Star Wars Launch Bay coming to Disney's Hollywood Studios later this year

couldnt be, the pod was all CG, wasn't it? and obvs there wasnt TWO of them...

Not all of it...

According to management, the pod racer and speeder bike are both real props, while everything else is a replica. The person I spoke with did point out, however, that Rey's speeder was constructed by the same people who built the one(s) for the film.

LOL 'real' props

I checked it out tonight.

I'm really not sure what people are going ape about. It's really nice. Very well done. I have no complaints with it. No real spoilers.

Looks a lot nicer than most photos I've seen. At the end of the day, it's some nice props, some meet and greets, a store and a small film. Not sure how that isn't enough for some people but I really liked it.

Saw it for the first time yesterday, since we've been avoiding the holiday crowds. I think it's great. The atmosphere in there is SO cool.

Cool...

"The portal from Star Wars Launch Bay to Kylo Ren’s Star Destroyer opens at Disneyland park and at Disney’s Hollywood Studios next month."

Very cool but I want Rey or BB8.

Yes, given its one of the first times we've had a female lead it would be nice to see a Rey meet.

It would be very cool to have Rey out. If they brought out BB8 they would have Anna and Elsa length lines. I think he is the most popular new character.

Question 1: Are they going to actually take time to change the M&G area (as in, will there be a few days after Vader leaves and before Kylo appears?) or will the change be made overnight?
Question 2: Will Vader still appear at the Chase M&G or will Kylo Ren show up there as well?

It would be nice if the Disney Visa meet and greet was something different than what "everyone" else can already meet. Not to be elitist, as anyone can gets Disney Visa. I just mean it should be different because it is not much of a "perk" or "benefit" if it is the same as what all guest get.

Therefore I hope they keep Vadar or come up with something different. Put BB8 in there and you'll get a lot more people to sign up for the Disney Visa.

That sounds like coercion. The benefit is the lack of much line.

Those poor CMs that are going to deal with this. You have my sympathy in advance.

deal with that?

deal with that?

It’s the first MG out of the new era Star Wars, Kylo Ren is already massively popular villain, it’s likely replacing the Vader MG so it will absorb that, it’s going in an underserved park, and it’s a small set area.

So your worried about the line for this being overwhelming?

It could rival A&E on weekends. If they are smart, they add him to the Chase M&G with a desk to apply for a card right in the Launch Bay. "Sign up with Chase or wait 235 minutes."

There is some room back there to make space for several Rens. How many Vaders are there? Haven't been back there yet.

Do you think Rey will get the same attentïon the. Frozen Sisters got when they debuted their Meet and Greets? I bet Disney would get caught off guard of how popular a Rey meet and greet would be.

For what it's worth, the blog comments confirmed that Vader will be replaced at the Chase M&G as well
