Star Wars: Rise of the Resistance

I am trying to figure out how the light saber effect is being done. The saber itself is clearly a practical effect, but how are they doing the hole in the ceiling?

Spoiler: How:

That whole inset section of the ceiling is a big disk that rotates, creating the illusion that the saber is carving through when it's actually just swirling into view

That's what I thought too, but the texture of the hole is remaining still in the videos. You're probably right, but there must be some extra aspect to it. Projected texture maybe?

I assume they are projection mapping the glow on the edge of the cut since it doesn't rotate.

so from the different POV videos it looks like some riders get different experiences, i.e. some get to see the finn animatronic while others get to see the AT-AT blasters?

So positive impressions of this, that new game, and the baby Yoda show...

Disney winning over the nerds at the buzzer?

My only concern is... weather. The walk to the transport is outside, and the finale looks like its somewhat exposed. Florida weather being what it is... I wonder how a heavy downpour will effect this.

When they finally break away from the new trilogy and bring in the OT, it’ll feel complete. I’m saying “when,” not “if,” based on the sentiments building within the company—but it’s still a matter of hope, not fact.

Rebellions are built on hope.

It looks like there are two elevators in the AT-AT room, so that's why different vehicles get different views.

Finale is undercover save for strong winds from the east.

transport load is indeed outside.

Yep

What attractions (Disney or Uni) have not had fairly significant downtime in the early days of operation in the last decade or so?

Probably none.

This shouldn’t have opened until the new year. But that wasn’t going to happen. Like many other Disney and uni attractions management overrode those in the know.

It really says it all when there have been no CM previews, no APs, and no softs.

Best POV of the ride i’ve seen:

Incredible. Holy wow.

 

[ABigBrassBand]

For MFSR all DAS used the FastPass line like any other attraction

Oh word, thank you. I wonder how much of the "18 minute experience" is linked only to the stand-by queue and therefore not accessible to DAS

No knowing yet, I guess, but my assumption is not much. We definitely got the full ride experience on MFSR in the FastPass lane. But I don't know how much of the queue is considered attraction here, and if it's replicated in the FP line

From another video, on the other side you see Poe and different images of what's happening in the different AT-AT's when you go up the other elevator.

I think you mean Finn.

 

[trainplane3]

Biggest, most important question:
Shrimp man meets you at the end but what about Nien Nunb?

 

[RobWDW1971]

I think you mean Finn.

Oops, you're right of course.
