…you noticed that too, huh?
The problem there is they spent a ton on an AA to do a preshow…not really thinking the movie they loosely based the ride on was an actual bomb.

So no new E Ticket xwing coaster is being built in catastrophe canyon, huh?

Well, ST remains the best Star Wars attraction they have, so this is great. New missions won’t fix Smugglers - or TSMM, for that matter.

Not that I disagree with your premise…but why Toy story?

It's another attraction that was supposed to feature frequent updates and new games. Its nothing but a wii game, after all.

Gotcha.
I find that a bit less offensive than other screen rides. Because it’s just a score/shooter type game.
The stupidity of millennium Falcon is its a dumb premise taken from a solo plot line. So they should have frankly halted that and went another direction when solo went south.
Let me explain this to everyone on earth: the proper thing to do is build a ride that mimics the battle from return of the Jedi. Period. Welcome to planet pop culture.
Case in point …they made a top gun sequel after 35 years…and what does it do? Blows you out of your seat with flying.
Stop over complicating things here
I know it has critics…but hyperspace mountain did more for me than any of these “fake stress” plot line Star Wars rides. Sometimes (usually)…gravity works.

Launch Bay character M&Gs (Vader, Chewie, BB8) resume this summer.

Was Chewie there simultaneously while Chewie was also in GE and a part of the ride? Seems like a good opportunity to throw someone else in, but I forget how it was before.
Yes.
Popular characters are popular.
Vader/Ren was in Launch Bay at at the Training Academy at the same time, too.
Mickey is in Town Hall and in the 3 PM parade at the same time.

Mickey manages to be in each park in each resort worldwid, or at least when I visit them! Not bad for someone in their 90s

They should just make a George Lucas section in the front. It would make it an easy transition from what it is now.

The whole area around Launch Bay needs something a-doing years ago.

It should be bulldozed and used for a attraction

And that attraction should have been Mickey and Minnie's Runaway Railway.
It's almost like they're letting Animation Courtyard languish so that no one will cry if it's razed and rebuilt into something else.

Hmmmmm how many years is that going to take? I really wish they’d just restore it to the magic of Disney animation for now. And reopen the shops. That whole area is embarrassing. Also while we’re in this area let’s move the bar for brown derby lounge from the little tent they built into the former starting rolls and make that lower patio all lounge seating…

Very, very few would have complained about losing that area since the Florida division of Disney Animation shut down almost two decades ago. It’s been wasted, stagnating space for most of the park’s existence.
There’s no plan, there’s just arrogance and neglect.
