Have we seen any pictures with the camera pointed back at the berm? I've been assuming we'll be seeing more greenery facing that way.

There’s some greenery on the berm. Probably looks like there’s more from ground level.

I like how the Fantasmic storage building is partially a wall in ruins.

Sorry I’m late to the party. (Mother’s Day and Game of Thrones). Looks like pretty much just the berm trees and whatever they have on the ROTR side aside from whatever random trees are in the village area.

so i wonder how long before JJ Abrahms or any if the Lucas crew decides that they can save themselves some money filming on of the starwars shows or movies at SWGE.

wouldn't be ti difficult to film at night and use the place as a set

Won't happen.

There will also be more greenery on the rocks over the next year, as some of the plants still need time to grow.

Ten years and it will be a freakin' forest! (OK, maybe 20).

Prob similar to how Jungle Cruise started out and how it is today.

lmao

Nice ramp they have in the background, a shame we can't walk on it

Welcome to the madness Darthwoody! We are great speculators here, lots of fun, if you don't take some comments and or rumors too seriously. Otherwise most folks are just trying to get the inside scoop on all that is Disney!

I don't see why not. Disneyland has been in movies before. That area is movie quality. Maybe there will be a scene or two on Baatu. I bet the Mandelorian will have some shots there eventually.

I'm not bothered so much about the idea of not being able to walk under it - but rather that you can't walk around it and get up to the walls on the other side.
That's a large amount of real estate that's blocked off now.
There's going to be a near constant mass of people hanging on those barriers, rather than moving about in what would have been an open area.

I hope folks aren't disappointed. This could be like Christmas, so excited about it, then it's over in a flash and you find the aftermath is just "meh".

A constant mass of people and thousands of strollers....my guess is that becomes stroller parking for MF: SR.

Hence the elevated photo-op spot area they've created near Docking Bay 7

The would be dumb NOT to at some point just to drum up business. SWGE 'timeline and the Mandalorian timelines are years apart, but Black Spire Outpost has already been established as existing for since before Clone wars so at most some slight changes here and there to back date the surroundings for a few scenes and done.

Every time Disneyland's been in a movie (That Thing You Do is my favorite), it's appeared as itself. It's never tried to replicate a place that isn't a theme park. I don't think filming a SW movie scene there would save any money, and would only be done for a bit of unnecessary publicity...Although it would certainly give DL bragging rights over Florida.

Although it would certainly give DL bragging rights over Florida.

Unless of course production is in Georgia (where a lot of shows and movies are filmed in the US these days), which would make more sense to go to DHS instead....
