Ben Burtt has an excellent ear for coming across random sounds. He's got a bunch of anecdotes like "There were some guys fixing a pothole outside the office with a rock stuck in the hose of their air hammer. I thought it sounded musical so I grabbed my recorder before they could fix it, and that's how I found the sound of the speeder bike gear shift" or "so I was at a photo store in San Anselmo and there was this old woman buying film. I thought she sounded like a hosed up alien so I asked her if she wanted to play ET."

Only a quarter of the way though that video (drat) but really enjoying it so far. It really is a shame that Disney never successfully communicated just what the Star cruiser was. I had assumed, like many others that it was just a expensive themed hotel. I dig the idea of an immersive theatre hotel, and would have loved to do it one day with my family. It feels like an idea ahead of its time, with some extreme ambition. Of course, with corporate realities, it could have never succeeded the way it would have needed to justify the expenditure when it's so much easier to funnel people through automated rides and gift shops. I'm sure there's an original pitch there that is amazing, that got whittled down as more and more realities and politics got in the way. But the fact they still tried it at all is awesome.

I live in Orlando, at the time of launch had Disney annual passes, have (some) disposable income, and am a massive Star Wars fan. I check all the boxes for who they should have directly been marketing that hotel towards. I should have been an easy mark. But I noped out the moment I saw the price. They never showed me anything that justified paying that insane price, and the video is backing that up. I also can’t believe she had that obstructed view for the dinner shows. All that money, and she couldn’t see one of the selling features. Crazy.

They apparently can't do anything with it too maintain a tax write-off so i think it will sit there until whenever that clears and then it will be changed into something else.

Someone should do an anthology post-apocalpyse movie exclusively shot in abandoned American malls, Galaxy's Edge would be the final episode.

Ok I finally watched Andor and everyone was right. It's excellent. Just superb TV. The people who said "It's not Star Wars" were also right. The tone & subject matter were not anything found in the original movies. It was a good story using the setting. But I feel that if you were to think about it all happening in one canonical universe it would make the originals less enjoyable. Like, knowing about all the drudgery, misery and enslavement isn't fun and would really deflate e.g. the original trilogy stories. But as its own thing its great.

Slavery is a huge theme from like the first Lucas movie in 1977. Or was it 1976

To me the stuff in Andor was qualitatively different. He spent multiple episodes in a semi automated torture prison. That's a bit different from the setting details in the OT. I'm not saying that you can't extrapolate from the originals to get Andor. More that it's another level of unpleasantness beyond what the OT had. There were times when Andor is pretty uncomfortable to watch and that I think is the difference to me.

I think it's a fair point. With Peter Cushin you get like a high management entry into the horrors of fascism and whatnot, consisting of a British guy talking Britishly. And you get Vader being an enigmatic attack dog, what's not to love? Andor had a lot of relatable assholes working their asses off to be more effectively fascist on a much more personal level. You had your resistance hero actively resisting any resistance activity and the driving forces behind the resistance delivering an amazing monologue on how resistance sucks the soul out of you and demands personal sacrifice.

"Both things have torture/suffering" is pretty silly, there are such things as tone and narrative language. Goldfinger and Misery both feature torture scenes, that doesn't mean they feel the same to watch.

I guess in the movies you see the fascism, but in Andor you really feel the fascism. In 1-3 you see it’s creation and in 4-6 you see it as a kind of intrusive foreign entity. In Andor you see it’s maintenance, you see it as a way of life. You’re inside the Fascism.
