Wow this has gotta be the longest no groups called. There was a nasty storm with lightning last night. Maybe caused some issues?
"Like on any typical day, the 10am boarding group allocation was snapped up with seconds, and those who secured early groups were given an expected 30 minute estimated return time. No groups were subsequently called, and the 2pm virtual queue allocation was also filled in around 10 seconds.
ABC News has a video of a severe lightning strike hitting one of the spires within Galaxy's Edge during a severe thunderstorm last night. On all of its structures, Disney employs extremely comprehensive lightning mitigation systems, which would have certainly been called upon during this direct hit.
It isn't clear yet if the ride sustained any damage as a result, although the fact that Disney has continued to allocate boarding groups would suggest that it isn't anything major or expected to cause a sustained closure."
Star Wars: Rise of the Resistance remains closed today possibly due to lightning strike last night
A severe storm last delivered a direct lightning hit to Galaxy's Edge last night.

They may have been better just announcing early this morning that ROTR wouldn't operate. Can't imagine how many complaints they'll have today...

There's been some nasty storms the past few days. There was a lightning strike near my place that rattled my backyard glass door for several seconds and nearly shook the whole place. Felt like the strike just missed me.
Lightning can make a tree literally explode like there was a C4 charge attached to it.
It can also supercharge a cat to run 3 times its top speed...

I hope they comped guests that were at least in the first few groups. Today’s situation was just brutal.

It was just Ghost Yoda striking back at the land and ride for not including a proper Yoda AA.

Did you get any compensation? I know it's likely related to the lightning but crazy to think they did not board one person today.
Hopefully it's figured out for tomorrow.
Not that I'm aware of.

Why would they give compensation? Do you get compensation when any other ride is down for the day at any other park besides a fastpass if you were on the ride when it went down?

For ROTR, previously, yes.

That was different. that was when the ride barley first opened and they had people in the queue. this is just a normal ride breakdown. no one should expect compensation.
