JCC Embrace The FU - Formerly the STAR WARS IS BAD thread

Great find, Darth Punk. I love silent films.

 

When Star Wars fans read the headlines...


Rancor at White House as Russia Story Refuses to Let the Page Turn

 

And here I thought all of those Trump and Jabba the Hutt mashups were forced.

 

Unexpected pleasantry is always nice.

 

As is expected pleasantry.

 

What about unexpected peasantry?

 

If you want to impress me, find the headline that says "Wampa at the White House"

 

It's Summer, you monster. I suppose you love Polar Bear enclosures at the Zoo?

 

Hahaha what a story VVM. Anyway, how is your mod life?

 

I gave you seven months of my life! Why, Internets, why?! Ohwawoaaah...

 

*Casually tosses a football*

 

There's a detailed scale model of Star Wars Land at D23, and here are alot of pictures.

hope I can talk my youngest into going with me opening year. He'll be 15 when this thing launches.

 

I'm not interested in that. Nope. Not at all. Hollywood Studios in Orlando has already dedicated a big part of it to SW and, yeah, the cringe was strong there.

 

I think it's strange that they dedicate a 14-acre multi-million dollar themed area to what must be a planet from some forgotten Rebels episode.

 

They'd probably prefer to split the land between SW and Marvel but...red tape.

 

Well, they recently dedicated a 12 acre multi million dollar themed area to some forgotten film, so....

 

But I mean, if you're going to Star Wars land, you want to be on the Death Star. You want to visit Jabba on Tatooine. You want to walk around on Cloud City.
What you don't want is for them to tell you that there's some generic architecture throughout a whole galaxy, robbing you of the notion that it's a creative enterprise.

 

And they have a reason for that:

"Together, the team decided to set the lands on a new planet, located withinthe Outer Rim of the Unknown Regions.[11]Described as a "remote frontier outpost", the unnamed planet has not previously appeared in other media, although it has existed withincanon"for thousands and thousands of years."[12][11]The team chose to create a newly designed world instead of using an existing planet from the films such asTatooineorHoth, because those locations evoked a pre-existing familiarity with guests, with Trowbridge explaining, "We wanted to build newStar Warsstories, newStar Warsdestinations, but this time you could be in that story that required us to go to a new place."

This used to be a vibrant trading port back in the old sub-lightspeed days, but now with advent of hyperspace, its prominence has kind of fallen and faded a little bit which has made it a great spot for those who didn't want to be on that kind of mainstream path. The smugglers, the bounty hunters, the rogue adventurers looking to crew up, the people who don't want to be found — basically all the interesting people.​

​

The development team drew inspiration from real-world locations, including as Istanbul and Morocco, and traveled there to study the architecture, culture, and weather.[13] The team also cited Ralph McQuarrie's concept art for the original Star Wars trilogy as a basis for the aesthetic look of the land.[13] The timeline is set after the events of Return of the Jedi, in the years leading up to the sequel trilogy, and will depict the rising presence of both the First Order and the Resistance.[10][12] The Star Wars-themed land will have two new attractions: one will allow riders to control the Millennium Falcon, and the other will place guests into the middle of a battle between the First Order and the Resistance.[14][15]Concept art depicts a full-size Millennium Falcon situated among alien buildings built into tall cliffs.[14] There will also be a version of a cantina.[16] The new planet is designed for guests to begin their own narrative. The Millennium Falcon attraction will feature a "customized secret mission".[17]


Which makes sense, but the proof will be in actual feel of it when you're there.

 

You don't approve of the Nabooine school of architecture?

 

The Commerce and Trade school on Neimoidia would be the most exciting of all.

All those talks and lectures on how to make more credits and build your portfolio would be awesome!
