Yep, but in their defense the scope of this ride is MASSIVE. Nothing like this experience has been done on a scale like this.

Is it just me or does the laser blast effect not look that great, at least on video? Not at all like I had pictured it in my mind.
Holy crap! This looks amazing! I really wish Disney had waited till this ride opened to open Galaxy's Edge.

I think our eyes would do a better job comprehending the effect when in person. I'd like to imagine it like waving a light around. In person you will see a "streak" - but on a camera with a higher shutter speed you will see the individual point as it moves through space. I think the original intention was to have them spin a lot faster (1000rpm), but this may have caused unforeseen issues. Looks like they are only spinnning at 1.5 RPM, but I could be wrong.
Yeah the stormtroopers look kinda odd. But I'm going to stay positive! I bet in real life vs a video it is amazing!
I cannot wait to see all of the AAs!!! Especially Kylo Ren and Nien Nunb!

This attraction is set shortly after the Battle of Crait from “Star Wars: The Last Jedi” in the official canon timeline.
This attraction will include a new character, Lieutenant Bek, a Mon Calamari communications officer for the Resistance who will guide recruits on their journey.
Guests can take home their own miniaturized version of the First Order Short-Range Evacuation Vehicle, another ride system featured on the attraction, thanks to a new playset that will be offered at First Order Cargo. The toy features details, lights, and sounds from the attraction, bringing it to life.
Actors from the sequel trilogy will reprise their roles in new scenes for the attraction, including Daisy Ridley (Rey), Adam Driver (Kylo Ren), John Boyega (Finn), Oscar Issac (Poe Dameron), and Domhnall Gleeson (General Hux).
Also that dialogue that I posted is at least from this description from Lt Bek.

You know what's funny?
You guys, I'm torn!
I haven't clicked on any videos posted here, because I want to be surprised in just a few days.
On the other hand, I want to "get" ROTR and not be confused like I was at MFSR last August.
don’t click.

Okay gang, so whats' the game plan for Thursday morning? We all meeting on the walking path at 4am again? 
Every view into space needs to be a screen. We were bound to get 5-10 such screens.
The 14 acres of land includes all the footprints of all the buildings including the rides, shops, and back of house; and not just the guest-facing area.
RotR covers 1 acre itself. It's two stories, so, 2 acres of space, but only half is ride-facing. The other half is BoH.
Looks exactly as I expected. They are far from the riders, and look “meh” it was obviously going to be like that, if you didn’t get sucked in by the hype.

Got to say it looks very impressive from the promo clips, especially the trackless vehicles moving through the corridors. I get the impression that Disney has decided to release quite a lot of footage before opening so they don't face smaller crowds than they anticipated as with MFSR. Can't remember much being released before that opened so maybe they're trying something a little different promo-wise?
As for when it opens, I'm expecting carnage on here. Some who decided 2-3 years ago that this would be a failure desperately searching for faults with it and telling those who enjoy it "Well you say you enjoy it, but you didn't really did you?" etc
