You don't have Star Wars without Han, Liea, Luke, Ahsoka, the 501st, Anakin / Vader, Kenobi, Qui-gon, no ALIENS!!!! Where are the Twileks, Bounty Hunters, Bothans, Calimar, Quodans, Rodians, or Wookies...
Thank Bob Chapek for that, he cut most of that a year ago because it was “Too Expensive”
@@pinhead35 what??? 0.o
Wait he cut what??
Michael Jae he cut roaming droids that interact with guests, bounty hunters, about 10-20 more storm troopers roaming the land, and just most of the life that would make this land something different
Yeah I remember them advertising all kinds of characters, droids, and different species roaming around.
This is a PERFECT example of what happens when they believe "Disney knows best." and not their fans/customers. Hopefully this is a wake up call & reality check for them.
What do you expect from a company that actively rejects all outside suggestions or ideas
Yep, unfortunately you're exactly right and I'm hoping this is one of the biggest hits they can take before they open ear and listen to the fans
@@MichaelJaeYT negative. They will blame the fans and double-down.
They threw George lucas's script for the sequels in the garbage. What do you expect from these hacks.
@TurboCMinusMinus I don't think this has any political lean really. Just dumb CEOs and execs who only care about money being dumb CEOs and execs who only care about money.
Thats what they get for turning down my Robocop-Land idea.
I'd buy that for a dollar....or two.
just go to Detroit
We need a ride where Anakin complains about sand for 3 hours, I'd pay $120.00 for that.
But its coarse rough irritating and gets everywhere
oh totally i would pay 1000$ for that
I would rob a bank for that
Shut up and take my soul
The King of Vegas I’d have to say same tbh.Sand is just soooo rough, irritating, and gets everywhere.
4:25 Actually Jakku is just off-brand Tatooine. Meaning if Batuu is off brand Jakku then it’s actually Off-Brand Off Brand Tatooine
Wow, you actually hit the nail on the head 😂
I came here to make this exact comment.
It’s like as if it’s an Indian Chinese Knockoff
Friendshipismagic Batuu isn’t an off brand Jakku
When you come right down to it, Tatooine is just off-brand Arrakis.
I'll be honest, for the past couple of years, I've gotten the sense that Disney is approaching Star Wars when the mindset of "It doesn't matter what we do, people will buy it anyway."
This is the result of that mindset taken too far.
YES 100% thats the vibe I get too
I think the Prequels proved that a long time ago. The writing’s been on the wall, we’re just seeing it now because this generation is more vocal.
I had a vision of a world without star wars.
You nailed it! That is the big lesson to learn from all of this. Bob Iger and Disney thought they could slap "Star Wars" on a jar of mayo, film that for 2 hrs, and we would all wait in line to see it opening night. And then come back for the sequels. They completely underestimated how much energy, time, thought, creativeness, innovation, love, care, and detail George Lucas put into Star Wars. And that is why Star Wars was always so great. But this is Disney, quality is last on the list now. "Star Wars fatigue" my ass, Marvel pumped out 22 movies and the final film broke the box office records. ...The only thing people got fatigued from was s**t ass story writing.
@@henrycaspersen1495 I've heard some people say that this is all a misunderstanding and that once the block is lifted and the Florida park opens, it will be a success "because it's Star Wars."
And you know what, that might be true. Maybe it will get more attendance. But will it be able to hold it? "Because it's Star Wars" doesn't seem to have the weight it once did. There is so much entertainment nowadays, and on different platforms, and for a younger generation that's growing up with Star Wars as a more constant presence in theaters that to them, it might come off as just another franchise. That's one possibilily I feel is very likely.
And the prices. There is a limit that even a die hard fan will say "no, I am not paying that."
I feel like Disney made Star Wars feel too commercialized. I know it's always been a franchise to make money but it's never felt that way
They made it feel too safe into much like a quick cash grab, I don't like it
bingo..not organic anymore
You're kidding, right? Let me get this straight--you think that Disney has made the most commercialized sci-fi franchise of all time TOO commercialized? Seriously? The Star Wars franchise has ALWAYS been a cash grab. It's the poster child and figurehead for cash grabs, for God's sake.
Technically all movies are made to make money, All movies need to tie the line between profitable products and works of art.
yes it has. There was never a shortage of star wars merch everywhere.
Remember that almost all of the anualpass holders have been blacked out of park admision for the next few months. They account for over a million locals. That is why the land is empty.
It's awesome they are blacked out, Annual passes are the reason why Disneyland is packed every day.
Yeah, it didn't flop at all, the Disney hate has made people delusional, I guarantee its already made its money back and AP holders aren't even allowed in yet.
Also keep in mind all the people who avoided planning trips during this time because they were worried about big crowds. Or all the people who decided to wait till Rise of the Resistance opens before visiting. Or that for most of the time SWGE has been open, crowds were controlled and intentionally kept small through the reservation system. I feel like they are ignoring important facts to prove a point. Also don't know what he means about not feeling like you're in star wars. I 100% did. Even though you aren't on a planet you recognize from the movies, things are still familiar, and the way the CM's talk to you immerse you in the idea that you are on this new planet.
Good thing I'm not an annual pass holder anymore
Ashley Crowell I’m sorry for your loss
If they had made it Jabba's palace, or cloud city, or even Nabo city it would have had far more interest.
Timeshark EXACTLY!!!
Yes right! Even one of the Less popular planets would've been better than a made up one
The hotel should be cloud city! The park, Tatooine. Lord knows it's hot enough...
_Or hell, make it the inside of a Mon Calamari cruiser or a Star Destroyer._
@camaro rider
Strip Club with TwiLeks
Disney needs to fire the marketing people. Yup, he saids it .."An expensive mall"
That's literally what it is SMH
That's exactly what it is.
So are most of the lands in Disneyland. Including Main Street. What’s your point?
Every single land at Disneyland has stores lol, and galaxies edge will open with another ride that's supposed to be the most advanced Disney has done.
Giovanny Cruz - It seems like the people complaining about Galaxy’s Edge are people who have little to no knowledge about the Disney Parks.
Imagine if they made a giant Death Star you can walk into
And this came out of my head but families can be a group like Luke, Leia, Han, and chewie, and fight your way out of the death star
They should make it like an escape room, and the Death Star fires if you don't escape within... say, thirty minutes. If you do escape, the battle station blows up
So basicly, its an expensive mall, no familiar things to see, and so far one ride, eventually 2. No wonder no one goes there. There aint anything to do unless you spend 200-600 bucks on craps like light sabers, building a droid, or just eating.
Give me a Lord of the rings park instead.
Exactly, and on top of it all they want you to spend top dollar to go there
skalmaa That’s an exaggeration. Star Wars fans that don't get to go are really salty. There are familiar things to see, for God’s sake you can pilot the Falcon! Also, it’s not that no one goes there. It’s that a good percentage of people are pass holders, and to assist with the crowds, Disney has blacked out every date for pass holders for a while. Also, ticket prices are at peak season, meaning they are extra expensive. Once it’s September and pass holders can go and tickets are less expensive, then everyone’s gonna be going. Also I was there an had tons of fun. It’s not just a mall. Smugglers Run feels like 3 different rides because each role (pilot, gunner, and engineer) feels so different! I went on Smugglers Run five times and even discovered a secret level. There is so much fun to be had there!
"No familiar things" yeah right. If there's nothing familiar to you then you don't know Star Wars. There's tons of familiar things, tons of easter eggs that only a fan would notice. I quite enjoyed that this was a new planet. It felt familiar, but was also new and unique and it was fun exploring a place I didn't already know.
@@joeyoutube3961 Yeah but after you piloted the Falcon, built youre light saber if you can afford that. Customise a droid. Drinkt the "bantha milk" What else is there to do? There is like nothing except that. , Its just a damn shopping mall with a star wars theme.
That Harry potter Theme at Universal have more stuff to do than this Place .
If this Place where focusing more on the actual Movies instead of merchendise, it would prob be good like the HP shit.
skalmaa their lightsabers are extremely good for the price.
Do you think Universal would have created "Fantastic Beast" land instead of a Harry Potter land? I think not!
Exactly! Especially before it came out or was ever in any movies!
WELL SAID 👏🏼
The difference is that Fantastic Beasts was a prequel, so if you set the park during the Harry Potter series, you can still include stuff from fantastic beasts. Almost like how setting a park during the sequels means you can include the prequels and the originals. (Also, Harry Potter hadn't even finished when the park opened, which is why it wasn't set during Fantastic Beasts).
Uh have you seen the new Jurassic world stuff?
@@lastraven8575 Good point. Although that is an update to a 20+ year old ride.
Look up pictures of a fan-made concept called "Lucas World". When Disney announced they were making a Star Wars themed park, THAT is what i imagined it would look like. Not this off-brand Jakku flop that they built so people would like the sequels more.
Omg I saw that on reddit, I almost wanted to make a video out of it
Disney never once claimed to build a themed park. They claimed to build a themed land which is a subsection of a larger park. I think a lot of the disdapointment is people hearing what they want to hear, expecting a whole theme park and receiving a subsection of a theme park.
@@nickg5704 I know they never claimed to be building a whole new park, but I just feel that there was wasted potential for something grander.
Also, Disneyland has no room for a third theme park. They’re literally in the middle of a large city.
Lucas world looks waaaaay better
So disney continues to ruin the star wars name in hopes of ripping people off with their version of everything because they seem to hate the fact that we enjoyed movies back when they were good and actually had effort put into them.
They need to do what Battlefront 2 (2017) has done: mix up the eras a bit. In Battlefront 2 you can play as Sequel, Prequel, and OT characters, all across those three eras. Yeah it’s not as immersive, but it’s super fun and really makes the game feel like Star Wars (when it works).
When you play as a clone and see Anakin barge past you into oncoming fire you can’t help but get excited, and when you play as Vader and come across that same Anakin it can be awesome to duel him and determine who is greater. The game is not exactly in an excellent place due to bugs but goddamn if I don’t feel like I’m part of the Star Wars universe.
There isn’t anything bad about trying to get people excited about the sequels, but Disney has to remember that older fans would seriously prefer the original trilogy or even the prequels when visiting a Star Wars park. The issue a lot of people had with Battlefront was that it only focused on one third of the Star Wars films, something that its sequel has started gaining heat for with over a year of prequel content, and the same thing is happening with Galaxy’s Edge. They’re focusing too much on just one part of the enormous franchise that is Star Wars
Yes exactly, we don't mind mixing arrows that's kind of fun, I wish they would open their mind to things like this that seems so simple but makes such a big difference
Star Wars land should have been in the original the timeline. Give us Darth Maul, Vader, stormtroopers...
Get rid of this first order crap.
And lower the prices a bit down!
Charles Jensen NO one likes the FO like no one
Disneyland the most dangerous place on Earth, where customers get to fight each other for entertainment after they get mind numbing propaganda from Disney ! Kids entering Disneyland get to be molested by paedophilic Disney guards and if the parents protest they get to spend time at Disney jail, the unhappiest place on Earth ! Disney no longer makes entertainment but 2 hours of mind numbing propaganda that they call a movie ! And if that Disney movie fails, Disney will Disney it that movie ! Disney it = buying empty movie theatre tickets to boost movie ticket sales ! Disney the Enron of Hollywood !
Not prequel stuff. God no.
Disney Takes Huge Dix What?
one ride? $10 soda? $20 sandwich? no prequel trilogy representation? yeah thats a no from me dawg
"$10 soda? $20 sandwich?"
I NOPED at that point.
Yep, exactly. Fly the falcon once and youre done
That’s exaggerated for what..
Disney: well we got a mace windu lightsaber?
If anyone knows golf, Pimento Sandwiches are still $1.50 at Augusta National (those most exclusive golf club in the world where Warren Buffet and Bill Gates are members).
It's not Star Wars enough for the Star Wars fans.
It's not Disney enough for the Disney fans.
They should've tested the concept in Hollywood Studios at Disney World, worked out all the kinks, *then* bring it to Disneyland.
Taylor Verrall why test it out at the flagship Orlando resort? They should never have built one in Disneyland. Disneyland is too small for expansion and they wasted a lot of money out there. All new improvements should be done in Florida.
You know it is at Hollywood Studios though, right?
CoffeeGuy19 yes. My point is, they. could have saved 1 billion dollars and just built one in Florida
Cyborg Asylum yea lol. I meant to address my reply to the OP
Test in Orlando?... Orlando should have the best
What is Star Wars without the characters, designs, soundtracks, places and stories which made it famous in the first place? Answer: Very very empty!
Yes! There you go someone said it!
And yet with all of their designers and people working on a land that cost a BILLION dollars they couldn't figure out in advance what you just summed up easily in one sentence. Disney is becoming a huge corporate idiot and lacking the vision we've always associated with Disney and Disneyland/World. But even more important the heart. Why? You can't just have yes men and women, you have to have the person who says what you just said in that sentence so that billion dollar mistakes don't happen. Also, the company has to be smart enough to listen to someone who actually has the courage to say the equivalent of the Emperor has no clothes on. In a company even one as rich as Disney, a billion dollar mistake is hard on it, and just so easily avoidable if you don't just have corporate types planning these things. There has to be heart there too, actual interest and caring about a project. Real aficionados of the project they're working on. Not just graphs and projections about how many people the new land is going to draw in. Well said Erik, too bad you couldn't have been at one of their early board meetings about Star Wars land. 😉
@@Stardustceiling Whoa! I didnt expect such a long comment. Thanks. If you ask me the fact that Disney did this should be even more embarassing because its really like a Disneyland where they dont bother to include Mickey Mouse, Goody and Donald Duck. Why would they think their Star Wars The Force Awakens (which relied completely on the nostalgia of the original movie) would be able to function on its own? I cant even read their backstory because the author who wrote it (Chuck Wendig) makes every other Star Wars writer I know of sound like a genius in comparison. I have read most of the Expanded Universe and even the bad stuff was more interesting than whatever ideas Wendig had for the First Order to have the financial resources of building Death Star sized superweapons without the govt resources of the Empire (former Old Republic). And to be honest the idea is too stupid to be realistic and it gets even worse as the "Resistance" is supposed to be Resisting the New Republic pacifism which was completely erased in The Last Jedi where they are called Rebels and I cant for my life understand what they Rebel again because the First Order is NOT the Govt and it was only hours after they blew up the New Republic on planets nobody knew what they were or what they meant for the rest of the Galaxy. And this is supposed to be the Disney CANON? Are they kidding?
@@TheCultureCommentary Yes, it will become more muddled and a mess the more they try to keep it all going. There's that old saying of too many cooks in the kitchen spoil the stew. Lucas had a clear vision and even he couldn't hold onto the passion it takes to make films like the original 3. I hope I don't sound awful to say that by Return of the Jedi I felt he'd already lost his passion for the stories and that film reflected that. Not to mention the 3 prequels that followed. But people keep begging for more Star Wars, Star Trek, and superhero films again and again. So they don't really care about the quality or if it makes sense. Just will it bring people to theaters or Disneyland to spend their money there. At the risk of this becoming an even longer comment. I will say this, that not all people are this stupid about things. I like the tv series Friends and one of the original writers and creators of the show said people are always clamoring for a reboot now. I liked what he said in answer to them, that there are 10 great seasons of it and let's leave it at that. We as a society are confusing more with better. This new land they've built will probably work out ok for them in the long run. But to fans that actually care, it and the new sequels would have been better left on the drawing board.
@@Stardustceiling I dont know if you know/remember but "Friends" was smeared in media for lack of racial diversity and for making gay jokes so the originals cant even be presented to liberals today. Thats why corporations would to re-make it. Problem is a new "woke" Friends wont have the stories or the characters. It wouldnt be Friends at all, they would just rely on the name-recognition the same way they have done with fake-brands like Ghostbusters2016, Oceans 8 and Star Trek Discovery (STD) who all not only have nothing in common with the originals but often are run by people who dont even like the originals in the first place and think they are gonna "fix" them. This is obviously what happened to Star Wars with EP8 "The Last Jedi" Ruin Johnson did not like Star Wars, he did not even like EP7 "The Force Awakens" which JJ Abrams made and did not even bother with continuity resulting in the good guys called "Resistance" in EP7 and then without explanation called "Rebels" in EP8 even though the First Order is not the Govt and there are only hours between the two movies which makes it impossible for them to have anything to "Rebel" against. Remember the New Republic govt was just recently destroyed in The Force Awakens... that was hours ago. The "First Order" cant in any way have replaced them and became the New Empire. "The Last Jedi" simply is braindead even when ONLY compared to Disneys own "The Force Awakens". Disney Star Wars sucks - even compared to itself.
Disney needs to hire the fighting Toon Town Family for evenings at Galaxy Edge Street Fights! That would fill the park to capacity!🤣
JoeysWorldTour
WOoOOo WoooOOo WOOoooOO
I'm thinking they should start a Disney fight club where you get to test your strength against some of Disney legends. "Step right up for your chance to go toe to toe with Pinocchio?" That's how you bring the crowd back to Disney.
Wait from the movie Pinocchio? I don't member that
Put them in the Cantina, and it'll feel just like the movies!
@@petebest9045 what's up muchachos!
it's gotten to damn exspensive to get in. Before galaxy edge opened it $120.00 just for admission. Since they jack up the price every time they add something and they can afford not to. Disney has gotten way toooo greedy
Yeah I think they raise ticket prices twice this year or at least once for annual passes and once for Premier passes it's extremely expensive to go visit only half an open park
SanityisOvr8ted actually, price tickets have only gone up because Disney has started to change the price based on the time of year. At peak season (summer and winter) tickets are 150. But at non peak seasons tickets are 109.
lets be honest disney has always been greedy af
M. P. Boooooo you suck
@@marjanperveinis8355 What's with the unwarranted racism?
I went to galaxies edge, it was alright but it would’ve been better if it was more focused on the original trilogy and had real Star Wars locations like you said. Also the ride is only good if you’re in the front seat
1. A lot of open space with nothing going on.
2. We only met two employees that seemed to care. Everyone else was like "just let me do my job and leave me alone."
3. The app/game thing is fun, but it drains phone batteries like crazy.
4. I'm not a fan of the new stuff, so basically I didn't understand a lot of the references.
5. I'm not rich enough to waste money on expensive stuff.
Agreed Tim. Disney has priced out the middle class from being able to go their.
Galaxy's Edge looks like a junk yard populated with characters that no one recognizes. Seriously.
Except if Luke pulls R2D2 out of a junkyard, it suddenly becomes the franchise of a generation.
Yes exactly, super generic offbrand Star Wars is not what we wanted
You mean they didn't included the original trilogy and prequel clone war era to the park?
@@johnnyfives5416 Nope. Seems the genuises at Disney didn't think anyone (or more like THEY didn't WANT anyone) to care about Eps. I - VI or Rogue One. They horribly, abysmally screwed this up. What a disaster!!
Rick Chris I think that's one of the best descriptions I've heard of Galaxy's Edge so far! This "junk yard" also features exorbitant prices for admission, concessions, souvenirs, and other merchandise. Whoopee.
Disney will never ever ever admit to a failure, weather its toys, movies, or a tv show, they will always blame people, or their vendors, " Solo didnt flop because people got tired of Disneys bad decisions, it floped because of the sexist, xenophobic, racist, haters etc " - Out of Touch Disney CEO
True.
Hit the nail on the head, maybe one day they'll listen
Michael Jae the only way that will happen is when Hollywood gets off their high horse
Iger did not say that.
@@MichaelJaeYT:They'll listen once their stocks prices fall low enough to get the investors angry enough to oust Bob Igor like they did his predecessor.
I think them separating guests at the gate to ensure no white males could experience the Resistance/good-guy themed attractions was the final straw.
Jove Joved source This sounds interesting
@@blue21-23a lol
I know for myself and my Disneyland Facebook group of a few thousand west coast Canadians, we very intentionally avoided booking our annual trips around opening of Star Wars!!
I think a LOT of people had this same idea. Everyone THOUGHT it would be nuts and nobody wants a packed Park experience.
Funny how in hindsight, I regret avoiding it, as it looks like it would have been the best time to go with such low traffic and wait times in general.
I dont need Disney to tell me the park failed because every single CZcamsr already made a video about it
Yeah they're not gonna tell you a failed anyway
Good, maybe Disney will get the message
The man-children posting videos of their $200 build a lightsaber "religious experiences" wouldn't agree with you. It's embarassing watching men pushing 40 gushing over their toys in a place that was meant for kids, who not only have none but look like they couldn't produce enough testosterone to achieve an erection.
Oh don't forget about The Switch Lite.
But it hasn't. My friend goes weekly, its just not the mess crowds and 6 hour wait for a ride. It's still full
Star Wars fans: would love to see Coruscant, Degobah, Hoth or Endor.
Disney: lets build a Tatooine rip off
Imagine how nice and lush it would have looked if it was Naboo? And make Bongo Sub ride.
I would pay $2000 for a high-quality Coruscant view
I actualy thought that it was going to be Naboo.
Or Mos Eisley or Cloud City, hell build a prequel Epcot based on SW then you can see multiple places.
I want to go to Nar Shaddaa.
Sounds like "Meh The Force Be With You. Or Not. Whatever."
Tickets are too much and the land feels too much like a cash grab. Soulless
Pay extra money to go to a glorified shopping mall to... give us more money!! Yay! It's so exciting!
Dan Hitchman funtimes
Of course Galaxy's Edge is dead. It's in a city we've never heard of with characters we dont know. No Luke. No Leia. No Han. This isn't Star Wars. It's Ruin Johnson-Kathleen Kennedy land.
Boudewijn Mulder this is placed after the last Jedi and Luke and Han are both dead and leia is, I really don’t know
Yup, why would anyone want to spend absurd amounts of money ontop of that to go there
On top that the brains behind this was Disney's head of Financing, who by the way was also the genius behind the first incarnation of California Adventures before the former head of Pixar rescued it.
Boudewijn Mulder theyre all dead thats why. Darth vader dead, yoda dead, obiwan dead sorry bro ppl die lol
There is han
There are 2 variables to why Disney parks (especially Galaxy's Edge) isn't doing well, the first being how much they jacked up the price, to where getting a 1 day/1 park ticket today is $150, and a 1 day park hopper is $200, if you're staying for longer, it's gonna cost you even more, with just a slight decrease in price for each day. This makes going to the parks unreasonable for non pass holders, which only make up around 30-40% of the overall guests that would visit the parks. The other major problem Disney seemed to ignore is that Galaxy's Edge, though based on a popular franchise, is a land that doesn't fit with the rest of the park. Each other land within Disneyland is based not on a franchise, but on a general theme, and the rides themselves represent the franchises. Tomorrowland, Adventureland, Frontierland, Fantasyland, Critter Country, Main Street USA, and Toontown are all based around a general theme, to which going too them isn't geared to a specific fan base, but instead to the general public. This is why Disneyland was so successful, because up until Galaxy's Edge, it didn't matter what you were a fan of, you could visit any part of the park and find rides and attractions you enjoy, even if you say, don't like peter pan, you can just go across the road and ride Snow White. With Galaxy's Edge though, they have to rely on a specific fan base, a fan base that isn't just divided, but over half of whom wouldn't even want to go to Disneyland, so now Disney has to deal with trying to attract non SWs fans to that specific land that adds even more expensive shit on top of the already expensive ticket prices.
I totally forgot about that, I think they jacked up Premiere passes like $500 too or something. And i agree on the land thing, theres less people Galaxy's Edge appeals to and they're cutting their audience in half for whoever wants to go there
Michael Jae premier doesn’t exist anymore, but Signature Plus is outrageously expensive, they have a new flex pass which caused overcrowding on Independence Day
I think Disney assumed that simply saying "Star Wars" or referencing Star Wars is a golden ticket, and that they didn't need to worry about the story, characters, etc.. While it would be VERY expensive, they should have a separate Star Wars theme park, dividing it into "Episodes", and each "Episode" have areas from the corresponding episode (e.g. the Senate Chamber in Episode I, Hoth in Episode V).
"What they've built is essentially a really expensive mall and the one ride that's open is a video game." - perfectly put!
Universal is killing it. Galaxys Edge looks like one long street of "Give us money."
I went to universal and Disneyland in the same week right before galaxys edge opened and even though I’ve been to Disney many times before, I could’ve stayed longer than the three days while one day in universal I felt liked I’d done everything there is to do. Galaxys edge seems super expensive for the one ride but I’d didn’t have reservations so I can’t tell what it’s like. However, a lot of people in the park that I overheard talking about galaxys edge said they wouldn’t come back until after the main ride was opened. I also think Disney scared everyone away by saying it’d be overcrowded, because two days before galaxys edge opened there were 60+ minute waits for essentially every ride. Those aren’t going to magically drop to 5 minutes by increasing Park capacity 5%
Yep, I agree. Galaxies edge looks like they're milking Star Wars fans for money while giving them the bare minimum and universal looks like they actually genuinely care about making a good experience. Yeah there might be more things to do in Disney but there are details and passion put into universal are much more apparent
@@MichaelJaeYT I just can't let this comment stand unchallenged. Universal only care about current trends and the cheapest way to capitalise on them. This is why we've had classics like Earthquake/Disaster replaced by the utterly dire Fast and Furious: Supercharged. It's also the reason why most of their rides are simulators: it's because it's cheap. All they do is put overlays on existing attractions and call it a new ride, like when The Simpsons Ride replaced Back to the Future and when Jurassic World replaced Jurassic Park. You can fault Disney for as much as you like, but you cannot fault the effort they put in to their theme parks and Universal pales in comparison.
@@bobsmore98 Disney invented the concept of repurposing rides. All you need to do is look at the new Guardians ride which replaced one of the most beloved rides in Tower of Terror.
@@jhathaway8026 I mean invented generally means it was the first example, but every ride I've mentioned came before Guardians of the Galaxy. Also, that decision was made because they were losing license for The Twilight Zone and replaced it with an evergreen franchise like Marvel. Every ride I mentioned was made cheaply to chase trends for franchises people have already forgotten about.
When my children ask me, "Why did Disney close down?" I'll tell them, "They had rats the size of people and rats who posed as Disney executives, they were infested and were forced to close down."
Sorry, not happening, vindictive one.
Wise words
I have seen actual rats in the parks before.

It should've been left to the expanded universe, there were so many great stories there I don't know why they had to erase everything and make their new story

Disney is learning that the few people on Rian Johnson’s twitter comments/replies who like the the new movies aren’t enough to support a theme park.
Yessss preach!
They banked on people liking the new trilogy way more so they based the land on it. That didnt pan out.
They needed to base the land on the original trilogy, or at least parts of it.
which kinda says that people only go to see what they think it's popular and WHEN it is popular. What im trying to say, yeah last jedi made millions of dollars, but that was people paying the ticket to theater because everyone was doing it. but not everyone, specially these new trilogy fans will give a damn about star wars outside the months star wars gets hot (december when the movies are released)
They should just transfer the entire Land, they wouldn’t need to change that much since the first order is the budget empire
Kennedy wants rid of the original trilogy. I will never ever understand how that person is still Lucasfilm's CEO.
Apparently, they can't. The "sale" of Star Wars to Disney only includes the franchise going forward, which means they can't touch any of the OT without George's permission and percentage. Which I think is hilarious. :)
@@LesPaul2006 Lucas and Spielberg backed her.
you're right, it was nothing more than a mall with a big video game in it. it was not the star wars that i grew up with. i didn't recognize anything i just figured it was star wars 2.0 i only know star wars 1.0. i asked an employee in one of the clothing shops if the outfit i was looking at belonged to obi wan; she replied "obi who?" i said from the first movie then she said "movie?" i get that the "cast members" are supposed to stay in character but i got so irritated with that particular "cast member". so they can't even reference my beloved star wars?!?!?
Wait what? Are you serious someone actually did this, that's ridiculous
Uh but isn’t that the whole point of their job there? They aren’t in a movie and their character probably would never have heard of obi-wan. So getting mad at them because they were true to their story even as their inner geek wailed is admirable.
Though you do have a point in that it could have been “fixed” by not putting the land in the Outer Rim. Maybe they could have tales their grandfathers told about the clone wars. But I haven’t been yet so idk.
@@gwenthedecent i thought that this star wars 2.0 comes after the time of obi wan and given his massive reputation would not everyone know about him? in the build your own $200 light saber place they pay homage to obi wan so i don't know. i just wasn't gaga over the place.
shelly lee this is taking place after the originals there wouldn’t be legends of him 40 sum years later on a planet he’s never been to
Yes! Everything you talked about I agreed with 100 percent! I rode the ride twice in the same day wondering why there’s no wait time, or where all the characters are. I got bored with it quick. It was cool to see everything, but once I did it I was like “okay there’s nothing else to do” I was expecting more character interaction at least and not everyone being dead haha
"Hey! Come to the Disney Star Wars universe where everyone you knew is dead!"
And none of the new characters aside from Kylo Ren are interesting
@@alphabetaed3007 At least when he doesn't have his mask off and acts like a spoiled child
Aren't all of the actors too old to play the characters though? I agree with the new movies being terrible but this is a bad critique.
@@Pyriscent They still brought em back. They don't have to be heavily involved but use the old characters to help develop the new ones instead of just bringing them back to kill them. R2D2 hasn't done a damn thing and it's a costume. Chewbacca didn't do shit in the Last Jedi and he's a costume as well. Rey is just Jesus now rather than being trained by Luke, it's not a character
ROFL!!!
Too expensive to goto Disneyland for 1 is $150 and 2=$300, going to Knott Berry Farm
YES EXACTLY and what is knott berry farm?
At Knott's Berry Farm we may be smaller but we got rides. And a kick ass wild west stunt show staring yours truly. Come on down. Our season passes are less than a day ticket at Disney. Did I mention we have a water park too?
Their boysenberry pie is enough to make me go let's be honest. The stuff is addictive.
Imagine a family of 4 (father, mother and 2 kids)...$600 just to get in...if those kids each wants to build their own lightsabers ($200ea), and their own droids ($100ea)...that's $600 for both kids....and they have to eat...waaaay too expensive.
@@vf1rj371 yup. I'm glad they're finally facing the consequences.

Know what else is missing from the Streets of Star Wars Land?
STAR WARS!
The Falcon and a few Storm Troopers don’t make it Star Wars.
So people complain that the new movies are filled with fan service but they want Galaxy’s Edge to be nothing but fan service?
@@MegaSoulHero duh u want substance from a movie not refrences and fan service, thats what the themed land is suppose to be for
lDUNNO0 agreed I mean literally look at Universal like the man says they have tons of references, even before you get on the Simpsons ride you can watch a video explaining how freakin Doc Brown lost the Institution of Science and how he had to sell it to Crusty the Clown! That is called detail and references at its finest!
ThirdEngr it’s literally nothing but Star Wars
Dude, it’s meant to be fully immersive, the only reason it has not much Star Wars is because it’s meant to make you actually feel like you’re in Star Wars. Plus this is a random planet out of the thousands in the Star Wars universe, you wouldn’t just see Han or Luke walking around on a random planet
Shouldn’t be too hard to remodel as mos eisley.
actually that would be a genius idea. The general feel is already there, just move the Falcon in a hangar, add the cantina, dirt roads. After that all you need is the right charachters
Nicola Fiorelli dirt roads would be a no go. People wear flip flops and sandals
Adam TheTarHeelFan it’s Disneyworld... have you seen EPCOT Morocco? Or animal kingdom? The floors look like dirt but they are not
HankCScorpio I know. But when he first said it, I didn’t understand what he meant, because the current Galaxy’s Edge has dirt looking roads I believe
HankCScorpio or they could’ve set it on the same planet as Max’s castle, even the whole smuggler theme mixes in
Universal: Fast & Furious Supercharged is the biggest flop in Theme Park history
Disney: Hold my beer
nice try
Hahahahaha!!!!!!
Still I’d ride ROTR any day over FAF
I went a few weeks ago and thought it was good for what it was. It felt like walking around a movie set and, as you mentioned, there’s really not much to do. Other than the one right that is open at the moment, all you can do is eat and shop. One of the major attractions is the Cantina, but the reservations for it were completely booked by 8:30 AM when I went. I wholeheartedly agreed that there is no familiarity to it. It just feels like some random sci-fi town on some other planet that just happens to have storm troopers on it. Was it worth the experience? Yes. The attention to detail is impressive. Is it on point with Wizarding World of Harry Potter? By no means.
OK that's exactly what I was thinking, I'm sure it's cool for a first impression but it just looks like there's not much to do and less you want to spend a bunch of money
I never realized Mos Eisley was a shopping mall. Was there an Orange Julius next to the cantina?

"Yeah, park attendance is down dramatically but guest feedback and satisfaction is really high!" That's exactly *why* satisfaction is high. Friends and I go to DL about once a week. We all say we would have bet $50,000 that what were seeing now with crowds would *never* have happen. We're still surprised. But also still loving it.
From what I got out of this it seems like built this land for the more current generations with their new movies and tv shows not realizing that most of the attendance would be grow men and women who enjoyed the OT and the prequels
And their current stuff is pretty lame
Yup, new trilogy fans only give a damn about star wars when star wars is a hot topic (December or whatever month the movies are released) just because it's popular. They made this "big mall" for them and not everyone is giving them money that ends up being more than twice the entrance ticket for disneyland itself. The toy sales thing says a lot, Original Trilogy fans (which doesn't mean they don't like the new stuff) are the ones that regularly spend money on star wars, now i'm not saying put Boba Fett or Han Solo's face on everything and they will get money, but put familiar faces there to embrace old fans as well, drop the damn prices a little bit and put more than 1 damn ride. There's just no way a casual Disneyland visitor will spend 100 on a lightsaber + 100 on making a drong + food + drinks.
From some fairly decent rumors from a few insiders, it sounds like George Lucas still has some licensing rights to the original trilogy and prequel themes and characters. So that may be a big reason why Disney is killing off and/or sidelining the main beloved characters right and left in the latest movies and why the SW theme park is almost entirely New Star Wars based.
I mean have you seen the animated shows tho? They’re pretty fantastic. And - since it’s a land - maybe they are trying to make it more future proof on the whole. Plus they are a business and hopefully they will play up the “Larp-ing” aspect they advertised in the coming years. Cause just existing alongside characters is a fantastic concept I hope they continue to explore
and grown men & women bringing their kids to enjoy it as well - epic fail
Blame Kathleen Kennedy and infant-man-face Rian Johnson.
They're ruining it
Rian made a great addition to the Skywalker Saga, people trip too much 🤷🏼♂️
Blame trump and the metoo movement, they both are infiltrating and ruining all movies and tv shows and games because of their “masculinity”

STAR WARS: THE GALAXY'S MALL
Hit the nail on the head
Exactly!
Disney fans saying universal harry potter rides are not creative, shows how smart Disney fans are lol.
Fast & Furious Supercharged, Skull Island Reign of Kong, the new Jurassic World ride...
Nowadays Universal makes too many cheap, screen-based rides based on modern IPs, except for Hagrid. And I know, disney did the same with Tower of Terror and Guardians of the Galaxy, but this surely won't happen with Star Wars rides...
@@simonegraffi3698 skull island and fast and furious are both screen rides with amazing queues and nice ride vehicles. If Disney would never do that: then what is smuggler's run???
Coaster Labs okay but let’s compare the screen simulated rides at universal (I left with a headache from being jolted) to star tours, for example. Disney quality is so much better, and I don’t get off the ride feeling like I had minor whiplash for an unimmersive experience. Can’t say anything about smugglers run because I’ve not been on it, but i wouldn’t return to universal, even with how good the queue through hogwarts was. Also, a 60 minute wait for rides that last 30 seconds is kind of a rip off. I’ll take Disney any day.
@@snowangel7980 sounds like you can't stand a good simulator ride. Smugglers then would be better for you since it's more a family ride. You eventually grow out of Disney, go to universal. Not sure when you last went, but things have surely changed. Universal is very much a dynamic park, constantly changing. You should at least give it another chance.
@@snowangel7980 also, Skull Islands render are very convincing. Smugglers has very much a game console look. If you pause the footage of it, it has more a basic form shape with a textured surface. That doesn't constitute better graphics by any means. It's better to have a devoted film then to rely on a okay system to render them on the spot.
Bottom line, it costs too much, they had promised there was going to be lots of places to explore, but that just ended up as lots of retail stores, that everything cost lots of money, only one ride? Now if there were 5 or more rides, maybe better, or if they made the place as old Star Wars land, the first movies, not a made up land. Sad
The prequel trilogy was painfully lame. The reason the LA park was not overflowing is that the big ride is not open yet (that's half of the new land), people were afraid of crowds and the pass blocks. And remember you are getting disneyland for that price plus the new park. The land in Florida is overcrowded by the way. When the second ride opens and there are more aliens/droids roaming around as advertised, both lands will be overcrowded.
The dude who made this video does not know how a theme park and crowd control works. He is basically making this video so he can find a way to shit on every little thing Star Wars. Basically a Star Wars """fan."""
Maybe disney should maybe invest in rebuilding the land they destroyed to make up for that worthless Star Wars ride
I highly doubt they will, theyre so far into production theyd have to redo everything, unfortunately I think we're just going to get what we get, they can only alter so much at this point
once they open the second part of the land then thats when the crowd will pick up.
@@themaster6928: We shall see.
Pixels they did not destroy any land, it was all built in an area that used to be backstage where-houses. the only thing that got removed was the petting zoo area
Disney doesn’t build these things so that they can judge if its a success after a month of sold out reservations and a couple weeks of open to public. Disney builds these things to be around years and even though crowds may not have materialized maybe because of over estimations that scared tourism away they are still very profitable with amount of merchandise being sold.
people are so quick in calling a multi million dollar multi year investment a failure as if it was a movie at the box office
They shouldn't have blocked out the California season pass holders, once the locals can get in I think it'll fill up.
I think partially but I think the state star wars is in is playing a big role too
Exactly. The whole park is empty, not just Star Wars land. To think that people aren't going because of Star Wars land itself is ridiculous. Everything that people go to Disneyland for is still there, so to say people aren't going because they don't like Star Wars is pretty ignorant.
@@MichaelJaeYT alas if you knew anything about Disneyland, you would know that this IS the reason for the drop in attendance. Disneyland's primary attendance numbers come from locals who live near the park, not tourists. They account for a good chunk of the over one million annual passholders. Those local's annual passes were blocked out for the summer. The very day that their passes were blocked, attendance numbers plummeted. Once their passes are unblocked, attendance numbers will surge again. The average guest who goes to Disneyland isn't going there for Galaxy's Edge. That is just part of the overall experience. They will go in, ride the Millennium Falcon ride, look around and move on to another part of the park. Galaxy's Edge was never meant to be a stand alone attraction, it is part of the overall Disneyland experience. I get that there are some Star Wars fans that aren't happy with the way that Disney has treated the franchise, but to think that somehow the angry fans are going to shutdown Disneyland is laughably insane. A look at the Disneyland app right now shows a lighter summer day than normal, but there are still significant waits at the attractions, including Smugglers Run. The average guest doesn't care enough to make it cancel their plans to visit the parks. They will come anyways.
Ken C Totally agree. There are so many die hard/local Disney fans that visit every week. We would visit the same old park for decades. I’m excited about the new stuff they are constantly doing but honestly I visit because I love the way I feel there. It’s a magical place. I’m blocked out right now for summer but as soon as the blockout ends I will be checking out galaxies edge. It’s really stupid to blame low attendance on batuu. You’ll see the park just as full as ever first week of September.
As long as people keep giving their $$ to Disney .. they will keep doing this junk.
Which is why no one is waisting there money on Star Wars any more... its political garbage, not entertainment.
The park is slow because every single annual pass besides the top tier is blocked. Once passes unblock it’ll be insane again. And once rise of the resistance finally opens it’ll be cray
jakku is already off-brand tatooine... so Batuu is a copy of a copy... sounds like some postmodern nightmare
Jakku is Stars Wars brand, so how can that be off brand???
Calimero Hœnir I’m pretty sure jakku wasnt created by Disney. I think the battle of jakku has existed in canon for a while but not sure
@@mikeiseastman yeah so? it's still a copy. You've never heard of recycled content?
@@calimerohnir3311 copy of what?

Bullshit it is
@@kc_ch Haven't been to Disneyland. Can you explain what being "blacked out" means?
@@Drakester671 Black out means you cannot use your season pass access to enter the park. If you want to go, you'd have to pay full price.
@@kawh8719
That's kind of ridiculous of Disney. Doesn't that seem to defeat the purpose of a season pass? If you can't go during certain parts of the season, it seems to me that the definition of a season pass is to be able to go whenever you would like all year long. But what do I know. Stupid Disney.
Strange... very strange... I went to Disneyland (California) and visited the Galaxy's Edge there for 2 days and... the "city" was really, really crowded... and everyone was having so much fun!
You realize that galaxy edge is empty because pass holders were blacked out and disney land crowds are controlled bu pass holders. Like wtf would crowds decrease if a land was unpopular
All of this could’ve been avoided if back in 2012 -13 some creatives all got in a damn room and discussed episodes 7 - 9, instead of winging it.

It's for the new gen....u sound to young to even comment.
Not a surprise. First they shit on the real fans, and then they expect them to show up in big numbers to get robbed at the pile of crap they created??
Last night while I was cleaning, I found those little booklets that come with Star Wars action figures and also the Clone Wars game promotion with Lunchables, both dating 2008 and I was reminiscing a little when Lucasfilm wasn’t owned by the greedy Disney that turned a beloved franchise to another money grab and political podium. Wish it was never sold.
Barry B. Benson you weren’t reminiscing about how Lucas’ episodes one through three were so awful?
Cyborg Asylum at least they were original and didn’t ruin a legacy of a beloved character
I’ve been there and the real issue is that there just isn’t much to do there.
Brian McNally seriously? I was there and my reservation time went by quick because of how much fun I was having! I went on the Falcon five times!
CerealWithoutTheMilk The problem is for now, there’s pretty much only the millennium falcon ride
@@ShyShy0 Thanks for having my back. Even though I live just a half hour away from DL I can't afford to go there often. Going there in July was the first time I had been in a decade. The Millennium Falcon ride is awesome but I'm not going to ride one ride over and over again just to spend more time in one area when there's a whole park to explore. Galaxy's Edge is a fun place to be there's just not much there right now and I think there's still a lot more that they can do if they choose to invest more time into it. For example: A Star Wars zoo with animatronics of creatures would be a great way to spend more time there.
@@joeyoutube3961 you know, there's always people that can have a blast on a rainy day, and others that sit around and mope about it. It's your perspective and your character. My first time planning Disney, someone actually told me not to go to Epcot because it was boring. Actual words. I'm glad I didn't listen.
People seem to forget that Galaxy's Edge is not supposed to be an entire theme park...it's one land inside a theme park that has a bunch of other lands.
Michael, no one's ever really gone.
😢😢😢😢 rip princess and chewy ❤️
Is Michael replacing Rich Evans?
Galaxy's Edge is Black Spire Station, which has been in the lore of Star Wars before the park opened. It's not supposed to emulate Tatooine or Jakku, but the architecture is that of the Star Wars universe. Also, it's not finished, so wait. Don't wish for Tatooine, Jakku, or Cloud City because if they built that, everyone would complain because they would have to downsize it.
It is not Galaxy's Edge that was the fail. They cranked the prices up and people can't afford it.
Lol watching footage of this land makes me realize how butchered Star Wars is Jesus.
Yeah it's kind of sad to be honest, the falcon is really cool but other than that it just looks so Disney
Have you actually been there?

@@Just_Some_K lmao

Like Baltimore?
I was there a couple weeks ago and after I did the lap, I found myself back at the entrance and audibly said "that's it?". The one ride's wait time was too long and anything I wanted to buy was way too expensive. All I got was pics in front of the falcon and that was it.
You do know why Disney did that? Disney, doesn't WANT to use the old Lucas version of Star Wars. They want it to be THEIR OWN VERSION! That IS it! But- it's NOT Star Wars, as fans know it as.
Yup, that´s their fatal mistake. They thought we Star Wars fans were stupid fucks , who would pay for everything and anything as long as it has written "Star Wars" on it, but that didn´t turn out so well, did it?
The Falcon has the wrong antenna. I think the theme park's focus on the sequel trilogy is the mistake.
No, it changed after episode 6
Its not exactly based on a location in the new trilogy. So that's not even it.
@@kaylemathewcomendador7614 That is true about the location, but the Falcon looks like it does beginning with "The Force Awakens," and the stormtroopers look like they do in the sequel trilogy, and Kylo Ren is there, etc., so even though the location (i.e. Batuu) doesn't exist in any of the movies the main elements are all still from Disney "Star Wars" and not from the original trilogy.
theomimesis I have to agree with you on that and most of that would be acceptable... if they actually gave us things like Luke, Vader, Hell even Obiwan or Anakin but everything else is only from shows and movies Disney has made, I think they need to have the characters I mentioned going throughout the park and maybe even give them a little show where they interact and maybe even re-enact some of the famous lightsaber battles, I know I’d be excited to watch a live stunt show of Vader VS Luke from ESB or ROTJ
@@IanGrahn /woosh
I've seen more SW characters I'm interested in at Weird Al concerts.
People don't come half way across the world to roleplay, they go for the rides. And with there being one ride there, families would much rather go to different places where there are more rides. I can already see the familes, sandwiches stuffed in their pockets, hurrying their kids along so that they can do the most eventful things and not wanting them to sit on a bench and hack a few signs. Even if it were Jabbas Palace, or Coruscant, it would have the same outcome
I think the problem is that like you said it’s pretty much a mall with one ride and the other problem is that it was so hyped that everyone thought “oh I’m not gonna go there’s gonna be a million people” and people just haven’t been showing up because they’re expecting a huge crowd
There are longer lines for the women’s restroom in Galaxy’s Edge than at the Falcon video game ride! 😂

Just because Disney acquires Marvel doesn't mean that Spiderman is a Disney Character. Enjoy Mickey and Minnie while you can,cause they are on the way out
@@jeffreyjones2345 Spiderman may be Sony but after 2 failed attempts to boost the franchise they agreed to share Spiderman which has always been a Marvel character and one of the few character universes Disney doesn't fully own now. Hulk is Universal and their agreement is supporting role only ergo why Disney never has Hulk in a leading/solo role. Also notice Venom didn't have Marvel attached to it's production so no Marvel character including Spiderman even as Peter Parker showed up in the film and the movie takes place on the opposite side of the country.
In 20 or so years Disney will claim a bug's life never existed, it's just the Mandela effect trust us!🤣🤣🤣🤣
It's Tough To Be A Bug was freaking iconic. Easily one of the most slept on and scariest rides in the park. Out of everything at A Bug's Land, I wish that show got moved somewhere instead of demolished.
Thank KK, Ruin Johnson, and the LFL story group for giving us a modern era of Star Wars that people do not care about. Subverting our expectations and running it right into the nearest asteroid...
Thank Bob Iger for allowing them to do it unchecked. Is he afraid to fire KK? Sure looks like it.
At this point I wish they would put someone like Dave Filoni in charge
Watch the video of Iger on the red carpet at the TLJ premiere bragging he'd already seen the film a dozen times. After I saw it, I was like, "Mr. Iger and Mz. Kennedy, did either of you actually WATCH it? And like it? Didn't find ANYTHING wrong with it? Nothing to edit? Nothing to change? Snoke's dead, Phasma's dead and Luke's dead and you're cool with that?"
They fear the Outrage Mob too much.
I am a Signature Passholder, and can confirm 100% that Disneyland has *not* been dead, has not been a ghost town. Smuggler's Run has had wait times of 40-90 minutes. It may not have been astronomically successful, but is not 'dead' by any means.
This is yet another "clickbait" video by yet another hater wanting Disney to fail. Are there less people visiting than they want right now? Absolutely... there are a variety of reasons why things are what they are right now and it is going to self correct in the near future. Hell, this is a great time to go as they refurbished a number of attractions in advance of SWGE opening. The park is going to survive just fine, as it has for 64 years, no doubt.
They lifted the blockout for castmembers for September, that shows how much they over estimated the crowds at Galaxy's edge.
I really hate how Star Wars is being so badly mishandled by people who don't care about it or just don't understand it. So sad smh :'(

disgruntled pedant In 1984 it cost about $14 to get into Disneyland. We are in Tomorrow Land now I guess.
Also, they should’ve waited until the main attraction, rise of the resistance, was finished. They opened prematurely.
My mom has a silver pass, I hardly even check it in the summer because it’s always blacked out. But I checked for a friend the other day and it’s open all August and September! Not sure if it changed when Galaxys edge flopped, but that is crazy. Every single day is open, I have NEVER seen that!
I haven't made it in that far but I'd like to rebuke one statement, that later on in the evening the area is fairly empty being a sign that it is failing. This happens at all Disney parks and isn't exclusive to one or the other. Every park has an evening fireworks display, which means most of the guests leave the various lands and amass in the viewing areas for the spectacle. For those who have seen the fireworks display or are just not that interested, this is the best time to visit the the different lands and try to catch a quick queue to a ride that has been backed up all day. The lands empty out rather nicely and let you have some breathing room to just explore. Many guests also leave after the display, so it never really picks back up as it was earlier in the day.
Good, so imma pull up without whacky people all over the place, I see this as an absolute win!
Exactly! If it was crowded people would be compaining
Yeah makes me pretty happy
