Star Wars: Episode IX - THE RISE OF SKYWALKER

[jye4ever]

Get your *** kicked by Rose and her Kanji Klub gang lol

I can just stay home and play Battlefront 2 thank you very much.

I can't believe that finally it's actually becoming reality that we can interact with these icons that are entire months old, lol. I mean some of these characters have been in our lives going as far back as 2017.

I have always dreamed of spending $5000 to hang out with an animatronic 5th rate character from a cartoon lol

I can't wait to ride on a Bantha as it slowly creeps through the deserts of Tatooine!

Reviews I've read so far have been mixed. It all looks and feels like you're in the SW universe but the rides themselves are boring AF. It's like go there to get a picture next to the Falcon, and then go ride Tower of Terror or something.

Well if you goto the WDW version opening next year, you cant ride Tower.....they closed it to turn it into a GOTG ride....

That's only in Disney Land, from what I've heard. WDW is safe, for now.

Lucas is at it again with that 12 year olds ideology.

In his new 20 year Phantom Menace anniversary interview he’s going back to that well that if you were 12 the movie was great but if you were 30 then it only served as an unfortunate but painful reminder that SW movies were always meant for 12-year-olds not 30-year-olds.

Sigh.

I was 9. We largely hated it too.

Man that Falcon ride at the new Star Wars theme park is getting ripped to shreds lol

Falcon looks great but the experience sucks.

So one person controls the up and down of the Falcon and the other person the left and right, go ahead try playing a video game that way lol

That’s just the 2 pilot seats the other 4 spots in the ride they said was boring crap.

How much does going to that park cost, 5k-10k ouch.

From CNN:

"As for the experience itself, don't expect a reenactment of a planet, moon or battle you've seen in any of the films or TV shows. "We know we are not part of those stories," said Scott Trowbridge, the Disney creative executive behind the new theme park land. So this isn't Tatooine, Coruscant or Endor but a new Earth-like planet called Batuu."

What a stupid idea.

So you go to Harry Potter World, you get to walk inside Gringot's, ride the Hogwarts Express (with Harry and the gang seemingly outside your carriage) go to the leaky Cauldron and walk through a massive, accurate recreation of Daigun Alley, all recreating iconic scenes from the movies.

SW fans get to visit not the iconic Cantina, Jabba's Palace, or Death Star... or Hoth or Tatooine... but "Batuu." What a massive wasted opportunity.

I’m ok with the setting as long as the experience is great meaning the falcon can be flying thru Manhattan for all I care as long as it’s fun and actually worth the thousands people are paying then great but that falcon experience sounds horrible even if they had made it an OT location.

Wait what — *how much* are people paying?

Well the public hasn’t attended yet this was a press event but i’ve read some crazy numbers being shelled out for booking the experience especially if you’re building lightsabers for the kids lol

Regardless these bad reviews is not what Disney needed so close to IX.

Waiting in line for 3 hours to build a $215 FX lightsaber.

lol

Not recreating any OT locales has got to be one of the dumbest ideas imaginable. Sounds like they might have spent billions to provide an experience that can't even match the 1986 Star Tours ride.

Just imagine how dumb it is to have two people control the flight maneuvering of the falcon the reporter said that no matter what he did with going up and down the guy next to him that was in charge of going left and right kept crashing so it was frustrating and not fun then the park penalizes your credits at the end for not doing well even though technically you can’t fail the ride lol

I hope you don’t end up in the engineering or weapons position they’re even worse than the piloting.

One of the reviewers said that they missed the entire screen presentation in the falcon because they were forced to just stare at the blinking weapons light on the console just so they could hit a firing button lol

I told you guys this before hahaha, my dudes disney is banking so hard on destroying your SW nostalgia by force feeding you their plan of the franchise and future proofing themselves with **** that doesnt make sense, like wtfff rise of the resistance is supposed to be an hour long but still, disney ruined your precious star wars by trying to appease the newer generation, i had to look up who was the guide of the ride and sad to say a lot of people will too, the lightsaber thing is true and right now you can’t even wait since you need to stay on property meaning miraculously having a reservation on the disney hotels until june 24th to get in, this is why i hate low key hate/love disney, marvel will head a similar route, disney is saved until 2024 because the universal orlando park has the marvel theme park rights.

I’ll still take my kids and watch them suck at pressing buttons, they’re six still hahaha

Especially since Rey flew it solo.

I'll be there next week and a few weeks afterwards. Can't wait

Aww jeez, think I’ll try a month or so later, it’s probably going to be jam packed this whole summer

I wonder what the ticket prices are going for

Is Ford growing a beard for a movie? Makes him look much older.

BDW looks surprisingly good for his age.

"Santa's Vengeance"

Sequel to the fugitive?

Beards have never been HF's friend. For some people, beards and un-manicured hair make them look homeless or crazy, regardless of age.
