OK, this has now become sad. You stated a very inaccurate argument and I simply cited you on it. If your argument was that fans didn't like TLJ very much, again, you wouldn't have gotten a response from me. That wasn't the contention I had with your argument though. Your contention was the prequels were well received by the fanbase and simply where I took issue.

And I don't think you understand what backing yourself into a corner means. Thankfully everyone else does.
Go back to what I originally said. You’re selectively reading into part of my sentence. And this interpretation is inaccurate as well. It’s ridiculous to keep piling on to the point that I cannot keep up with your fantasy interpretations of what I wrote.

Personally I find the land to be a real life version of Disney's treatment of the Star Wars franchise as they blatantly cater to social justice warriors and belittle the classic fanbase. Why are half the food items in the land vegan again?

This is why I’m not excited about Galaxy’s Edge. There’s no assurance any of this will be portrayed in the movies. The original and prequels were the only well made and well received movies by George Lucas. Many iconic scenes and places were completely ignored. I’d rather they focus on the Galactic Empire and not the ridiculous First Order.

My chance to walk on Death Star and see Luke Skywalker’s Tatoonie home is forever scuttled.
This is what I wrote. Everything is left as I wrote it and nothing bolded.

Star Wars is dead, Gen-Xers. Get over it
Let the past die. Kill it, if you have to. No truer words about Disney's multi-billion dollar franchise have ever been spoken. [Spoiler ahead.]

Guys, my point is just that the land is set during the sequel trilogy and Star Tours is using the Starspeeder 3000 after the events of Return of the Jedi. Seeing as Rex is in the land, the original Star Tours storyline is within the land's canon. Therefore the Starspeeder 3000 should be the Starspeeder present in the Falcon ride and not the 1000. I'm being a nerd, I know, but this is the standard they've set for themselves. Also the 3000 is just a way cooler looking transport.

If you want to get technical didn't ST actually go out of business after the events of Endor...

And since Batuu is on the edge of wild space it would stand to reason that the Starspeeder 1000 is being used by a smuggler or some other nefarious character. So it wouldn't be out of place.

In reality its just an Easter Egg to the Adventure Continues where most guests probably know the current color scheme used is the 1000.

Star Tours is set after the events of Return of the Jedi (which is dumb there's a Death Star in the attraction, but whatever).

If you want to say the 1000 is being used by a smuggler, I still say it should be beat up and gritty instead of sleek and looking like it came from the Prequels.

If you want to say most guests would only recognize it with the 1000 paint scheme, it doesn't matter because it's an Easter Egg. Its goal isn't to be obvious, it's to be a hidden secret appreciated by relatively few.

Look, my point is I want to see the Starspeeder 3000 again because its paint scheme was so much cooler.

Yes because that was the part of your post that was wrong lol. Seriously. That's why I put it in bold, to make it clear that was the issue I had. I wasn't trying to get on your case about your opinion overall, I was simply responding to the part of your argument that clearly came off as revisionist history and sounded more like a fact instead of an opinion.

You've had multiple posts to simply point out how it wasn't. You haven't even after you claimed it wasn't. Correct? So what am I missing?

You were simply wrong. OK? Not a huge deal in itself, none of this matters at the end of the day. But you seem too proud to admit the obvious and now very defensive over it. It doesn't mean how you feel about the movies are wrong, but yes how pretended they were well received by the fanbase is. Very much so. Not sure how much more clearer this can be? You're not helping yourself with these responses at all.

I’ll be gentle. Only the the first paragraph might be fair, but it’s wrong just as much. Everything else is a complete over reaction and maybe evidence of mental illness.

Star Tours is set after the events of Return of the Jedi (which is dumb there's a Death Star in the attraction, but whatever).

And it went out of business a couple years after that due to numerous crashes by a certain droid, who now happens to be a DJ.

If you want to say the 1000 is being used by a smuggler, I still say it should be beat up and gritty instead of sleek and looking like it came from the Prequels.

I said smugglers, but it doesn't have to be a smuggler. Maybe someone got it cheap at the local swap meet or auction and fixed it up. Point is it wouldn't be unusual to see a ship from any time period on Batuu. It again is on the edge of wild space where anything and anyone could show up who wants to stay under the radar.

An Easter Egg doesn't have to be "hidden" per se. It just has to be placed in view, some are more obvious than others. You can determine the effectiveness of the Easter Egg by how well it placed and references the object they are trying to convey.

Also there is a term called "hidden in plain sight".

Look, my point is I want to see the Starspeeder 3000 again because its paint scheme was so much cooler.

And this is the point you should have lead with instead of insulting Imagineering for putting in the "wrong" Starspeeder for the time period.

You don't need to be gentle, you were simply wrong lol. You keep responding, fine, then show me where what you said wasn't revisionist history? If you can't, you simply wasting everyone's time with these posts. That was the only contention I had, nothing more. But you want to keep making it an issue. No one got on your case about how you feel about the films, simply stating something as a fact that is completely inaccurate. Can you prove what you said was right or not? If so, then please post it. If not, you're just coming off really defensive.

The fact everyone keeps jumping through these loops to try to prove me wrong is ridiculous. The Starspeeder 1000 is used to visit Batuu in the newest Star Tours update. This is literally all anyone had to say to prove me wrong. Yet, I'm still right because the Starspeeder 3000 is way cooler.

Read my original post and prove to me it was in any way what you claim it was without taking it out of context that you’re still doing. LOL.

Well technically I did, by saying it was an Easter Egg from Adventure Continues. So there wasn't jumping through hoops, at least not on my part. I was just trying to give an explanation on why it could be there, from my point-of-view.

As for the 3000 being way cooler, that is subjective as the 1000 and 3000 are effectively the same just with different paint schemes. Do I personally think the blue color scheme looks better, yes. But really the ships are the same.

The original and prequels were the only well made and well received movies by George Lucas.

Explain how that is taking it out of context? What exactly am I misinterpreting? Explain please? But based on this line, none of this is remotely accurate. None. It's wrong, false and very misleading. That's all I was responding to, especially when you included the prequels.

I created an entire post why it isn't. You responded to it. When I asked you to back up your statement, now you're claiming its out of context? Well why didn't you say that 7 posts ago then?

There’s another 5 sentences in that post. Before, you sliced out half a sentence to argue about.

I’m here all night.

Now we come back to why I hate the internet again. Reading comprehension is a big problem. I'll say it one more time. I didn't have a problem with your overall post, because it was mostly opinionated. I don't necessarily agree with it, but that's fine. But I had a problem with that specific line because it was stated as a fact and not an opinion. Can you not get the difference?

And you still haven't explained how I misinterpreted? Either you believe the prequels were well received or they weren't? You first stated they were, I gave you evidence why they weren't and now here we are. Are they or not?

The funny thing is I've only asked you just to back up your point and you keep avoiding it? Which tells me my answer obviously.

There is an ignore button that you can use. Stop responding to him, its not worth it.
