My bartender in Mammoth source said january. I gotta find that post.
I see DL losing 6 months of AP renewals as they wait for JanuaryI have to say I am let down by this. I bought a pass in June so I could ride this one with the expectation of the fall opening (that Disney themselves said) being honest. I will still be able to go on it for a decent amount of time, but having the opening of the major ride 9 months after the land opened is a bit of a letdown.
This post of them mocking a tourist that will miss RotR for Disney opening their ride incredibly late (and without advance notice) is insulting to paying customers who spend a lot of time and money trying to plan their trip.
Wow @ that delay. Guess I'm not going to DLR this year.
Also I am really intrigued by what's being announced at D23 if not this.

The Parks presentation needs more boo's from the crowd! I'm glad I wasn't the only dissenting voice heard during the last expo's GotG announcement!Perhaps it's best they announced this early, since now everyone going to D23 won't expect to be able to ride it. Not to mention, if they had announced it there people probably would have rioted.
I should add, between MLK Jr. weekend and NAMM, there will be very good attendance at Disneyland that weekend, regardless if RotR opens. Pretty much a great way to start the official opening....
Oh my God, you're right. That's both Reverend King's holiday weekend and NAMM from January 16th to 19th.
Last year the NAMM convention attracted 115,000 attendees to the Anaheim Convention Center, the largest convention center on the West Coast.
So they'll try and open the Resistance ride that weekend too? What could go wrong with that?!

I attended NAMM this year. I’m a WDW semi-local and I was on a tight budget, so I had no intention of going to DL. But then I got a ticket for 50% off, so I caved.
Waits were between 15 and 45 minutes, with only Matterhorn, Space Mountain and Indy reaching that peak. Overall I was surprised how empty the park felt even though it also felt so much smaller.
Anecdotal evidence, sure...but maybe NAMM won’t make as big an impact?
I agree that it was smart they announced this before D23. There was definitely false hope it would be soft opened during D23, especially when the attraction is overtly finished on the exterior.
You are right until the very end. They messed up the advertising and their projections and generally the hearsay was to stay away and avoid the opening frame.
However, choosing to base the land on the newest trilogy did NOT make Disneyland as a whole suddenly less popular than it was before. All of Disneyland is down, not just an issue of crowds not increasing as much as projected for this project.
People aren't avoiding Disneyland now because you can't see a CM dressed as Luke Skywalker and ride a speeder bike coaster.
Excuse me but are you a Star Wars fan yourself? And I don’t mean do you like the movies, I mean do you consider yourself a part of the SW fandom? If the answer is NO you obviously don‘t know what you are talking about and if the answer is yes you must be a fan of the sequels and this means you are a part of a small minority in the fandom because the majority hates the sequels. In both cases however you definitely don‘t unterstand the difference between EMPIRE and First Order and between REBEL ALLIANCE and Resistance for the guests who are meant to visit GE. It is a HUGE difference.
The Last Jedi is for intellectuals.

What to say (and what not to say)...
I have seen a few good comments, something about an outside vendor, well, we are talking about ride tracks......
