The first thing I thought when I saw that picture was "why is his head so big?" So yes I'm in agreement, its a little off in size.

Did Disney ban force choke photos? Kylo immediately said no when asked in DLR. made for an awkward end to the M&G.

Awesome. I'll be there next Thursday

I'll be there next Thursday. I can't wait to see all of the Star Wars offerings. Plus, they will be promoting Rogue One big time.

So...are we getting Darth Vader back then?

So...are we getting Darth Vader back then?

He was at Launch Bay yesterday, but I don't know if it was a Limited Time Magic thing to celebrate the 1-year anniversary of the building or if he's coming back soon.

That would be amazing.

 

[Notes from Neverland]

Vader was there when I went last year. While it was cool, I was hoping Kylo would stick around. The Kylo experience seems better since he actually talks compared to Vader who didn't say anything.

Vader spoke at Launch Bay.

Interesting. During my visit he did not.

That was just for the anniversary. He'll be back, but not until February.

That's a shame. I've always preferred the Vader encounter compared to Kylo Ren. Vader is just so much more iconic and has a much stronger presence to me than Ren, whose meet and greet isn't really as fun. He's just too intimidating and brooding to be an enjoyable experience for me.

Why can't they just have both and rotate them? Then everybody would be happy.

You could say that about any character at Disney World then. Like meeting Buzz and Woody, why don't they rotate Jessie and Bullseye, too.

May be a technology hit and miss kind of thing.

We met with Kyle Ren twice in September. He spoke the first time - the voice was spot on!; but the second time he said not a word.

Either way, he scared me witless both times. He just kept circling my 6' 8" hubby trying to get face to face with scaredy cat me.

Vader would make me have a stroke, I'm sure. I get heart palpitations just watching the Jedi Training Academy performance.

Go figure though, I'm not afraid of the Stormtroopers or Phasma.

Because when the family that showed up at 4:30 to meet Kylo Ren finds out he left at 4:15 but will be back at 4:45 gets there, an innocent Cast Member gets chewed out and they'll storm off to Guest Relations to complain about how their has been ruined. Multiple times a day.

I'd love it, but it might be a little too much to expect the Joe family to plan that tight for a meet and greet.

One of my biggest gripes has been that stage show that's no longer there; it's basically a parade of characters you can't meet. Why can't Phasma show up in a corner of the Launch Bay for photos? Why can't Boba do the same at the themed cantina? Lots of missed opportunity there.

I Strongly agree with you on Captain Phasma and Boba Fett, can't believe you can't see her or any other random SW friends and enemies in there(like R2-D2 and C3-PO). The stage show kinda ruined our chances to meet them.
