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

I don't see why not. Disneyland has been in movies before. That area is movie quality. Maybe there will be a scene or two on Baatu. I bet the Mandelorian will have some shots there eventually.

The would be dumb NOT to at some point just to drum up business. SWGE 'timeline and the Mandalorian timelines are years apart, but Black Spire Outpost has already been established as existing for since before Clone wars so at most some slight changes here and there to back date the surroundings for a few scenes and done.

Every time Disneyland's been in a movie (That Thing You Do is my favorite), it's appeared as itself. It's never tried to replicate a place that isn't a theme park. I don't think filming a SW movie scene there would save any money, and would only be done for a bit of unnecessary publicity...Although it would certainly give DL bragging rights over Florida.

Unless of course production is in Georgia (where a lot of shows and movies are filmed in the US these days), which would make more sense to go to DHS instead....

Hence the elevated photo-op spot area they've created near Docking Bay 7

Is there a good view of this area? I'm trying to get a sense of where the elevated photo spot is

Disneyland's Official Youtube Channel uploaded a 360 Video of Smugglers Run.

I hope folks aren't disappointed. This could be like Christmas, so excited about it, then it's over in a flash and you find the aftermath is just "meh".

Well, a few overenthusiastic fans have unrealistic expectations and actually think GE is going to make them feel like they're in Star Wars as if Star Wars was real. They'll feel a bit let down that it still feels like a theme park. I think those simply expecting an impressive theme park land will have a great time, as long as they know there's currently only one ride available.

All I want is to build a lightsaber that can really cut through a steel bulkhead. I don't think that's asking for much.

My expectations are so low for Falcon at the moment that I just may end up enjoying it more than ROTR.

They should film a 44 minute special with Daisy Ridley, John Boyega, and Oscar Isaac where they’re exploring the new land but they’re all in character and running from Kylo Ren who is not played by Adam Driver. It’s be really shlocky.

Special musical guest: Starship!

Special musical guest: Starship!

I"m surprised Disney hasn't thought of that yet. It can't be any worst than this:

Is Bea Arthur still alive?

 

[Phroobar]

They'd probably skip the Wookiee .

Disney would totally still do the Circus of the Damned.

Sometimes these conversations make me realize I’m not a complete dork yet. I’m just a notch under.

Nah you’re still a dork.

Foodie Guide to Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge

With Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge on the horizon, our creative teams have been hard at work crafting the innovative food and beverage offerings that guests will experience when they visit the Black Spire Outpost. Today, I’m excited to share those

What is edible soil (A Taste of Takodana) and why am I so eager to find out?

Not sure they are really going to need to drum up any business. That being said, not at all opposed to using it in a film/show.

I'm wondering how long the strict role playing and language for CMs will last, particularly for the WDW version. I know Disney is committed to "authenticity", but many Disney park guests don't speak English as a first language, or much at all. If they're struggling with the basics like "where's the toilet?" I can't imagine it would be helpful to get a response that sounds like gibberish and takes longer to explain. Heck, any stressed out family that's tired from standing in the sun for hours probably doesn't want to roleplay every time they ask a question.

Also, while I think the food looks good, I wouldn't be surprised if they kept some chicken nuggets in the back for the wifebeater-and-cargo-short tourists who spent 45+ minutes in line at the cafeteria and just want their basic comfort food.

Any views of the entrance on the west side?
