How does Disney keep finding new was to fuck up with Star Wars? It's as if they're allergic to success

>Crowds have already picked up.

That's because they lifted the ban on passholders and cast members from bringing people in. Of course the crowds picked up.

Cast members can get themselves and 3 other people in for free. Pass Holders are usually locals who go in for a couple rides, and leave.

the most talked about movie from this decade is the last jedi

Meanwhile Lucas is laughing at them throwing a $6 billion tantrum while he drinks wine on James Cameron's submarine.

No one is "talking" about it, they are complaining about it. It's feedback, not buzz. Learn not to confuse the two. People are telling Disney what did not work with their product, and want it fixed. The more people talk, the more people see TLJ and the SW franchise is up a shit stream with no paddle.

>basically...have sex

I have had sex, and all it did was make me respect women less.

>disney is going strong with star wars

Spending a lot of money on the wrong things, yes.

>the rian johnson trilogy is happening

I hope it fucking does, just to laugh as Disney wastes their money when no one watches it and it goes in the red after release. I fucking dare them to make his Trilogy. Triple dog fucking dare them.

>rey is not going anywhere

Says she isn't returning after this movie. I wouldn't mind her if they properly arced her character. Kylo is the only nu-wars character that is actually any decent, but his story is sorta meandering.

>the mandalorian will be bigger than the sopranos or breaking bad

Also Disney annual passports are like $800 for a decent one and that does not include parking.

They're literally pouring money into destroying it as a franchise, because Star Wars was THE iconic piece of media that made the west the envy of the rest of the world, for a time. It's literally a bunch of jews angry that some random goy made a successful film- remember, Lucas was actively discouraged from making it by his (((fellow directors))).

Yeah Disney is either insane or they've already given up on GE and are just trying to recoup losses. Probably the Last Jedi backlash is part of what made them lose faith in the park, and turning it into a shopping village was cheaper than trying to fix it into something the fans would actually like.

I could let my own experience bias me here, since i never watched the Last Jedi, never hear anyone talk about it, never watch anything about it, and even Plinkett didn't feel like making a very long review about it (with 58 minutes it's shorter than any other SW review of his).

That would fucking rule and cost practically nothing to run after you built it.

Star Wars doesn't have the same impact on kids these days, my kids couldn't give a flying fuck about Star Wars and trust me I tried to get them interested.

I've personally lost interest as I've gotten older but Last Jedi double tapped an already downed franchise for me.

for all you know, that user could be a million dollar salary executive.

Why didnt they create an Ewok village and throw a bunch of midgets in some Ewok costumes?

But we're not part of this story either. Surely the things visitors do in the park are not actually Star Wars canon.

Because people who gave up on looking for a job are not considered unemployed. Funny eh. NEETS are not actually represented in the unemployment numbers

this is all true

The platforms above the garage in star wars land was built for a stunt show, along with a lot of the rooftops. A few days before the first previews they were filling in the fall puts where people would stun fall into. One of them was a wire cable that would yank a performer towards kylo as he force pulled him into a choke. Droids were supposed to be everywhere but due to the puppeteer strike that happened with disney junior they got cut. People were supposed to be controlling the droids from a few feet a way discreetly but that would have counted as being a puppeteer. Disney does not want to pay people for being puppeteers since they make 30 an hour vs 15. Its why the disney jr show got change from puppets to just animations, they just fired everyone fighting for the union rate and made a new show. AGVA aliens also got cut because of make up unions and such. All entertainment has fallen onto the poor entertainment character department where troopers try their best to put on a good show but are heavily limited in what they can do and say and theres managers breathing down everyones neck at all times. A good example is a suit telling a Rey to stop playing with a littler girl who was showing her the new droid she just made at the droid shop. The reason being that you cant play with your droid in the land because of how easily they break and want it to break at home so that you cant return it.

When people think of Star Wars Land everyone, including sequel fans, will think of Vader and Luke, Han, the Millennium Falcon, some Stormtroopers and Rebels, Tatooine, Yoda, the Death Star, Obi Wan, hell probably even Clone troopers, the Jedi Temple, Maul, Mustafar and Naboo
Who is the Target audience for this? Who thinks of Star Wars Land and says "Yeah, give me some Batuu, the trading post at the edge of the galaxy. Give me some First Order Stormtroopers, the Resistance, Hondo Ohnaka and some Villagers." Who wants this? Who wants to pay hundreds of dollars for tickets and housing, just to walk around some planet that vaguely resembles star wars and no ones ever heard of, especially since the one ride and the bunch of other shit all costs extra? Like the 20 minute Lightsaber building course for 200 fucking $. 200$ for a plastic lightsaber. Where is the recognizable faces, where is the Mos Eisley Cantina, the Trench Run, the Endor Battle, the Battle over Coruscant etc.? Who are they trying to attract here?

That's a good point actually, almost everything in that park can be done without SW license because nothing actually directly quotes films. It just sort of resembles them which you can do in a knock off park.

They're not very good. Boring, flat new characters, destruction of fan favourite old characters, poor plots, nonsensical scenes, terrible choreography.

How could Disney fuck it up so bad?

If attendance is down, I’m guessing it’a because you pay admission and then it seems like 2/3 of the Star Wars stuff you have to pay extra for. Fuck that

Imagine if HP land was set in Schmogwards, a new rival school of wizardry as featured in the Harry Potter: The Schmogwards Stone book

Yeah that's right! Everything yshould be included in the price. Like when I go to the cinema, I should get free popcorn and cola

This analogy would be more apt if the theater had no movie and you simply paid for the privilege of paying again for snack food.

It doesn't cost $200 dollars to go to the movies.

Did you mean Schneedwards?

Imagine applying this same logic to the wizarding world of Harry Potter.

>Why include Hogwarts at a Harry Potter theme park? Fans have already seen Hogwarts and are familiar with it. Visitors who have not watched the films or read the Harry Potter books won't recognize Hogwarts and they might feel excluded, like they aren't true fans. Why not build a *new* wizarding school instead? It could be similar to Hogwarts, but different. You know? That way, everyone feels like they're seeing something new! Build a bunch of wizard shops, but don't call it Diagon Alley. Include no characters from the book series. Instead, visitors can meet Harry Potter's son and his friends from the sequel stage play.

No wonder Galaxy Edge is flopping. Visitors must be feeling a harsh sense of uncanny valley. Everything is "Star Wars"-themed, but there's hardly anything actually from Star Wars. It's like an generic-brand, knock-off version of Star Wars land. It's like what a competing studio would make if they didn't have the rights to do an actual Star Wars™ theme park. Everything feels slightly *off*. Like a subtle, unnerving nightmare.

DisneyLF was in the concept/design/build phases of Galaxy Edge long before the acquisition of 20th Century Fox went through, or was even likely.

20th Century Fox owned the distribution rights to the Original and Prequel trilogies

Why is that? Those rights were not held by Lucasfilm at the time of the sale to Disney. However, if the acquisition of Fox had not gone through, those distribution rights would have been transferred to Disney anyway in 2020. (Except EpIV, which was a separate thing).

So. Disney designed and built Galaxy Edge as Sequel-only because they didn't want to promote content from movies they couldnt sell (yet). It was greed. Pure and Simple.

All the theme parks are turning to shit in Florida. I first went to Universal in the mid 90s, and it was great. All the rides were unique and had some soul to them. I went again last year, and everything now is DUDE, DARK RIDE WHILE YOU WEAR 3D GLASSES LMAO. It's fucking boring.

It's empty because everyone thought it would be overcrowded for the first few weeks and stayed away. It's also unfinished.

This. Galaxy's Edge was planned before any of the sequel trilogy movies had been made. They bet on the idea that the sequel trilogy would be a massive success, as in that Fin, Rey and Kylo would be household names in the leagues of Luke, Obi and Vader. That just never happened because the general populace expect to see Luke, Obi and Vader.

Tryhard overreacting memeposter

Nowadays, it takes people years to save up for even the most basic Disneyland trip. No shit crowds are sparse, it's too fucking expensive.

My condolences.

It’s more efficient, no tracks and just a big screen and one car mean less spent on construction and maintenance.
Plus, if all rides in the park are 3D screen rides then you already have templates for them, less spent on design and testing.
It’s capitalism user, innovation is expensive, making fun rides costs money, and we don’t like cost do we?

Busch Gardens is still amazing. Lots of big coasters, very shaded you don't bake in the Florida heat, relatively short lines, Cheetah is a super fun and unique coaster.

Dilate

Some pointers:

The big bad evil Snoke just pops up from somewhere without any reasons. Is also killed as a sideshow.

Rey is the quintessential mary sue, which I'd be okay with if only they had made the character memorable.

Pointless sidequests.

New Order leaders are more of a comic relief than a threatening professionals, like the old Imperial Navy.

Etc ad infinitum

Don't dilate in front of me, Nagatoro.

WWoHP at Universal takes an actual location from canon media and basically drops you right in the middle of it to give you the most authentic experience possible. You feel like you're actually in the world of Harry Potter because it's locations and people and things you recognize. SWGE has none of that, so everything feels insincere and put on. You can't immerse yourself because the only familiar thing there is the Millennium Falcon, which doesn't even have at least Chewie hanging around. Just like most "worlds" at Disney parks, it becomes apparent very quickly that everything is slowly leading you into a gift shop and goading you into spending as much money as possible.

they let that disgusting thing on the left around children?

this way to the egress

Edge sucks at the moment, which may be keeping people away thanks to the pricing. But we have to wait until Disney rescinds it's retarded "no annual passes" crowd control measure in August to see what the actual draw is. Can't judge that with park numbers down across the board. Expect a flux when they install the second ride. Remember we're dealing with normies here.

So, curious. Usually the "SJW killed it" narrative, for whatever reason turns out to be bullshit in most instances. Given black panther, Wonder woman, and captain marvel, being massively profitable regardless.

So if SJW didn't kill Galaxy's edge, why aren't people going? You would think normies who do not care nor follow the star wars SJW drama. Would be out there eating Galaxy's Edge up.

Is this all bullshit, and people really do want to go to Galaxy's Edge? Or is it a bomb because SJW themes? Or is it just a shit experience, that bombed on arrival?

>How does Disney keep finding new was to fuck up with Star Wars?
Because Disney figured that, with Star Wars under their umbrella along with Marvel, Pixar, and their "original" animated films, they've become "untouchable." The acquisition of Star Wars has 100% exposed them for all their avaricious arrogance and pride, and it's backfiring tremendously. Personally, I thought it would've taken 10 years for it to fail under them, but I never expected that in a mere 2 years in, they'd fuck it all up so much. It's genuinely morbidly hilarious. So many cucks thought that they'd do justice to the franchise post-Lucas era, only for them to do far worse than even the Prequels in terms of overall quality and lack of respect for both the lore and the fans. Under Disney, Star Wars has:
>the worst in-universe timeline
>the worst new OC characters
>the worse narrative cohesion
>the worse dialogue
>the worst expanded nu-lore
>the worst toys
>the worst merchandise sales
>the worst middle act of an trilogy
>the worst company president
>the worst nu-fanbase
>the worst shippers since the Twilight fanbase
>the worst nu-TV shows
>the worst excuse for what was once believed to be a central antagonist
>the worst central protagonist

>the worst fight choreography (throne room scene)
>the worst excuse for resetting everything
>the worst excuse for a super weapon
>the worst theme park
>the worst excuse for forcing a meme (porgs)
>the worst lore keepers
in the history of pop culture, fiction, literature, all of cinema in general. I knew corporate politics would eventually ruin something so treasured for so long, but I never expected it to be so raped like this. Disney is the most evil entertainment company in human history thus far, and it will only get worse for Star Wars under nu-Lucasfilm as they continue to double down on retardation. Deal with it.

Convince them to go to Universal instead.

Because it's the Sequel Era. Nobody cares about the sequel trilogy except for grognards who want to see how it ends. Despite the billions spent on marketing it, it has just as little cultural impact as Avatar - kids do not care about it, because it's not made for kids, it's made for nostalgia-goggles wearing RLMfag neckbeards.

>what happened to this country

This. That's literally why people go to Civil War battle site reenactments, it's why they go to Williamsburg, it's why they go to any themed place. People would have been more interested if the advertisement was more like "Travel to Tatooine and you can walk around the Lars farm and meet Luke!" Luke actors would have been knee-deep in pussy and boipussy constantly.

And it could have easily been divided into several lands, like adding Coruscant and having a dinner theater set up like the Opera.

Considering it's based off of one of the dullest franchise in the history of movie franchises I don't think so. Seriously each episode following the boy wizard and his pals from Hogwarts Academy as they fight assorted villains has been indistinguishable from the others. Aside from the gloomy imagery, the series’ only consistency has been its lack of excitement and ineffective use of special effects, all to make magic unmagical, to make action seem inert.

Perhaps the die was cast when Rowling vetoed the idea of Spielberg directing the series; she made sure the series would never be mistaken for a work of art that meant anything to anybody?just ridiculously profitable cross-promotion for her books. The Harry Potter series might be anti-Christian (or not), but it’s certainly the anti-James Bond series in its refusal of wonder, beauty and excitement. No one wants to face that fact. Now, thankfully, they no longer have to.

>a-at least the books were good though

"No!" The writing is dreadful; the book was terrible. As I read, I noticed that every time a character went for a walk, the author wrote instead that the character "stretched his legs."

I began marking on the back of an envelope every time that phrase was repeated. I stopped only after I had marked the envelope several dozen times. I was incredulous. Rowling's mind is so governed by cliches and dead metaphors that she has no other style of writing. Later I read a lavish, loving review of Harry Potter by the same Stephen King. He wrote something to the effect of, "If these kids are reading Harry Potter at 11 or 12, then when they get older they will go on to read Stephen King." And he was quite right. He was not being ironic. When you read "Harry Potter" you are, in fact, trained to read Stephen King.

That's probably what influenced their decision making above all else, they can just turn it into Aladdin land or something.

hmm interesting. so sjws did it?

So do the Stormtroopers (or whatever they're called) just have some pre-recorded voice lines that they randomly shit out? I haven't seen a single interaction with them that isn't really awkward and everything they say doesn't seem to match up with what the park goer said to them.

Looks pretty crowded to me my dudes.

Non-Incel/overreaction reasons Galaxy's Edge is under-performing and Disney

1.) Lack of attractions/stuff nobody has ever heard of. The insistence to be its own place is ambitious but no Vader/Luke/etc is hurting it
2.) People don't care about the new movies that much, if it was prequels-only it'd also lack attention desu (though I find the prequels better than the sequels). People are nostalgic mainly for the originals.
3.) The season pass holder policy
4.) ticket price increase

It's not a rejection of disney or star wars as a whole even

Dilate

I want Vader, Luke, Boba Fett, Leia, Padme, Oola, Ahsoka, Obi-wan Old and Young, Aayla Secura, more Twi'leks.

>big corporation

Disney keeps fucking up Star Wars on purpose to push their woke bullshit. Also, obviously Star Wars is going to suffer because Disney and Nu-Lucasfilm keeps treating Star Wars fans (you know, their paying customers?) like shit. Galaxy's Edge is literally a ghost town now, no-one's going there anymore and rightfully so.

Exactly and it would be safe for the kids, no risk of hitting someone with a lightsaber prop.

Damn, it's really "no fun allowed".

Why aren't wagies shelling out their shekels for an uninspired theme park, full of niggers, degenerates and spics? I don't bust my ass to knowingly go to where niggers are. Thats why the ticket raise in WDW is ok.

Also, until this shit happens in WDW, it can be chalked up to california is shit, and being around niggers

And Disney wonders why their woke theme park is failing?

Maybe he is George Lucas himself.

And there is another problem:
If you don't like the franchise, you're not going to watch it all the 2843 movies released during the year. If someone dislike a movie, he isn't going for the next one.
So, in the end, you're limiting your audience.
I kind of respect Avatar for using 3D. The movie is shit, but innovative.

These are the actual reasons. There's also the fact that the park was deliberately designed to be somewhere new that they can retcon to be a place that pops up in the PT, OT, and ST eras. With just some costume/merchandise changes, they can re-theme the whole thing overnight to sell "exclusive" and "limited-time" merchandise. The whole reason they started with the ST was so it could be Disney/LF-exclusive stuff if the Fox deal didn't go through, and because it's the only era that can sell merchandise from the entire series. You should 100% expect a PT- or OT-era retheme within the next 2-3 years where they'll change out all the meet and greets. Hell, by using Hondo, they can already use the MF ride in all three eras, easily.

Redditors raus

Yeah, WDW makes even more sense because you have 4 parks to mix it up each time. Even if you lived out by UCF, it only takes like 40 minutes until you're parked at Disney.

The spaceship stroller starts at $100 for the day (from 9 a.m., 10 a.m., or 11 a.m. to 5 p.m.), with a $20 per hour charge for each hour after 5 p.m.

Absolutely no ulterior motives in that advertising pic. Just marketing a stroller.

It is honestly really weird walking in to Galaxy's Edge from the rest of Disneyland.
Disneyland is pretty small and everything is so dense. Rides are practically built on top of each other. Star Wars is at a completely different scale. Half the land is empty space (Critter Country side) and even once the ride over there opens, it will still feel pretty empty. The other half is basically a shopping mall. It has a ton of shops and a food court. The decision not to make it themed after a specific planet from the movies was a huge mistake. There is a full sized Millennium Falcon, which is neat, but after that it really isn't that interesting if you don't want to shop. Over at Harry Potter you can explore places you read about or saw in the movies. Over at Star Wars you get to see some random asshole's popcorn stand. Its cool to just walk in to the Three Broomsticks and see it modeled out for you, not to mention picking up a Butter Beer there. Why would I care about Docking Bay 7 and the 16 dollar chicken tender?

this, my grandmother lived in LA when they opened and went the first day they were open to the public, she said literally everything was broken.

Shit myself when I found out Jaws, King Kong, Earthquake, Back to the Future are all gone from Universal. Some of my best memories are from those rides.

Kind of. The ride takes you inside an area dressed up as the interior of the falcon and the way it loads and unloads creates a pretty good illusion of you being inside the ship.
The interior of the Falcon as shown in the movie is physically impossible, and trying to translate that in a way that people can go in and out and see everything would be a capacity nightmare.

You actually are allowed to bring your own food and drink. Which is a good idea unless you want to pay for a $5 water bottle.

Eisner fucked a good few things up, but at least the guy had some ambitious ideas. I'm still upset Disney's America got canned.

Incompetence? Executives who have a personal agenda that head for the door when the check is due? A bit of both?

money, stretching it out reaaaly long. Look at the amount of money they already made without trying that hard $25000 for a toy. Ok now imagine they updated the park 5 years down the line with the shit you really wanted (like the map above) little by little. Like the bullshit the videogame industry does. I forgot what it was called but like the game you buy isn't even finished yet. They add fucking patches on it years down the road. I have never played video games and I don't like this business strategy. But they use it:
Don't give the people everything all at once: Stretch it out in the span of their lives.
Apperantly Disney made 6billion or whatever with this bullshit of a new trilogy. They shat out a starter and now that the dust has settled, they are going to start actually producing the "good" shit. i.e. Old Republic. Which is something they should have done from the start, everyone knows that. But they would have lost on all this profit they made with this new trilogy.

We all owe him an apology.

>Completely empty aside from one ride.

DLP is now regarded as an imagineering triumph. God bless you Mike.

If anything, you could partially blame it on George for hiring Kathleen Kennedy and Disney for keeping her in place.

The guy in charge of the Disney Store chains is running the parks now, so yeah, that makes sense.

The merchandise at GE is all crap, too. It's all low quality and Nu-wars themed. Even the Bantha milk mugs have to have a TLJ boob manatee on the reverse side just to remind you that it's a disney product. All the models and stuff they have for sale are inferior quality to any of the licensed merch you can buy from other companies, and all the apparel is Nu-wars themed.

They made a park for the die-hard Nu-wars fan and that demographic simply does not exist. The only people who pretend to love Nu-wars are the shills, and they are going to demand they be invited to the park for free because they work so hard at being Star Wars fans for Disney.

>captain marvel

The Disney CEO's outright complained that it under-performed.

I like Potter but mostly because I grew up with the films as a kid and watched them every Christmas, first few are pretty comfy. Rowling is pretty shit at worldbuilding but it's at least charming on the surface, that's why the park works.

>disney is going strong with star wars

>People would have been more interested if the advertisement was more like "Travel to Tatooine and you can walk around the Lars farm and meet Luke!" Luke actors would have been knee-deep in pussy and boipussy constantly.
Put Luke in between Empire and Jedi. It's a license to rake in cash.

>Lack of attractions/stuff nobody has ever heard of. The insistence to be its own place is ambitious but no Vader/Luke/etc is hurting it
I'd argue that Luke wouldn't have made a difference because of The Last Jedi. It all starts with the movies.

whoring out your product is mostly looked down on but a theme park is the one time it is encouraged
and the one time disney showed hesitation in whoring out star wars was fucking star wars land, hell the selling point of the park is that it was suppose to make you feel immersed through all the actors and extras, and then they cut all the actors and extras
