What's wrong with you? You don't even have your beer goggles on!!
I found a CD with "shareware multimedia collection" from 1995 and it turns out the Jedi temple in AOTC was based on some 90s stock 3D art. Who knew!

When he said "40 years of (Star Wars) film behind us and hopefully 40 years of film ahead of us" I got a little depressed.

40 years worth of new Star Wars movies. I'll be long dead and they'll still be making these drat things.

I hate Star Wars but I love Disneyland, have they said anything on what the rides would be? I don't want some Star Tours bullshit where you are basically just watching a screen which they can continually update to whatever movie is out, nor do I want some glorified video game bullshit

I want a brick-and-mortar roller coaster!!!

How old are you that you are expecting to be long dead in 40 years?

There are reportedly two major attractions, one where you personally pilot the Falcon (so basically glorified video game bullshit) and the other, what sounds like a dark ride in which you're caught in the middle of a fight between the First Order and Resistance. Sounds like it may be a bit more than that given how they're hyping up how "innovative" it is.

Here's the ride vehicle for the latter one:

I'm amused by the thought of theatre goer in the 1930s going "40 years they're still going to be making these Mummy movies and I'll be dead."

Late 30s. Honestly, growing up I was sure I'd be dead by my early 20s, so this is all just borrowed time to me.

Shits real when you grow up a minority in the city. I get ulcers thinking about my brothers and cousins still out on those streets.

This makes me think it's going to be similar to the Mission: SPACE ride at Epcot but there's no way they'd do something that cool.

That one puts you in an actual centrifuge. Basically it's video game poo poo like Star Tours except a much smaller amount of people per "ship" and you each have some control thing the ride asks you to input at different times. The awesome thing though is that it spins at up to 2.5 Gs and all of the video game stuff and that is synchronized so well, like it's impossible not to feel it. Star Tours is goofy but a Star Wars themed Mission: SPACE kind of thing would be amazing.

Yet where is that woman now? Tell me, in what heave does she reside? None of them. Because no God bothered to listen or care. If that is what you think it means to be a God, then you and all your teachings are welcome to do as that poor women did. And vanish from these realms forever.

I'm wondering if they actually made it different and are responding to the complaint about Force awakens being too safe or if it's just marketing speech. I really hope they actually are making this different and unexpected. I like force awakens but it did follow bit of the familiar formula and I know why they did that but they don't need to do it twice.

I don't think they're saying that that's good or bad, just that what we have here is a striking single image. There'll absolutely be a more typical Star Wars poster out closer to the movie's release and people/that account will love it too because it's Star Wars.

Collage poster is perfectly fine if it's actually painted, which it probably won't be.

I say the unspoken "." is the real MVP. Otherwise, the title would never end.

I liked that poster more when I thought there was only the one version with Luke, because "The Last Jedi" was describing him.

my guess is its gonna be like some 10 mintue haunted mansion like deal, where you go around in those little carts and watch either anamatronics or people in suits kill each other while the robot screams and says comedy stuff. i am ok with this.

Ideally the actually story will be absolutely a new thing, with set dressing like "a battle against walkers over a rolling white surface" will just be the "rhyming" necessity set dressing
