Resistance) with separate costumes. I expect at least one of my friends Bothan Spies to attend the reveal on Tuesday.

Well, of course. I fully expect to see guests go up the ramp onto the Millenium Falcon and then I'll watch it take off.

..well, they got the second X-Wing today, I would guess it'll be the next thing to come.
I'll ask around and see what shows up. That makes 2 X-Wings, 1 A-Wing, 1 Falcon, 1 IT-S transport, yeah TIE should be next.

We now have 3 x-wings in disneyland. Two in Batuu and the other in Star Trader store.

NOBODY laughs at me....but has that been there the whole time? How did I manage to miss that lol.

It was originally here.

It was originally here.

Yes, it was there previously, but it was originally originally in Star Traders in the 80's & 90's. It was on a platform of sorts, trying to find a picture...

 

[SWGalaxysEdge]

Any indications when the TIE-Fighter is going to be installed?

...found the permit for the TIE fighter. It reads:
"Disneyland - SW - DL Frontierland Expansion - Bldg 10040 - Tenant Improvement: Interior prefabricated show set Tie Fighter being built offsite and will be bolted into place in the facility attraction #1 "

 

[SWGalaxysEdge]

Just confirmed from my source - there is only 1 way into the Falcon ride, through the tower and only 1 way out - through the hole behind the tower. There are NOT 2 exits.

I think you are thinking Disneyland Paris.

 

[Phroobar]

Hong Kong also has a X-wing sitting on a platform over at Hyper Space Mountain.

No, I'm thinking of the Character Shop / Star Traders. I've emailed Werner Weiss of Yesterland to try to find a picture.

That's the current picture. He is looking for one from Star Tours's grand opening in '87 I believe.

Thanks but no, that's after Star Tours 2.0. You can see the silhouettes of the characters up on the second level. I'm talking about when the x-wing was first placed in that store, right after Star Tours 1.0 opened. So there would be a single Stormtrooper AA aiming at the PeopleMover track, but not silhouettes. No UFOs in the store either. But there was metal rigging that the x-wing was standing on (it's landing gear was out).

Dang, Werner replied to me and said he can't find that picture either!

It was built with the intent to be Star Wars, not Disney. If they won't allow Visa logos, I doubt Imagineering would want to put in hidden Mickey's to take someone out of the world by breaking story.

Pandora at AK is similar (you are supposed to be on Pandora, no Disney labeling, etc.) and there are hidden Mickeys there.

I think it's interesting.... it's my understanding that there are Imagineers who aren't fans of hidden mickey's since they either contradict or distract from the setting and place of the attraction. But I think that's something that really depends on how the Mickey is implemented.

I guess Imagineering should be applauded for allowing some actual Disney into Galaxy's Edge.

I feel like that permit is referring to this TIE Fighter:

I'm referring to this guy:
