    Politely escorting them out but could be mistaken.

    Plan B: Bring a Jawa cloak, put your sensor gizmo tracking you onto a droid and then sit outside the Cantina. They’ll never know!

    I see Rey's taking the old Jedi Order's approach of recruiting toddlers to her cause. :eek: At least Kylo recruits adults. :kylo:

    EDIT: I forgot about FN-2187, never mind. :nttrooper:

    So for anyone who went to Galaxys Edge me and @vncredleader wanna know if there were any Canon nods also when is Rise of Resistance opening again. I remember someone saying August but I can't find out that info yet.

    Also I've posted various pictures of things IN Galaxys Edge, which I'll consolidate here







    A blue X-Wing



    Kylo is called Supreme Leader, so that's a Canon thing



    Oh and Vi from Phasma

    There isn't any confirmation on an opening date. I'm a frequent visitor to a Disney forum as it usually has reliable inside information. In this case, two people who often have good info I've seen pan out are split. One says August/September, one says even later than that.

    August 29th is the Orlando opening and I assume that both rides will be open in that park so I'd assume Rise of the Resistance will be open on or before that date in Anaheim.

    ***

    So whatever "day" is being represented at Batuu, we know Chewy is there, this new character Vi who doesn't appear in TROS, but has her own book, Kylo Ren, and possibly Rey based on the tweet above? So with all these potential major players, I guess it makes sense why they're being so hush hush about it.

    The rule or wanting to be allowed to protest on behalf of the Banking Clan while dressed as Barriss?

    Loving what I'm reading about the cast members's backstories, personal accessibility of the actors playing Vi, Rey, etc.... all of that. I mean, I love the idea of Vi being there at all, much less that recruitment sketch (which genuinely kinda gets me in the feels) much less, hey, Vi will take you aside and go over your mission personally? I mean, that's cool.

    Simultaneously a little disappointed at the lack of alien and droid cast members from what I've seen. In fairness, I get that that's a challenge. But at the same time, all of very earliest promo art we saw for GE had random Mon Cals and Rodians and Astromechs just hanging out with the guests, so it's not my fault I expected that!

    Some of that is likely to be happening at the hotel in Orlando when it opens.

    Good casting.

    Also, I do like that she's wearing her TLJ outfit as opposed to her TFA outfit that she seems to go back to for TROS for some reason. Bury the TLJ outfit. Kill it if you have to.

    Okay this is the best GE merch. I’ve wanted customizable rank badges forever.

    Ignore the potential errors on the chart in back. It’s too cool to fuss over.

    One account I read had a cast member approach the family first, gently letting them know that they should be moving along before the First Order starts enforcing curfew.

    The First Order is anti-family and anti-small business! Boooo! Down with the FO!

    Blue milk, ronto wraps, and the Tatooine Sunset drink all tasted great. I wonder if blue milk is actually dairy. It tasted more like a blue lemonade frozen drink but apparently someone online who had lactose tolerance problems reacted to it.

    There's also a full dejarik board game (8 piece variant) with rules and figurines and board. I was really tempted to get it, but ultimately decided not to since I wouldn't really have anyone to play with. As of now I think Galaxy's Edge is the only place to get this board game.

    EU Star Wars really wasn't good at producing in-universe board games, aside from the obscure West End games' Sabacc (which Steve Sansweet didn't even know about until a fan inform him). I've had a lot of disagreements with how Disney handled many things, but they've created Corellian Spike Sabacc and now actual Dejarik rules. And of course the amazing Galaxy's Edge experience I was fortunate to visit yesterday.

    Sidv88, Disney-era SW's greatest critic of those who haven't quit the Lit boards, is one of the first to visit Galaxy's Edge.

    Seriously folks, we've got to get our game on. This is embarrassing. We're the section of the board known for going to bizarre lengths just to find some ersatz Turkish book cover or accurately source some obscure 80s RPG cooking utensil on the Wook. How is it we're not lining up for this yet?!?

    But dude finding practically all but nonexistent info does not require what SWGE does.........interacting with actual people!!!! Honestly though, part of me is waiting to give some time for the analysis of how Disney is treating their employees there. If their past is any indication, this could be a travesty of workers rights, built on our fandom. That scares me, like how much as I am glad the X-men and the like are with Marvel Studios now, I can't help but have that underlying want to not partake due to the number of firings in these purchases, and the total monopoly........Though maybe I am just coming up with excuses for my own anxiety about travel and big public venues.
