    Oh THAT'S going to be a VERY interesting meeting for sure!!! With GE not living up to potential, TROS doing well but far below expectations, and merchandise pretty much disappearing, I'm SURE the shareholders will be very curious as to what Iger has to say!!!

    Announcements about the future? Shareholders will want that but I'm not so sure Iger will be ready to dive deep into it.

    Can we stop saying that GE is not living up to potential? It is not true. All these stories happened before the main ride was open.

    Many many visitors say it is possibly the best ride in the park.

    January 19, 2020, 2:33 PM · Want to get on Disneyland's new Star Wars: Rise of the Resistance ride? You'd better get up early. And you'd better get lucky, too.

    Disneyland is using what it is calling a virtual queue system to manage the crowd for Rise of the Resistance. Park guests must use the official Disneyland app to enter the queue, where they will be assigned a "boarding group" number that will be called via an app notification later in the day.

    Guests must be inside the park to join the virtual queue, which opens at the park's published opening time. But guests are slamming the app as soon as the queue opens, resulting in all of the day's boarding groups being claimed within minutes. And it's getting worse each day. This morning, all the groups were gone for the day within just two minutes.

    GE doesnt live up to potential and LF/Disney expectations. You need to be very well on that Disney pill to ignore its problems with popularity.

    I love how the picture you painted so obviously and conveniently left out “The Mandalorian being the #1 TV show in the WORLD.”

    The self awareness is not so strong with this one. See above. I think the “Disney hate pill” is a much more potent distorter of reality.

    I do like the idea of a mission where nobody returned.

    I mean, we got that from Rogue One. That's a one-sentence summary of the whole film, really.

    Which part of the following sentence is not clear: "guests are slamming the app as soon as the queue opens, resulting in all of the day's boarding groups being claimed within minutes. And it's getting worse each day. This morning, all the groups were gone for the day within just two minutes."

    This info is from yesterday and comes from Theme Park Insider. I wonder who will I trust, random person on internet saying it does not live up to potential, or facts by actual people going to the actual park reporting that the actual queues are so extreme that all groups are gone for the day within two minutes.

    So yes, it has a problem with popularity: way too much popularity.

    Unfortunately confirmation bias is becoming a massive problem in society.

    Well, yeah, true, but I was actually interpreting it as reverse.

    In times of peace, a group of Jedi (or Republic) explores an unknown region. They never return and are never heard from. This is what triggers the Jedi decision to find out what happens to them, leading them to the UR's looking for those who were lost, and ends up getting them into a trap.

    I could certainly see Waititi being the director of whatever Feige is working on. It better fits with his schedule than the 2022 film would and there's obviously a working relationship already between him and Feige. Makes perfect sense.

    Disney historian Jim Hill says he’s heard the actor MCU actor that Kevin Feige reached out to is Samuel L Jackson. Apparently Feige’s movie will follow Ahsoka Tano. Jim Hill also said Feige plans to cast Brie Larson as Ahsoka. These are the rumblings he’s heard from within Marvel Studios. It could also be the reason the Kenobi show was cancelled. They may need Ewan for this instead.

    So Brie Larson, 31, will play 15 year old Ahsoka. Yeah, I call BS on that. And the rest of that rumour too.

    But, but, but...Disney historian Jim Hill said so!

    Unless historians are better at describing past events vs. current ones, I’ve gotta go with the indomitable Jim Hill on this one.

    The Kenobi show has been put on indefinite hold according to Collider. The crew was sent home.

    The Collider isn't typically reliable but The Hollywood Reported confirmed it.

    Ewan doesn't counter that the writer's been canned and there's been an altered production approach, though. It's not one or the other. Sounds like the reports are semi-accurate, they just overstepped with the "sidelined indefinitely" stuff. It's still happening, but shooting later than announced, and the writer's been curbstomped.

    I get it. If I was a crew member, I would be there until yesterday. Now Disney suddenly sends me home.

    Must be great to be a successful producer under the Disney umbrella. If Feige wanted to challenge himself with diverse projects, he could dabble between Disney animation, live action, Star Wars, and Marvel.
