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

[ProfessorPepper]

Gone. What was it?

Summed up.
1. Little details everywhere
2. Drank all the cocktails; didn't like one
3. Saw Rey and Chewie walking around the ROTR area
4. He waited 10 mins for SR during the 3rd hour of his 4 hour preview slot

You didn't miss much..

Do we expect that early media access to Galaxy's Edge at Disneyland is going to be REALLY limited? I know about the press preview a few months ago, but I'm talking about how few social media influencers/actual journalists may be allowed in to see the finished land before May 31.

It doesn't seem like many considering how many Disney sites that typically get invited to media previews I've heard discuss getting reservations to the land that first weekend in order to get the content that they need.

Well, there is a two day press preview

This is a cool map from the app:

Kinda disappointed that they did not do a better job of incorporating these into a structure or onto a roof. Kinda takes away from the ambiance!

hey i'm thinking of planning a trip in the fall do we have any idea RotR is opening

 

[wityblack]

Do we have any update on when Rise of the Resistance is supposed to open? I keep hearing conflicting things. Did they get past the problem that was setting them back, and is that problem with the trackless ride vehicles?

It will open when the Choosen One brings balance to the Force.

 

[TROR]

So when's Rise of the Resistance going to open?

Sometime after the Summer Season, maybe next year, somewhere in that range.....

The rumor is August, possibly during D23.

The rumor is August, possibly during D23.

That is a rumor, and to be honest, one more based in wishful thinking than in reality. At the end, here in California, it has to pass all the DOSH tests, and having to deal with them and grand openings, well I have seen the date moved multiple times, and seen limited operations signed off after the opening event started twice, and know of others. Such is life. It will open when it is ready to open and fully operate on a daily basis 18 hours a day.

 

[Phroobar]

Why do I think Florida's will open first? That will give them something to crow about in their tiny version of the land.

From the WDW thread:

*Potential Spoilers from Play Disney Parks App*

After some more digging, I've found evidence of the kind of interactions you can have in and around the land. There will be 'missions' available for you to go on separate from (but possibly related to) the ride missions themselves.

Spoiler: Possible Missions

Some possible mission titles:

• Prove Your Worth
• Dianoga Mission
• Mynock Mission
• Brainworm Mission
• Ollopom Mission
• Discover the Threat
• Find the Ship
• Find the Master Mechanic
• OTS Training

From the looks of it, you will be 'chatting' with a contact for these missions. They involve multiple steps each. You can make decisions to follow their advice or sabotage the missions. That will affect future missions. Some missions come with rewards (in the form of money, somehow).

Note that this is from a pre-release version, so there's no guarantee it will make it to the shipped version.

Map has been updated. Not live on the app or website yet, but likely coming soon.

I bet the "contact" is Vi Moradi.

They don't have anything labeled near Rise of the Resistance other than the Supply shop. Suppose this lets us know right up front what will be open and what will be closed!

That side of the map is haunted.
