So far as I know there were a few issues with the ride system.

As the biggest Bond 007 fan of all time, I can confirm that this was a false rumor. In one of the opening scenes, a black woman walks into M’s office and he calls her 007. This was just specifically for this movie. In the film Bond has retired and another agent has taken the 007 tittle until they bring Bond out of retirement. Multiple sources later stated this wasn’t intended to imply that she will be 007 going forward but just storyline for this film.

Not a false rumor per se, it was briefly in the works but never took off. It wasn't meant to be a female replacement of Bond, but a spin-off series of movies based on Halle Berry's Jinx character that would happen in the off-years of the main Bond films (kinda like Rogue One and Solo for Star Wars). It was apparently dropped to focus on Casino Royale. Here is a source I found:

The trivia section of IMDb claims that another reason for the cancellation was because Charlie's Angels: Full Throttle and Lara Croft Tomb Raider: The Cradle of Life did poorly, but there's no source to back that up so I'd take that one with a pinch of salt.

IIRC, it's been made pretty clear (by our trusted insiders) that the trackless system was built by Oceaneering, who has built many of the other trackless systems for Disney before (and a few more currently, IIRC). Seems a bit strange that ROTR is the only system having issues, but not impossible. I guess the question is whether the two particular trackless systems for ROTR were outsourced for manufacturing (perhaps to China) differently than say the one for Rat in Epcot and MMRR in DHS.

any connections to the different regulatory environs for this space in both ca and fl?
coincidence the locale subject to more stringent guidelines, which had been scheduled for sooner, now opens later?
... perhaps, i'd imagine
great example of brand degradation, but hey, who's not going to trust steven and george?
... at least the creators were the destructors on this one

The real thing that stands out to me from that article is that due to cranky Californians Disneyland expansion plans are all ruined now for the future. Le sigh.

RotR (Rotter) is the first big E-ticket ride Disney's ever created that I have zero interest in riding. The new trilogy is garbage storytelling and the ride looks sterile, dreary, and completely lacking in character. I look forward to the ride's inevitable makeover into something that's actually appealing.

I think it'll be a little better than that, but what do I know, I haven't even seen the land yet.
What I do know is that Marvel Land and PP are nothing to look up to, and I now expect the same here based on what i'm reading and hearing.

I do think Rotter will be impressive, and I hope a lot a folks have fun on it. I just have no interest at all in the new trilogy's dumpster fire story or world. And, while having no Marvel interest didn't stop me from loving Mission Breakout, at least that ride didn't take itself seriously.

It's fair. I'm not really excited to be a prisoner of Stormtroopers and shot at in corridors. It's a bit combing the desert from Spaceballs where they're being too literal with it. Yes, that's something that happens in Star Wars, but it's also not something I would ever really want to do. All we've heard about this ride is that you're taken prisoner, there's 50 Stormtroopers, imperial walkers and Kyle Ren trying to kill you. It seems like it may be taking the aspects that have been done charmingly in Star Tours (More of a byproduct than anything, as you're mostly zipping around neat Star Warsy environments) and making it too gritty and weird with dark sterile spaceship interiors filled with Stormtroopers and crates.
But I don't know. Maybe it'll be cool. We haven't ridden it yet.

The real problem is that none of you would be happy unless it was an original attraction with an original story, some fantastic new Disney ride tunes, and designed by only the greats of Imagineering...
Which would be great... and I hope Mickey and Minnie's Runaway will fill that niche a bit.
But this ride is going to be insane.

Don’t lump me with them. I think half of this ride will be great and the other half ok. It definitely sounds like, once you’re on the Star Destroyer, everything becomes sectioned and repetitive. The queue and the Resistance stuff all sounds like it’ll be a ton of fun so I am hopeful.

I am confused by the thought process that this one ride will somehow turn around the land...
Disney does a mediocre job with the ROA redo and botches Fantasmic.
They botch GotG Mission OVERLAY and Pixar Pier.
They botch Galaxy's Edge.
How are we expecting them to somehow turn around with this ride? Money isn't the issue, each project received a healthy budget. Creative talent isn't the issue, theoretically Lucasfilm, Pixar, Marvel, and WDI are the best in the business.

We’re hoping it’s going to be like... this:
Edit: it es me off that the only video I can find of the curtain working properly (right after the Davy Jones AA) is this video with the obnoxious commentary. It’s one of my favorite moments on any attraction.
