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

[Darkbeer1]

Ride tracks? Come again? Is this not going to be a trackers ride system anymore?

That was an attempt at an inside joke. A track does not have to be physical, maybe I should have said guidance system.

I can tell you the majority of NAMM Attendees don't go to the DLR during the actual event. BUT many do before or after. Plus since their family/friends don't get to attend NAMM in many cases, those folks do opt to visit the tourist orientated locations, such As Disneyland, Knott's, the Beach, etc.

Maybe someone should tell NAMM that the new Disneyland hotel was cancelled months ago...https://www.namm.org/thenammshow/2020

This goes down as the most laughable, ridiculous, preposterous, ludicrous, absurd and moronic quote I have ever heard about The Last Junk.

I’ve heard dumber from you.

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.

Excuse me, but did you actually poll all of the tens of Millions of the Star Wars fans in the fandom to see if its really a majority that hate the sequels? If so I'd like to see said poll and then all your data to back it up. Because you're talking out your A** and projecting your own feelings on the rest of the fandom without any clue if the overall fandom does or doesn't feel the same way as you.

You don't speak for the fandom, you speak for yourself only. If you personally hate the sequels fine, post that all day long. But don't go around posting like you are some expert on what the overall fandom does or doesn't hate and its impact on Disneyland attendance.

I’m surprised nobody in this thread is talking about the leaked ROTR Star Destroyer interior picture. It’s quite impressive and got me pretty excited if I do say so myself!

Let the past die. Kill it if you have to.

I'm an expert on Star Wars fandom and I can tell you you're all nerds. Grow up. They're Saturday matinee popcorn space movies for children. You're pathetic with your glow swords and dolls.

Butter beer is always going to be popular - despite the taste - because it’s a direct link to the IP that the fans go for...

That is how “immersion” works.

Blue milk just isn’t that level. My take.

"When we started this experience you might naturally think that we thought 'oh, what kind of ride are we going have?' ... But that's not actually what we started with."

Yeah. It shows.

The first thing imagineering started with is how do we sell as much merchandise as possible in this new land.

Well that’s easy: you sell OT collectors stuff to Gen X fans with good incomes.

Or was that rhetorical?

Oh my god...

I hate you people for showing me this...

It’s stunning.

I bet Lucas still gets a large share of the OT merchandise money while Disney gets most of the money from the new trilogy stuff.

If I understand it correctly: he doesn’t get a penny of anything. It was a free and clear sale per Disney’s insistence.

No...they made a choice to push the NUtrilogy stuff...both in the parks and beyond.

They haven’t delivered the movies to deliver the momentum. Bottom line

I guess they thought it was easy to keep the merchandise boat afloat. Too bad they didn't know it was already sinking since 2005. Let's put out some crap, wave a light saber around, remake the original trilogy and wait for the fans to worship us. How did that go for you Disney?

Agreed. The condescension is just dripping from these Imagineers. (Except maybe Asa, whose Science of Imagineering DVDs my family is so fond of.)

 

[Anjin]

It's funny to me because Disney taking over is what reminded me how much I used to like Star Wars. The prequels had actually left me thinking that maybe I didn't actually like it anymore. But The Force Awakens and the Marvel comic made me a fan again. Heck, I even liked The Last Jedi.

I get that my opinion is not the norm and it sucks that Disney has driven away so many. But there are dozens of us out here who do like this stuff, I'm sure.

Dozens? Yep, that appears to be the crowd size.
