Terrible news. They need to convert Galaxy’s Edge to Tatooine. This news is a waste of time. No one will buy the books and read the stories and somehow attach this story to the boring Batuu that wasn’t featured in The Last Jedi or Rise of Skywalker. They had their chance and missed it big time.
tatoonie is up front by star tours batuu is so others can live out star wars forever! You do not like it do not go! Theres plenty of us that love batuu esp us that live there aka are cms!
That makes no sense. Who are the others that need Batuu to like Star Wars? It’s no wonder CMs like it. Their jobs depend on it, but learn to like the customers for a change.
tim your rude and telling me not to do my job is a good laugh! And thats why i bet you are not a real disney fan like most people here you come to complain and act like your right everyone else is wrong!!! Batuu is the rush for dl to reopen and why dhs doesnt have an open day for months… so truly your the only one whom doesnt care!
That’s cool if you like it. I’m a huge Disney Fan. I’m a passport holder, stock holder. D23 member etc. For me, Star Wars land was a huge disappointment. We have 4 generations in our family. If you ask them who they think of when they think of Star Wars. It’s Darth Vader, Luke, Han, Yoda, C3PO, R2D2, Boba Fett. None of these characters are there. And it’s in a land that’s not in any movies. People want to visit the places they see in these movies. And interact with those Characters. Disney did a great job with Avatar, Guardians of the Galaxy, Cars Land. For some reason Disney decided not to do this with this new park. I just don’t get it.
Ditto on all your points and absolutely agree GE was a huge Huge HUGE dissapointment that felt more like an empty dystopian shopping mall than Star Wars. Such a waste.
TIm–you’re on a fanboy blog. What else are you going to expect in responses 🙂 !
Miss opportunity? Yes. Can they make up for it? Sure. Back filling with kids story products is a good idea to grab the next generation of payers. Though personally I don’t care. The land is high of detail but a bit average: Star Wars isn’t about easter eggs and hidden details/”nods”, that’s Marvel land. Instead it’s about “the possibilities” and….*hope* (aka do the right thing), which is what the land missed.
Right now, anything NOT connected to Last Jedi or Skywalker has a chance to survive with a bit of general fan shelf-life–
Imagine if they had planned a Canto Bight Casino restaurant, just before TLJ came out…
Love the news and please do not ever change it to Tatooine, people need to grow up someday. Although I would prefer a Disney plus show that features Batuu, I will happily read the books as I look forward to making it back to Galaxy’s Edge someday.
For all those angry peeps complaining, Batuu is totally canon!!! It got MENTIONED ONE TIME… to repeat… MENTIONED!!!! ONE!!! TIME!!! in PASSING for LESS THAN A SECOND as AN ASIDE on Mandalorian, so that makes it AMAZING and AWESOME, so all the haters and can just take their hate and remember that makes it AN IMPORTANT and SOLID part of STAR WARS worthy of an entire land!!!!
Oh yeah, and they stuck obscure EASTER EGGS that nobody understood or knew existed in Batuu-Land until they told us about them so that makes it even more SUPER-TACTULAR!
If you still don’t understand, go read the made-up history book that they sell NOT IN BATUU, DISNEY, where the land actually is… but at TARGET!!!!! That’s right, don’t go to the source… go to an ancillary retailer so you can BUY some understanding!! Sheesh, haters.
They should have made it Ord Mantell, since Ord Mantell has a long history in Star Wars canon, all the way back to Empire Strikes Back (“That bounty hunter we ran into back on Ord Mantell changed my mind!”) as well as the Shadows of the Empire video game, where Ord Mantell serves as the boss stage for IG-88D.
And I won’t be buying/reading the books, which are nothing more than Disney’s attempt to make their failed GE/Batue seem important, when instead it is a total miss.
Yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaayyyyy, how exciting that I get to buy something to better understand a land in Disneyland. Just like how we all did that for Adventureland, and Frontierland…wait…
Hey Trowbridge how about bringing the employees back instead of patting yourself on the back. Scott you wouldn’t be where you are today without all us worker bees.
The only news I want out of Galaxy’s Edge is that they are scrubbing the entire sequel trilogy atmosphere of it and remaking it to the classic movies.
Batuu can stay, but jettison Kylo Ren and his Nike-Troopers and put in Darth Vader and the classic stormies. Nobody even likes Kylo Ren except for emo teenage fangirls.
It wouldn’t be hard to do at all; Smuggler’s Run would be virtually the same aside from minor script change, and “Rise of the Resistance” could be easily converted into “Escape from the Death Star” where you are captured by a DS tractor beam and chased down by Vader, akin to the last few minutes of Rogue One where Vader is hacking and slashing his way through Princess Leia’s rebel spies.
Smugglers run tech hits home for the rebels fans and if they could i rework the new ride around vi’s story theres a whole book of info yes is a gap of the new movies but shes not reys spy etc shes leias and was for a long time! And considering they created Vi just for batuu it would have been nice she got the ride unlike the mess that doesnt wrk now! I agree love batuu but the surrounding world could change i would take rebels, ashoka walk about chillin w Vi or even Sabine or madelorian folks even over the new folks though if JJ gets his way and we get to see the real Rise and not the disney water down tunes might change… remember batuu in is in between the last 2 movies not just TLJ and only the porgs came out of that trash right …. though Rise was a good movie if it stood alone but comparing it to everything else… you could take out rey is granddaughter plot hole and have such a great movie but NO!
Instead of creating new rides and activities in Batuu which is the job of imagineers, they produce more junk souvenirs so they can fool the people into supporting the billions of dollars in lost revenue. The CM’s in Batuu are salespeople not entertainers.
Not really excited about this cutting news, some new merchandise and stuff about the hotel we already know. We bill more excited when they announce something a bit bigger for the area.
I love batuu i feel at home here then i ever did at star wars anything (unless i am working dhs and security issues arise w rise still on virtual that happens alot) but if we are going to understand batuu then make it about batuu NOT the movies it figures into! Or if your going to use the movies use em proper… Let me elaborate…
You create stories use em! Vi’s got friends (spoiler alert: most of whom join the resistance), each one of those shops has an owner we should see em and be able to interact w em every so often (ie. savi could do a mini show about lightsabers and crystal lore so its not just a $200 money maker for disney use the character), for the dark siders Oga has goons and other folks from the 1st order besides every goth girls fantasy ren… Lets see em people! Sadly these stories/books have so much to stand on and potential disney missed the boat in adding it all in! Forgetting the I love the internet generation and whats a book and reading is gross not fundamental is in…
No offense but disney should be thinking of you too and saying let’s visualize the books for folks! You came to batuu lets full put you on batuu! Also its suppose to be a spaceport why not have characters from madelorian or rebels etc stop by???
AND if i may jump to timeline… Why is it just ren and rey!!!?? What is poe and finn not good enough to be walk abouts (you never hire actors that honestly 100% look like em anyways)??? Poe is in the dame ride I mean honestly… Wake up people!!! Yes i know in the mist of covid characters are a no go but i am saying even before this it could have been done! Can i say one last thing its so refreshing to see Vi bc she doesnt have a movie counterpart. The ladies that play her not only have her down but they are sweethearts that love there jobs!
