Hey, that Galaxy's Edge special is on Hulu. I know what I'm watching tonight.
You can see Kaley Couco in two different t-shirts it looked like she pulled out of her gym bag. Looks like it was a rough night for Kaley.
You can hear an imagineer telling her after the fact via voice-over from what must be his office computer the date Rise of the Resistance opens.
You can see the Rey character take a bunch of kids on an immersively embarrassing quest.
I didn't watch the whole thing otherwise this list might need it's own thread. It was a poor production to say the least.

Probably - now begins the cast training, safety inspections, yada yada.
Unless what Bob experienced was Mechanical-Turked.

They sure love showing those Storm trooper mannequins.

No, it doesn't mean the ride necessarily works.
It just means he's shilling his new book. Buy it now at Amazon or local booksellers. Ahora!

Was gonna say, that's a pretty dang accurate account of every storm trooper in every Star Wars movie. That's straight up canon.

Your right!
What the heck kind of idiot soldier puts on Date Nite makeup and spends 30 minutes on a hairdo before putting on a full face bio-filter helmet? That just makes no sense.

But it DOES make more sense now why they can never hit their targets.

This was posted in the WDW side, but from Disneyland.
I wonder why the wait until January? Or if the plan is to have an extensive soft opening period to work out kinks with actual guests?

One reason is likely California's more robust testing and permitting requirements.

Yep. Does anybody know if CalOSHA (aka DOSH) has been conducting inspections at Disneyland yet?

One thing I will say is that I'm really glad they stuck ROTR pretty close to the Critter Country entrance. That way, once you get off you can leave the land without having to be subjected to the rest of it.

I'd be curious of this also. Part of my thinks they will want to do a fair amount of softs before the official opening in January?

First off, there is no way to know if Bob Iger actually did fully ride 100% of the RotR.
But in reality, the opening date for RotR at Disneyland was decided by the Marketing folks.
They wanted to get past the VERY popular Christmas Season and its possible Sold Out days in late December, early January.
The choice was Martin Luther King, Jr. Holiday weekend, partially to get some guaranteed large crowds, plus to allow ads to run for the first couple of weeks in January, in a time frame that other parks tend to not heavily advertise.
So when the ride geeks said we can be ready to open in December, but not 100% sure due to Cal DOSH, the decision was made to wait until January.
And sine WDW doesn't have the Christmas impact Anaheim does, Orlando decides to open when the ride geeks say they are ready....
