THE 1HAPPY HAUNT
Well-Known Member
I totally get what you meant. I think people are over sensitive these days and are activily looking to be offended by something. A lot of people lack reading comprehension too in general. Too focused on what word(s) are said instead of the context in which said word(s) is used. I am warming up to you too and I am not one to turn down some cuddles.My intention wasn't to offend and I apologies to anyone who was offended by my post.
Likewise but I'm really beginning to warm to you, you can have another of my awesome 'virtual' cuddles we enjoy so much
And yes, I used the suicide analogy not to make light of suicide but rather to emphasise a point. Rather like if talking about sports or competition where one side beats another comfortably and somebody says "Yes, they absolutely murdered them". Their point is clearly not to make light of the act of murder or of murder victims, but rather to emphasise a point. I'll refrain from using the suicide analogy from now on though, as my intent was never to offend and I apologise again to anyone who was offended.
That's sorta what I thought. I mean, are we to believe AT-ATs are just walking around a space ship. IN a room barely big enough for them? WIth Troopers sitting in the heads, just in case.

I trust you but i dont trust your source if that makes sense. I believe you to be 100% credible when you report info reported to you. But the person who is giving you said info i am weary of in light of what I have seen so far. For example in that pic all I see is how the head cover facade is attached to the stationary head and you can see the stationary head and neck from the original construction photo are still entact only with AT-At head cover on. I think your source gave a blanket 'yes' when you asked if the heads move but didnt explain if it was a projection mapping overlay (which I am strongly thinking is what we will see) that simualtes movement or if its a robotic AA head thst moves. This pic just strengthens my no physical head movement theory to me. But if I am wrong, again I will gladly admit I was wrong and eat some humble crow pie.I cant wait until you are allowed to post more pics.

I was going to say "I'd kill for a cuddle" but then thought better of it under the circumstances

I've given my glasses a clean and re-looked at that picture and still can't see the connecting steel 'neck' from the earlier picture? There's possibly something new connecting it higher up but I genuinely can't see the original steel 'neck'?
Oh someone's fragile ego is showing. Unfortunately here just can't just ban anyone that contradicts you like you do on your FB page or Twitter.
Just like how you swore up and down Falcon had multiple missions....
Like I said and TDR2011 said as well the heads don't move.

To be fair, Disney announced multiple missions and released art for them.
That is correct, in fact Falcon was originally supposed to have 5 missions, then it was cut to 3, and they used up all the budget to get the 1 working. The system is designed to have up to 8 missions. What I'm saying is that guy was adamant that Falcon had 3 missions as of May. Does he have a legit source yes, CMs are guessing it's someone in Facilities or a Contractor, but the issue is he can't take being corrected when he's wrong.
He was also one of the folks saying panels moved to reveal more of the screen, wasn't he?

I find it really funny that you folks are essentially drilling down on the specifics of two effects (the AT-AT heads and the blaster shots), yet I don’t think anyone really knows any of the other effects in the attraction. I’ve heard that there WILL be other animatronics, for example, but I can’t think of any specific ones in the attraction aside from BB-8 in Pre-Show #1 and some limited motion Storm Troopers in the reveal sequence... but there must be more than that, right?

It's been confirmed that Kylo is at least one of the AAs, hasn't it?

They've confirmed at least one animatronic Kylo Ren, and we know from leaks that there will be a Mon Calimari too. Other than that we know from trailers, leaks, and simple deduction that a large portion of the ride will be animatronic storm troopers and screens.
We may be going a bit overboard on talking about whether the AT-AT heads move, but I think the blaster bolts are definitely worth talking about, because it seems like they will really be the only wholly new effect technology being used here. We know what AA's look like. We know what screens look like. We've seen Pepper's Ghost a million times. These mid-air blaster bolts sound like something we have never seen before, and it seems to me that the believability of the ride will largely hinge on how good they end up looking.

panels moved?
He may be three of them. Or just two if his light saber coming through the ceiling is one of the three encounters with him.
Everyone realizes that
A. The heads are WAY above the ride vehicles
B. By the time riders see what is happening, they will have to crane their neck way up to even SEE them
C. We’re supposed to see these amazing laser bolts in this room so we will be in too much awe to even notice the AT-ATs
D. They would have to move constantly, and quickly, for the riders to even notice they ARE moving, since no one is going to focus their head that far up.

Sure looks like a turned head to me...
In fact, this image looks reversed. In the video the ride car backs into the elevator. If that's the case, this should be the one on the right, because the elevator is to its side. The one on the left, the elevator is in front of the head.
If this is the case, the one on the left with the elevator in front, does not need to move because it is firing straight ahead.
the image of the underside I posted earlier - I didn't realize before, but its the one on the left. (see sketch)
So this image is the one on the right and does move!
