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

[Disney Irish]

The sad thing is these coke bottles won't exist after 8-12 months after the place opens. There'll be normal coke bottles for sale by this time next year when they cut back on immersive entertainment etc and the land falls into line and the honeymoon is over.

I won't bet on that, as I just posted Coke has been producing this type of bottle for at least a decade for Christmas. So its not hard to just change the printing on the bottle at the local bottler for Disney. So I expect it'll continue to be used long after the honeymoon phase.

The company also has similarly shaped bottles for Fanta here in stores, all year. The only difference seems to be the wrapping and the cap. I don’t think that’s going to be the big issue in the foreseeable future.

Cool animatronic but too much gesticulation

aka the animation is a little forced.

This is the new A1000 AAs, same ones going to be used for BatB attraction at TDL. They are meant to be the most lifelike AAs to date, with realistic body movement and facial gestures.

Insane levels of immersion aside... Which will all be broken due to the fact you'll still be enjoying the park along side nerdy mcfatty and uncle Larry and his sister's screaming brats (I'll be playing nerdy mcfatty in my tie dye shirt when I visit)...

That will happen only at DHS due to it's small size.

Disney always likes to have their AA move their arms around alot. See pirate auctioneer. Even Lincoln does that a lot.

BTW, this is not the first time Coke as produced this type of bottle, they did a line of Christmas ones starting a little over 10 years ago I believe:

13.5 FL Oz? That's very little soda for an expensive price. Couldn't they make them at least 24oz?

Sometimes they get a bit too crazy

...yep I was corrected. When I posted the first one, I was told that was fact from an insider I trusted.
Second one is from a different inside who I trust more.

I think the Coke bottles are meant to be the casing of a thermal detonator:

The Coke reps didn't come out and say this, but were describing Black Spire as place where things get re-purposed because it's off the beaten path. There will probably be a back story where some local found a bunch of detonator cases and uses those to hold the cold beverages he sells.

Parents like the smaller sizes.

Just what we need, a little radiation with our cold beverage...

Joking aside it’s still a style bottle coke has produced for years, nothing new.

I hope this is a joke.

Sorry Cap, while you were frozen in time, entertainment became more and more prevalent to the American people looking to escape the outside world. This eventually led to the pop culture phenomenon of Star Wars, a movie series that takes place “in a galaxy far, far away.” It includes dessert planets, space ships, blasters, and what are called thermal detonators. These are the equivalent to what you may’ve known as a hand grenade.

This brings us to present day in which we have one of the largest companies in the entertainment industry building a themed land off the previously mentioned “Star Wars.” Today it was announced that a company called “Coca Cola” would release a customized bottle that thematically fits into the Star Wars universe, yet still works with the current American standards of drink preference and recognition. It isn’t confirmed, but they bare a very similar resemblance to thermal detonators, a weapon used in Star Wars that blows up after a certain amount of time.

Hope that clears it up for you Cap!

Sorry don’t know which timeline of Cap I’m speaking to

What point were you making in your original post? I read it as "Disney shouldn't be making things that look like weapons." It appears I was mistaken?

It’s good to cut back on soda.

And some around here thought they wouldn’t serve Coke products at all because “they’re going for immersive and Star Wars didn’t have Coke”.

Figured this was going to be how they did it, no way they’d keep out one of their biggest vendors. Same likely will happen for Visa logo as well.

Love these designs

 

[mickEblu]

I'm sure the Coke products will still have ingredient and health information. Immersion RUINED!

LOL

..I made this months ago and people laughed....maybe not anymore...

and pay for the price of 5 two liter bottles for that 13.5fl oz. time bomb shaped bottle.

 

[BubbaQuest]

Just want to make sure...The resistance is now about consuming overpriced mass-produced sugary beverages. Now we know why RotR was delayed. They were waiting for Coke deliveries!!!!!
