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

[Earl Sweatpants]

I'm pretty sure those have been out for some time, but they have been represented somewhere online recently as new.

Well, I hadn't seen them before, and the site I got them from only posted them yesterday...always behind

Can I just say I hope everyone is pronouncing this correctly in their heads; It is an A-Tee A-Tee. NOT an at-at.

Both are correct, nerd. Imperials called them AyTee-AyTees. Rebels called them at-ats as slang.

So good job outing yourself as an Imperial

Check out the 2:19 to 2:23 mark on this video excerpt of Harrison Ford introducing the Star Wars Experience in that 60th anniversary ABC special back whenever that was:



I've seen these being posted as new elsewhere as well, so don't feel sad.

Well there you go. I wonder why those haven't been as widely circulated.

I think these were used at the recent shareholder meeting and were reported as new

How dubious...but also entirely accurate.

 

[Practical Pig]

I think these were used at the recent shareholder meeting and were reported as new

That would explain it.

 

[SSG]

How dubious!!!

To clarify, Disney didn't say they were new. That was the work of the good old internet.

So does it look like these will have any motion? Or are they just big and imposing?

Hard to say from these pictures. When I enlarge them, it looks as though the heads and necks are just rigidly attached to the bodies, but there could be pivot points built in that I can't make out. I would hope they would have at least some limited motion, like the head turning to track you as you pass.

I'm not seeing any articulation built into the legs, which look to be solid steel hoof to hip.

 

[Curious Constance]

I hope they build the walls as the very last step on the Star Wars buildings.

Quick SILA update mainly covering the AT-AT's

 

[SSG]

They've been put in time out!

Nobody puts AT-AT in a corner!

Two "newly released" (but really actually older) pieces of concept art!

Still worth revisiting. It's nice that we have these concept art of two of our more ambiguous areas. The top one they strangely obscured on the land overview concept art. The bottom is the much debated support facility. It would start just around the far left of the image and continue out of frame. The fact they've been re-disiminated from the shareholder meeting at least means they still apply.




These two images released at D23 2015 I think we can safely ignore. The design has changed quite a bit and they are no longer representative.

They also may be representative of the "old" DHS version meant for Echo lake area, before the two projects melded together. This version wouldn't have blended in very well with frontierland.

It looks more Lord of the Rings than Star Wars.

Ok. You win the thread.

Star Wars is a fantasy film. The locales and costumes are do remind some of LOTR and other similar fantasy franchises.

 

[George Lucas on a Bench]

Yeah, but the sort of locales Disney Star Wars is capitalizing on are the ones we saw in the old movies. Desert, snow, forest. Really basic stuff with aliens, spaceships and installations. They didn't stray at all from this in their new movie. That concept art doesn't even look right for the prequels. Sort of a mishmash of Naboo, Mos Espa and Kashyyyk, but something's off. Those huge towers (tree trunks?) have to go. It looks more like a place the fellowship stopped at.

You say that as if it's a bad thing.

Where are all the wood elves? Imagine a Hobbit ride were you rode down a river in barrel.
