>Wait times this summer for the new Millennium Falcon: Smugglers Run ride were expected to be over 2 hours long all summer, but in reality, the lines have been averaging half that or less,” an employee, who spoke under the condition of anonymity, tells FOX Business. "As a result, the company has been forced to cut our hours. The need for us to work simply isn't there.
>Employees are now working under 40 hours per week. “Our hours have been cut to as low as 30-35 hours some weeks, even though we have both worked for the park for years. It makes life challenging when your paychecks get cut unexpectedly" the same source explained. A worker can earn around $15 per hour. The reduced workweek means a paycheck, before taxes, could fall from $600 to $450.
Disney took the biggest sci fi Name, and killed it faster than George could in the mid 2000’s. Are the TFA toys STILL in bargain bins?

it's a Disney policy because they don't want park goers in cosplay getting mixed up with the actual mascots. People would want to get photos with cosplayers, it would cut into Disney profits since it's faster to get a photo with Discount Elsa, and then there's the liability problem. If Discount Elsa gets hurt on Disney property because someone yeeted their kid at them then Disney is responsible and they don't want that. Better to get rid of cosplay all together.

How does a Star Wars themed exhibit not have any of their classic characters walking around? They in regular Disney Land, and now that their Edge is being ready, why not go there?
I get so tired of reading about this shit. People rubbing their hands together, and elling "Get woke go broke" as though they are winning some sort of culture war. Disney are losing money because they are mishandling the IP, not because Rian Johnson put a gook in his film.
Colton Wood

the sjw crap is part of mishandling the IP. She wasn't even the worst part, Holdo was.

You're absolutely right. It has nothing to do with an Asian in a lead role. FFS, there was a popular television show of Superman in the 90's where Super-fucking-man was a Nip and literally no one flipped out. It was popular and based, because they didn't mishandle the IP. Racists are angry at Kelly Marie Tran just existing, but most people are more mad that her character was offensively stupid and bad.
That's what I'm gloating about, not the stupid racism angle. Actions have consequences, and it's very satisfying to see Disney eat a big, fat LOSS for once.

Playing devil's advocate here, that's probably discounted simply because Disney Infinity has been offline for 2 years or so and all the expensive figures became worthless ugly lumps of plastic overnight. They're all heavily discounted in my country.
I nabbed a Captain Barbossa one for 2€ just because I like the character
I was picking up old Toys R Us stock when it went under.

Not arguing with you there, but have you noticed fat fucks are often delusional and want that the world change around them, instead of them eating less until they've shrunken down to a size where they can support their own weight and move around with relative ease?

You'll see this more now in future MCU titles since they're using the All New All Different lineup from the comics and that shit is horrible and reflects that in sales.
Jonathan Butler
It is because of politics though that its of low quality and failing. ideology above quality.
nobody cared because it wasnt sjw stuff, it was just done and not really referenced. the fatal missunderstanding is that anti sjws are racist. that's fantasy from the sjws. the identity movement the sjws push is racism.

>How does a Star Wars themed exhibit not have any of their classic characters walking around? Because it's themed as an actual planet from the GFFA that exists away from the warzones. Can't have Leia, Luke, Han, Vader or the droids hang out there without having to explain it in canon (no idea how Rey can be there all day but I guess there's a timejump between TLJ and TROS and instead of gathering new members for the ReeBellion, she spent her time taking pictures with nerds, zoomers and toddlers.) Thanks to Galaxy's Edge, Coca Cola is canonical to Disney's Star Wars Canon.
Episode 9 is gonna ruin Palpatine and Lando, and I don’t want to watch it happen :(

Jason Hill
>Does the bargin bin curse latch onto the pre-Disney march? The bargain bin applies to all modern star wars products no matter what era (prequel, OT or sequel).
The quality and price of the modern Star Wars figure is ridiculous. Compared to the mid '90s power of the force kenner toys, see left side of pic. These toys sold well despite no movies at the time.
Modern Star Wars toys are crap. From small lego sets with a couple mini figures, to bad normal figures. They have OVERSATURATED the market with Yoda, Vader, Stormtrooper derivatives. Vader on everything, from towels to kitchen products.
Solo products were a huge FLOP. TLJ too. You can't give that shit away. They have tried over the years to rerelease OT stuff like the Black series being all premium figures but collectors don't really want premium figures, they miss the good but cheap older figures that bring back nostalgia.
No one really wants Star Wars products. The comics are meh. The films are meh. The videogames are meh. The books are meh. People talk about SJWs but it is fatigue that has killed these movies.
They thought it was too big to fail but it did. They thought they could just print money.
Compare this to the early '90s: Thrawn trilogy/shadows of the empire and other EU books were keeping people hyped. Thrawn trilogy a Times best seller. Numerous videogames. Numerous comics. Shelves and aisles stocked full of great toys. This hype is what made George Lucas want to do the special editions and later the prequels.
Sheev is in episode 9? How? Isn't his character dead?
Brayden Rogers
Is Mini and Park Rey gonna be okay?
Lucas Barnes
with han, people love edge. they used to call it "attitude" and Harrison fords Han Solo has it. It's what made him popular. A hold no punches mans man who doesnt give a shit about political correctness or whats socially acceptable.

Leo Rivera
Sheev "Plagueis' mastery I achieve" Palpatine.
Logan Powell
Did you not hear the laughing at the end of the trailer? You just know they only added sheev to appease memers, since they are heavy on the older films
Rumours are Sheev is back and will latch his soul onto Matt Smith's character. And he was posessing Snokes body.
Asher Evans
THICC
Julian Smith
in your pic, all those asian girls look exactly the same, but as im not racist i can tell them apart.
Leo Hughes
They added Sheev because Rian simply rolled with "Snoke is NuSheev, he gets to say and do the same shit and die" instead of developing him away from that, so now they need to bring in Papa Palpy to declare that everything has been part of his Keikaku.
I think watching a literal talking cabbage on screen would have been pretty entertaining user

>Disney took the biggest sci fi Name, and killed it faster than George could in the mid 2000’s. Are the TFA toys STILL in bargain bins?

Not really.
First reason is that there is a global downturn in selling toys. Kids don't want toys. They want a new phone and then they spend their entire time on the phone, not playing with toys.
As for SW in particular the quality is the main issue. First of all there are/were no new decent video games in ages apart from the lego ones and the lego brand carries those easily. Everything else is total shit or a very transparent cash grab. For example I used to play Jedi Academy on the PC nightly for years or Jedi Power Battles with my friends on a console. Why? Because the games were fun and easy to get into and they delivered a SW experience. Now they can't even release a proper game where you swing a saber around a bit without fucking that up. As for toys the entire ST marketing is a disaster. Rebels vs Empire or Droids vs Clones is an easy sell. The sides are clearly defined and you get to pick your favorite characters. What do the sequels have? The entire context is vague and foggy. There's a Resistance and they're not really with the New Republic because obscure reasons explained in side materials. The movies are very vague on this because it's supposed to be contextualized "later" or buy reading some books or whatever the fuck. This confuses kids because they can't "place" the good guys. On top of that who are they going to be playing with? Literally the only interesting people on the good guy side are Poe and Rey and that's it. Everyone else is annoying. And the bad guys (First Order) are again kinda difficult to take seriously. Their home base is not clearly defined and their specific goals are not clearly defined. And virtually all of them are potrayed in a comical and goofy fashion. You can't take any of them seriously. Phasma is ridiculed and so is Hux. Kylo is tantruming around all the time. Snoke was some bargain bin emperor and disposed of without much effort etc...
Brayden Williams
A talking cabbage that doesn't even state >Yes Captain Dameron. There is a plan. It is being followed. I think it wise to not make you privy to what it entails. is still shit. From a visual standpoint, I'd fuck Laura Dern on the spot even in that getup. Holdo is just a terrible character, is all.

Kayden Howard
>Not really. Dunno why you're disagreeing when you seem to repeat a lot of what I said. I mentioned the modern videogames being shit.
While it is true that kids don't want as many toys. The quality of the toys has gone down massively and the price has gone up so much that not even collectors of merch want them. All Star Wars products have fallen into this "gift for someone at work who says they like star wars" feeling. Buy someone a vader mug in the office.
Kids still want toys (not as many) but not these toys. Parents don't want to shell out for them.
>What do the sequels have? The entire context is vague and foggy. Absolutely. Star Wars worked when you had Luke, Han, Leia. It followed classic archetypes that were simple and kids could recognise. Princess, rogue, hero, wise old sage. Bad guys were bad. C3PO was the only bumbling comic relief.. ah.
Yes, see pic related. It actually sold better than Rose.
Finn was one of the only new characters I liked in TFA, so imagine my disappointment when he’s reduced to C-plot filler, and ruin a possible character arc with him toughening up against his fears; I don’t care if Rian subverted my expectations, that “save what we love” part ruined what could’ve been a great sacrifice
Parker Ramirez
I see it also with Temuera Morrison.
Any Maoi Yea Forums users: is Once Were Warriors a good movie?
Cameron Torres
>Han was comic relief too Yeah but he wasn't bumbling.
Hux and Finn have both been bumbling. It is quite awful.
Tyler Hernandez
looks like someone stalked the wrong celeb
Austin Wood
Same. I fucking spit out my drink when Rose ruined Finn's story arc. He would have arced and been a decent character (kinda) if he'd an heroed. But then Rose had to shit all over him.
I hope once the contracts are up the actors can tell us how they REALLY feel. I get the impression Boyega is pissed about what they did to him. I don't blame him.
Imagine how excited you would have been in 2014 to hear you're playing an ex-stormtrooper who resists his conditioning and joins the rebellion. You would have been walking on air. Then look what they did to Finn...
Owen Lopez
Finn sacrificing himself would've also been a way out for the writers, since they really didn't know what to do with Finn in TLJ and probably won't in The Rise of Skywalker.
Owen Lopez
Because the Darth Vader cosplayers would BTFO all the employees.

How do you guys think the scrapped Carrie shots will look in 9?
Bentley Smith
I don't think people are really understanding how bad TLJ was. It wasn't just drinking a little too much and vomiting, it was full blown liver failure. It was a horrible movie, but horrible movies aren't rare. What makes it exceptional is that it killed one of the most lucrative IPs in history. It's a failure of near mythological caliber.
Scott Pilgrim isn't exactly "manly" either. The whole evil exes shtick is to convince Ramona that despite his appearance and behaviour, he still fits the bill to be with her. And he only accomplishes that because his world operates on video game tropes.

Here's what the character "looked" like when she first appeared in Claudia Gray's Phasma prequel book. By that time, Disney executives had already decided she had to be renamed to Vi Moradi instead of having the name the author intended for her. It's all a machine.
Also they based it off of the new trilogy, instead of the OT trilogy or even PT trilogy. The PT trilogy isn't good per se, but it's gotten to the point where late 20s/early 30s view Episode I as nostalgic and comfy.
Marvel ran its course, its over effectively. they have to have a dip in quality so they can bring it up again years later and impress people with something that resembles the quality of their childhood experiences. game plan seems sound.
HollyWEIRD has been producing garbage for a very long time. For one I am sick of the anti-white anti-male propaganda. That's why I watch anime. Only movies I actually like are the LOTR & that's it.
I haven't gone to the movie theaters in years, & on don't plan onto either.
Parker Allen

Star Wars has literally always been for children. That's why Lucas took a low pay on the original in exchange for all of the toy and merchandising rights. Star Wars has existed since day one to churn out toys and other bullshit for kids.

Krabby Land, Fyre Fest, Dashcon, Galaxy’s Edge, what else?
Ayden Martin
Lucas might have been shitty director-writer, but he knows how to make the money flow. Even with PT was average, the merch and media around it made sure he was rolling in money. KK is a stupid ass nigga when it comes to milking the fans.
Brody Gray
There's going to be a mass shooting in Hollywood if Disney ever touches Your Name.
This crap is all to swindle government money for construction, especially when they talk about new jobs. Try to tell me with a straight face that not a dime of money from Anaheim or the State of California "supported" Galaxy's Edge.
>What attractions will Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge feature? >Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge will feature 2 signature attractions—Millennium Falcon: Smugglers Run and Star Wars: Rise of the Resistance, opening January 17, 2020. >January 17, 2020
He could have turned down the role after reading the shitty script. You have to hand it to Liam Neeson. Either through dumb luck or a better negotiated contract, he saw that the prequels were going to be garbage and asked that his character be killed off in the first film. He didn't even come back as a ghost in the remaining films.
Robert Rodriguez

It's almost like they too are racist and that they look down on minorities while wanting to profit from them and make themselves seem morally superior.
You have to wonder what percentage of the blame for Toys 'R' Us going bust goes to private equity parasites and what percentage goes to incompetent management who loaded up on crappy Star Wars merchandise.

>it's unfortunately scripted. Fuck this gay Earth.
They got paid when you walk in the gate. Everything else is bonus cash, like $2000 necklaces based on the plastic one Leia wore in the first movie. If anything, they want you out of the park sooner, so they can sell another ticket at the gate to another person - after you spend enough cash on concessions, parking, and everything else they sell. The character actors are to entertain people while waiting in line, and little kids. They're paid for before you even step through the gate.

The stores were starting to get as bad as Sears or K-Mart user. Went there like 6 months before they announced they were shutting down to pick up a game and it was in horrid shape. No one at the registers, isles looked thrown around and had not been stocked in awhile, etc.

Diversity solely for the sake of diversity is a stupid thing unless there is an extinction event you're preparing for and essentially want to put chips on every square of the roulette table. Otherwise, it is best to hire the most qualified person for the job. Hollywood has always had a problem with nepotism and casting couch beneficiaries but those people typically had at least one talent-based attribute that made them somewhat suitable for the job.

That, or determine if its a front.

Disney saw this market and said - we can't outlaw it - so lets get in on the game.

Don’t worry user. In order to increase diversity, we need more and more human diversity and less aliens. Given the Human-dominant Empire being based off Nazi Germany, promoting human diversity in a galaxy of aliens would be like promoting white aryan diversity in a post-WWII setting.

This place is a physical representation of mobile game micro transactions.
They want the 10% that will spend money to come and the 1% that will spend thousands of dollars.
Jacob Ortiz
this. The lack of aliens in the nu-disney movies is annoying.
The OT didn't have them because of budget/special effects issues. Prequels had them at decent levels. No excuse for sequels
Ian Young
this is the only user that's right. Corporate America has been eyeing cosplay for years and trying to think of ways to profitize it - because it's basically a DIY artform. There were articles about outlawing it and trying to fine people like Mp3 downloading.
Disney doesn't want competition to their brand and they tried the next best thing.
so since this is the star wars galaxy, the price are credits right? Weird that Credits have the same exchange value as the US dollar...

>First reason is that there is a global downturn in selling toys. Factually untrue. The global toy industry is growing, despite a bad year in 2018 from the implosion of Toys R Us. Any site that discusses the global toy industry says it's back to good times, and the future looks great.
Star Wars toys? Nobody wants them. But everything else is selling just fine.
Austin Carter
The first edition of the specialty drinkware sold out in the first week. Tiki-fags and (((mouse speculators))) bought them all up. Only available on ebay and such.
Juan Barnes
So that's where the "nice guys are actually evil" meme comes from. There's actually retards with so little self awareness that they will literally call themselves a nice guy in a desperate attempt for sexual approval from women? What the fuck is wrong with modern men.
Luis Sanchez
>evil badass sith antagonist >just a guy with a dinosaur head and Tony Jay's voice Awesome games, but stupid characters and stories. Same with The Force Unleashed.

>Star Wars toys? Nobody wants them. But everything else is selling just fine. >a time where toys are growing >fail at selling Star Wars toys I’m currently unable to comprehend how such a thing is even possible. There’s got to be some law of physics they’re violating.
Parker Hill
all I can think about when I see any empire people or storm troopers from the park is how much worse they look then the many many cosplayers I've seen over the years
Noah Williams
This is genuinely saddening to see, especially looking back at their first times filming this series
Liam Bailey
Methinks that’s what happens when you do it as a job instead of passion.
Alexander Gonzalez
Shit, I meant to say "not Tony Jay's voice"
Robert Thomas
This shit is so obviously scripted.
Anthony Hall
Knowing Disney, Ewok sized.
Landon Brown
They should make a Toy Story movie about all the unsold Star Wars toys.
Adam Carter
It's because they pay for accuracy - like Civil war re-enactors. It's their model ship or memorabilia - it's just something they can wear and enjoy. Disney will cut costs to make profit.
>Bad quality. >Too expensive. >People don't like the characters. >Boring alien designs and background characters. >Re-releasing super expensive OT premium figures. >Using the same re-releasing gimmicks, nostalgic packaging etc.
When I was purchasing Toys R Us stock someone did buy a load of Star Wars stuff. It is sat in a storage garage.
Charles Myers
Disney didn't get cash from the state to build it, but they, like most of Hollywood, get tax breaks and credits that we don't, so they won't leave and bring their employees and salary taxes to a different state. I recall hearing Disney was mulling the idea of eventually shutting down the LA park for the Florida one, because they had no room to grow in LA, but the state gave the company steep tax breaks to not move it, because it brought in so much tourism cash.
Josiah Garcia
No fucking way they hired that many people for just one park, I don't even think universal hired that many for the harry crapper park. Then again I remember hearing they out source harry potter positions to a different department, a d if you have a british accent its easier to get hired. I'm amusing diseny land did the same kind of shitty deal too.
Ayden White
Michael Cera and teenage romcom movies conditioned an entire generation of men to believe that relentlessly pursuing a single women regardless of resistance or boundary-setting was both effective and socially acceptable.
Nathan Flores
Wow. Wesley Snipes was totally buff and martial arts trained. They're going to reboot with pear-shaped Boyega? The people running Disney must get very powerful orgasms when they lose money.
Luis Morris
Also that, no matter how socially awkward or sociopathic they were, the women they desired would just fall into their laps without any effort on their part.
David Thompson
>No fucking way they hired that many people for just one park, If they gathered everyone from the talent to the people who clean up the discarded turkey legs, it's believable that it's that many people if they all work 8 hour shifts, 40 hours a week, 7 days a week.
Asher Thompson
This feels like a Mars Needs Moms exhibit
Caleb Hall
Disney are using this and the Fox acquisition to cut some fat from the company and avoid the accusations of them becoming a monopoly.
They have spent $1 billion on essentially nothing and "lost" money from recent Fox films like Dark Phoenix.
Jason Moore
That's why this matters. Theme parks are fucking money pits. Disney will have to eat it too because if they shut it down it will damage the franchise even more.
They can't put up OT shit because lucas gets money off that.
Levi Phillips
>they decide to use the dogshit new movies for all visual inspiration. The place that the park is supposed to represent isn't even in the nu-trilogy yet, that's how out of touch they are. Anyone with a brain would have used that 14 acres to have multiple environmental themes from all the films, if only to make the place feel bigger and more varied. Mos Eisly cantina, yoda's house, a few gungan glass bubbles submerged in a pool, some ewok treehouse shit - you could fit all of these things into an incredibly small space and thrill everyone from children who haven't seen the films to mega nerds. But no, they $1,000,000,000 (one billion dollars) making a drab tantooine knockoff the size of a moderately large village, without a single recognizable bit of architecture from the films.
I'm assuming the grounds keepers and cooks were in this too, if that was every employee from every shift it would make sense. But that still seems like way too many paychecks to cover, especially after hearing barely anyone is going now.
James Scott
Toys R Us was just a retailer, they went under because of Amazon and online retailers. The Star Wars toys are a bit more complicated. The toy makers, like Hasbro, buy a license. They can't just make anything they want, they have to have everything approved by Lucas, before going ahead with manufacturing. So, everything that was sold, every bit of it, was approved by someone at Lucasfilm. The toy makers can't sell it, without approval. So everything on the market is intentional. With Star Wars, wether it's toys, or movies, or parks, everything goes back to them approving it, and I'm sure Iger's staff is involved as well. You want to blame someone? Blame them. "Private equity parasites" had nothing to do with it.
Samuel Kelly
I'm pretty fucking sure Knott's is bigger this shit, imagine dropping +$200 for a ticket to basically look around and window shop.
Carter Green
>what could’ve been
Owen Hall
what came after that?
Owen Jenkins
>They can't put up OT shit because lucas gets money off that. I don't think that's true. The pricetag on SW as so high because Lucas was giving up the merchandising rights. That's what made him so rich in the first place. You couldn't shit in a box with a SW logo without Lucas asking for his cut. I think the whole SW debacle began with that $4billion pricetag. Disney didn't realize how little work Lucas actually did in the later years of SW (just agree the EU, toys, legos and video games mattered long as he made money) so when they tried to control everything they weren't prepared for how little the brand would be worth without all that outside interest.
Asher Fisher
Those got marked down to under $100 at the Toys R Us where I worked. Star Wars took a large shit on the company
Because if Kathleen Kennedy and her crew of brainiacs had been in charge of merch back in the 70's, it would have been stacks of Aunt Beru dolls (and not the smoking skeleton version) and no Han Solo toys.
Alexander Flores
toy story 7 leaked
Levi Allen
I think most anons are unaware of how many people are needed to run a business, especially a theme park. You're gonna need a decent sized staff for the ride, alone - people at the gate, safety personel, the guys running the ride in the control room, security watching on cameras for people trying to fuck around, etc. And that's just the ride. Who do you think cooks the Jar Jar steaks, or cleans the kitchen? Hoses down the barf off the sidewalk when a 400 fatty gets heatstroke? The support crew for the character actors? Security? Maintenance? That shit adds up fast. Disneyworld employs 60,000 people, total. 1700 is nothing.
Nolan Barnes
>The stores were starting to get as bad as Sears or K-Mart user. Yeah, I made the comment as a joke because the new Star Wars products are crappy and based on ideas that no one really likes or remembers. I'm pretty sure that private equity scum are 99% responsible for Toys 'R' Us' demise with the remaining 1% being the relatively incompetent management put in place by the PE firm. I remember reading a report that in the 2000s, Toys 'R' Us was using its entire yearly profit, year after year, to service the debt that the PE firm put on the company.
Had it not been for the LBO and the financial shenanigans, Toys 'R' Us would still be in business today although it probably would still be in lousy shape. I was interested in toys and games well into my adulthood but somewhere along the line, everything went to shit and I lost all interest (or I got old). The stuff I see today is all shit made in China and it uses the cheapest, shittiest plastic imaginable. Even board games are made with penny pinching in mind as the boxes are smaller and the boards appear to be smaller, too. Imagine that. Hasbro, which bought out practically every toy and game company not bought out by Mattel, is too cheap to even spend a few extra pennies on cardboard.
