The Miscellaneous Thought Thread

In my 44 years of life, I can only remember falling asleep wacthing 3 movies in the theaters. Up was one of them.

It clearly wasn’t for you. Every movie ever made has probably had someone fall asleep in the theater. Especially Tron (I saw it opening day at Mann’s Chinese Theater and toward the end a guy behind me started for-real full-volume snoring.)

Yeah but it wasn't during the first 10 minutes though.

Nah, I at least try to give movies a bit more than 10 minute's chance.

So one of my ways of coping during the Covid-19 pandemic (outside of watching The Simpsons from Season 1 till 8 on Disney+) is watching the Snow White Live from Radio City Music Hall from the late 70s and early 80s.
Apparently a major reason for this show never gaining a home release is due to a dispute with one of the actors. This show did air on HBO and Disney Channel at one point in time. Also Dopey actually says something!

It seems like it was closed more than it was open during that year.

Yes, truly a rough year for the biggest recent development in the theme park realm. Putting aside things out of Disney's control, the path to making the land successful seems clear at this point. Rumors support that Disney was considering corrective measures and I hope that in the second year we can see those realized.

I wouldn’t hold my breath. All of the major corrective measures like the dinner show restaurant and thrill ride will take longer than a year even in a good economy. Unless you just mean rolling out BB8. That could happen.

I just started thinking of the old Conan the Barbarian show at USH. Wouldn’t a dark indoor Jedi vs Sith lightsaber stunt show entertain more people than watching Chewie and Rey look at a static spaceship? They could have found a way to make an indoor or outdoor theatre work within the context of Batuu. The way they Underused the 14 acres is criminal and the fact that this is a Star Wars land where not one lightsaber duel can be found is crazy.

The lack of lightsaber duels is just Disney's way of being accurate to the Sequel Trilogy.

Hahah ummm I can think of at least 3 from the ST off the top of my head

It isn't that I expect any of this to happen quickly, but I'm encouraged that Disney is talking about improvements. It seems a more typical response for them to blame a fickle public and drop the matter.

I like this and think it would be nice to fold these ideas into an expanded Jedi Training Academy. I gather that most here agree the show would find a natural home at Galaxy's Edge. It would do wonders for the interactivity in the area. Let the kids trigger force based special effects and the actors handle the lightsaber dueling.
Something that occurred to me, is a flaw with having Rey and Vi as walk around characters. Cosplay has gotten so refined that they don't stand out; aliens, Mandelorians, and other masked or distinctive Star Wars figures should be introduced.

Only in the Los Angeles Area.

All the local news stations have preempted the Prime Time Shows for breaking Looting/Arson/Vandalism coverage...

Around 10:30 PM, they preempt the Looting Coverage for a Freeway Car Chase!

I think that's the 51st booster they've landed now.

Hopefully Space X can catch up to the military's black ops space program now.

Bruh, they’re making a Galaxy’s Edge LEGO set. When are we getting a Starspeeder?

Beuh, they’re making a Galaxy’s Edge LEGO set. When are we getting a Starspeeder?

NEED!
