I may be wrong, but wasn’t that supposed to happen?

Details on a third Star Wars Land ride that was planned by Walt Disney Imagineering but wasn't included in the final design. See the Bantha ride.

Yeah like that... only with real capacity.

I bet sometime in the future we will get a 3rd ride. I'm personally hoping for a podracing ride similar to Universal's Mario Kart ride. Podracing is on Batuu. So it's possible.

I would be 1000% for that if it was physical. Not another simulator please.

I agree. The Mario Kart ride is a dark ride with AA's and minimal screens. So I could see Disney pulling off a Podracing ride.
Just how many simulators do you think WDW has?

3 out of the 3 Star Wars themed attractions in that park. Rise is certainly not “just a simulator” - but the ending “thrill” part of the ride is.
OK, you're right that SW doesn't need another simulator.
I was thinking in terms of the endless chatter of "too many screenz!" for all of WDW when WDW only has 4 (and a half) simulators.
I think there's a Pete Boba Fett buried somewhere in my basement

You’d think they’d cosplay Pete as Jabba.

I have never thought of that. That would be prefect

I miss the Star Wars WeekendsOne positive of Galaxy's Edge is we don't have the Disney characters dressed as Star Wars characters anymore. Because this would be absolutely terrifying

I agree. A high capacity ride like the people mover. Also, I’d move Star Tours and a high capacity ride like Pirates on the expansion pad. Three high capacity rides along with the two existing attractions.

Same. I see why Disney stopped but I wish there was a way for them to come back.

Excuse my ignorance but were they organized and planned by Disney or a third party company like Star Wars Celebration is?

I’m not sure. Back then George was still in control of the franchise. George probably made a deal to get a cut of everything. It was toast once Disney bought the company.

I believe they were Disney but they were started back when Disney tried to do a lot of events. Originally they attempted a Sci-Fi special event for Tomorrowland that would've included some Star Wars but not the entire focus. Disney also did things like ESPN weekends, Soap Opera celebrity events, etc. Star Wars Weekends evolved into a major event that it became then.

Me too. I'd love for them to bring back a version of Star Wars Weekends where there's a change to Batuu. Life Day weekends in November, or Original Trilogy weekends in May. Something fun like that.
They were official park events, definitely organized by/with the parks.
