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

[Phroobar]

All the people that are speechless at the beginning couldn't come up with something nice to say.

I like the "I don't have words...".
He then went on to say during the cut, "where are the droids, music, interactivity and the real ride? Why is everything so expensive?"

Maybe I am too cynical, but I don't like advertising $100 toys you can only get by going to a $125 theme park to little children.

Love the music that plays during the droid building on the Disney Jr video.

Every ad I have seen focused from the viewpoint of a little girl.
Coincidental?
I think not.
I'm all for expanding your audience - but there has been a deliberate effort to change that audience.

Rey is about all the new SW trilogy has going for it. Therefore, young girls are the target demo.

Yes, this is true.
Disney has partially abandoned who their primary audience once was.
This is at least part of the reason for the drop in performance of various Star Wars efforts.

That's because men are bad. That is why the First Order is all men. (and some women that look like men)

Star Wars is the new Disney Princess line. When is Princess Leia going to be added to that group?

Marvel is for the boys (except for Captain Marvel, of course). Reality is girls don’t even like Star Wars, even with Rey. The only girls that like Star Wars are the ones whose daddy made them.

Well, some small portion of girls do - and I'd imagine it's a larger portion than it used to be.
But targeting this small audience - deliberately - at the expense of what is and was the brands larger audience is part of what is hurting Star Wars.
Seriously, I haven't seen one official image or video for Galaxies Edge or anything in it (Smugglers Run) where a young male was the focus.
There's nothing accidental about advertising when it comes to the people chosen for ads and commercials - the casting and how that cast is depicted are careful thought out.
I'm quite happy to see girls used in advertising too.
But I'm quite sure boys notice subliminally and otherwise - that they're not a part of Galaxies Edge.

Prolly like how girls subliminally notice they’ve not been apart of anything remotely epic for decades?

Unless you count Totally Spies.

The comments reveal the truth.

Are you Theme Park Analysis?

Interestingly, for the last few decades young girls been more interested in Disney then young men- primarily driven by the Disney princess marketing campaign.

When Disney bought Lucasfilm and Marvel, one of the stated reasons was to expand their market to better reach young men.

In many ways, I think Marvel has been successful in not only expanding the market for young men, but also boosting the interest of more young women- especially with Captain Marvel now playing a more critical role.

Lucasfilm did an amazing job making Rey an interesting character for young girls, and Kylo Ren for young guys, but I think they've struggled with every other demographic since most old time fans are disillusioned.

The most interesting Star Wars character to come since the Disney ownership is K-2SO from Rogue One.

Fight me.

I personally love Kylo Ren as a character. The most interesting character in any of the Star Wars films for me.

He just doesn't do anything for me. Spoiled brat turned villain? ::yawn:: He should have never taken that mask off.

However, I am curious though to see how his arc wraps up in IX.

Prince Zuko Kylo Ren is the awesome!

He's basically showing us the fall of Anakin again but with a better actor this time.
