There are already LARP retreats for this kind of thing and they allow you to sword fight or have laser tag shooting matches and stuff.

I remember when they first announced Galaxy's Edge for Disneyland they talked about this land wide war attraction that would run every couple of hours or so, where you would rent laser tag gear and run around the land shooting imperjals/resistance depending on which side you picked, and the winning side each hour would get a special prize (which would have likely been a tiny metal button at most lol) . They even showed off these neat computerized banners so they could convert the whole area to the winning side for a time, and talked about how they'd change whether stormtroopers or resistance fighters were walking the streets in costume.

Almost all of these ideas got scrapped explicitly because someone saw them and thought it'd be a great idea for a hotel. Though not even then did those ideas survive to the same forms, since the Starcruiser made all sides equal and none could Lose even temporarily.

True, but that's a big difference between being a Disney Adult and being like a Ren Faire nerd or a metalhead, where you get involved with a local scene of like-minded people if there is one. Disney Adults mostly just consume stuff.

And if I’m paying 5 grand I want that option dammnit

There actually used to be a sort of laser tag VR game at Disney that seems like it could really easily fit the bill. The company went out of business, but the idea of "Star Wars holodeck" is a pretty good one.

Hell, at least thanks to Clone Wars nostalgia you'll probably get more Ashoka fans than Rey fans. And she at least has an actual arc and logical justifications for who she is and why she does what she does.

It's really lol how much the sequels are a complete creative dead end, and I think deep down Disney knows it.


I don't think they do, the sequels made them huge profits and the tv shows seem to be more of the same sort of stuff. Disney's not gonna panic like WB over some bad reviews or even a couple of flops. Like I hope they're stupid enough to keep oversaturating the star wars until it's unprofitable but I think they've already shown they'll just adjust and slow down the release schedule.

While it's incredibly frustrating that the sequels seem determined not to say anything about their context or setting besides "wow look, these sure are more Star Wars," I actually think that leaves a great opportunity for the right writer(s) at some point down the line. There's this huge gap, we know basically how it ends, and no one seems to care what happened in the middle because then you have to think about the sequels. You could throw anything in there.

Dream project to explore this period: a Veep-style satire following Mon Mothma as she tries to claw leadership of the New Republic away from Leia for increasingly spiteful reasons while failing to deal with escalating crisises like Hutt venereal disease epidemic, massive jizz wailer protests, extradimensional invasions, etc.

A Cloud City casino and hotel built around Lando, where Billy Dee has a Las Vegas-style residency where he half-heartedly sings some old lounge music once a day and charms the oldest woman in the crowd, is the only possible version of this I'd be interested in.

The thing is:

This isn’t what they wanted. Yes the movies made huge profits, but the idea was “Make movies which will drive merchandise, park, tv, and future movie sales”

what they got was “Movies that made huge profits (which diminished hugely between films) while completely destroying the fan base, killing all interest in offshoot projects, parks, merchandise and movies”.

They cooked and ate the golden goose instead of letting it lay eggs.

It wasn't a total disaster but it definitely wasn't what Disney wanted or expected. The sequel trilogy should have had Avengers-style momentum, and Rise of Skywalker should have gone over like Endgame, not met the lowest end of projected profits and a Game of Thrones style total crash in interest. There's a reason they ended up having to go all in on the little spinoff shows made by some leftover cartoon guys working with prequel-based EU stuff Disney only didn't Legends-ify because Lucas gave his nod. (and even then, see the joke that the spinoffs only get to be good when Disney's c-suite is distracted ruining something else)

They've been basically in damage control, and just because it's been successful doesn't mean there hasn't been damage. Like Game of Thrones, they've retreated to prequel material that doesn't have to acknowledge how things ended up. There's no big movies, no Episode X to take advantage of how people have flocked back to the theatres, just all interquels where no one so much as mentions the First Order, Resistance or Snoke.
