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

[J4546]

with more and more droids and aliens, SWGE will be a much better land. Hopefully a full service food option comes to the GEs eventually

Sadly they do admit in the comments it was a 1-day play test.

It’s ok. If the cashiers start saying “bright suns” again I’d consider than an acceptable trade-off.

I'm glad to see this kind of development, but truthfully I'd like to see more permanent atmospheric enhancements. A trip to Universal to see Nintendo World highlighted how undeveloped Galaxy's Edge is in this respect.

Well if enough of these things and aliens were walking around they would be atmospheric enhancements but I agree with the sentiment. However, if you asked me where I’d rather spend time I’d say Galaxies Edge as Super Nintendo land is just a cramped courtyard with no seating. GE is spacious and never too congested. ROTR is obviously > than Mario Kart. With that said both lands are far from perfect.

 

[D.Silentu]

To your point, both lands would benefit from a dose of the unique strengths of the other in terms of size and kinetic atmosphere. Obviously only realistically possible in Galaxy's Edge, but, as you say, if there were plentiful walk around characters I wouldn't feel the atmosphere to be wanting. I admit they do seem to be moving that direction, but slowly.

Hope we can have these long term and walk around aliens.

My thoughts exactly. It's all cute until the AI determines the humans are the problem.

Walt Disney's original AA ducks are more realistic and are still operating sixty years later.

 

[chadwpalm]

It's too bad the general public will never allow these (or any droids) to roam GE without 3 or 4 CMs protecting them. It's pretty much why we don't have them and never will. Even R2D2 needs like 3 CM's around to keep people from touching it. Imagine if he (or any droid) was unwatched. Children and teens would be destroying them. We just can't have nice things anymore. Undisciplined kids would reck them while their parents film and laugh.

This is very nice (truly), but I also think that if they are able to do these., they should be able to make a smaller and mechanical Figment (the appropriate size, with a full-size Dreamfinder), rather than the walk-around human in a costume. Same would be true for making a mechanical Grogu to be with The Mandalorian walk around the park. I think @Figments Friend would agree.

Absolutely.
This was supposedly in the works, and was proposed for a unique meet n’ greet experience.
The costumed ‘Figzilla 2.0’ was the replacement.

Hoping it still eventually happens….
Someday.

“Figzilla”
Spot on.

If they have this technology, it should be used for Figment. And Figment should be held by Dreamfinder.

Even without Dreamfinder, which we all know Disney seems hesitant to do anything with besides toss out random ‘retro throwback’ merch, they could STILL incorporate this into a unique meet n’ greet experience.

And they should.

It’s time.

But they could operate within enclosed areas like that which surrounds the Falcon.

Disney is probably trying to cater more towards the “Figment only” fans (no opinion regarding Dreamfinder such as the majority of the general public & furries).

Having something use new technology would mean it would have to be more safeguarded(IE less/no physical interactions), and IMO, trying to hug a much smaller Figment would be more difficult/awkward feeling.
