So when people complained about not understand all those plot holes and lore inconsistencies in the sequel movies, they were told to buy and read the supplemental novelizations and comics.
Why would anyone waste time reading shitty books in order to understand the lazy writing of the films that’s never explained? That is one of the most dumbest mentalities a Hollywood producer could have.So when people complained about not understand all those plot holes and lore inconsistencies in the sequel movies, they were told to buy and read the supplemental novelizations and comics.
Now when people complain about not understanding the premise of this theme park, they are going to be told to buy and read the supplemental novelization
Yes, outside content is meant to be optional and supplemental. It should never be required to understand a movie.
A shame Disney doesn't seem to understand that. That was something pre-Disney Lucasfilm and its EU understood. They were bonuses that could work as standalone as well as follow ups (especially the games) and even the movies weren't required for most of them and vice versa, unlike Disney and their new canon where everything is mandatory and can't work as standalone because you have to read every single fucking thing to follow one fucking storyline in the new movies and their DEU material or understand why something doesn't make sense in the new movies or new comics. And it doesn't help that all of it feels like it was done by Chuck Wendig and does its best to remind you that you need to get woke; and whether Chuck's been fired or not doesn't matter since his self-insert still exists in TFA, the comics and will be in IX too.
Alright, I have some of the Galaxy's Edge info ready.
First off, one of the reasons the park feels so disconnected from Star Wars (according to perplexing official reasons) is because its intended to be the start of a new and HUGE multimedia project that will include a shit ton of books, comics, guides, etc (some of which aren't even named yet) and if it all goes well, it might gets its own movie or tv show (probably nothing special, like something on par with Galaxy of Adventures). The reasons for this are varied but the most common one getting spread about is a desire to move away from the Trilogy films. In other words they want Galaxy's Edge to be its own franchise that just happens to share some similarities with SW, making me further suspect that they just want to replace SW. All of the new media is set to come out just before and after the park's opening, which means people will be going in without a clue of what this place is or where its from. Of the named media, the most important ones are adventure books that will detail Batuu's history, importance and yadda yadda.
Out of the known pieces of media confirmed for Galaxy's Edge, none of them have any connection with any well known characters except one titled Galaxy's Edge: Blackspire which only has Leia and Chewbacca as cameos to explain why the Millennium Falcon is there (unmanned) and why you (the tourist) get to be recruited into the Resistance. The Galaxy's Edge stories revolve around entirely new characters and will presumably be just one of the many new stars of this multimedia project, the first of which is a girl named Izzy who moved away from Batuu but came back and reunites with her bff Jules, a questionable lad of ill repute and she will soon prove that she's as capable as him... The other mostly focuses on the spy recruiting people which is just to explain the story that goes on in the rides. This is presumably to further enforce the the Galaxy's Edge multimedia project as a new franchise.
Also Galaxy's Edge will try to bring a more notable focus on fantasy and magic to Star Wars, especially on Batuu, as future stories hope to do, starting with a new book of stories titled Myths and Fables which actually hold truths.

One of these truths is that the stone spires and mountains on Batuu aren't actually stone or mountains, they're actually petrified guardian trees stumps (this has been confirmed outside of the fables book in the official bio for Batuu on SW.com). Other than that, the novel's contents are a mystery until a year or half a year from now and only one of the stories has been publicly revealed, and its one that takes place on Tatooine. According to the story, they retcon the serpentine Krayt Dragon of Tatooine into a generic flying fantasy dragon named Krayt who was actually slain by a mighty warrior who saves a tribe of Sand People (a lot of new media has been trying to portray sand people as misunderstood and acting in self-defense). The mysterious warrior was a Tusken Raider chosen to slay the dragon for being the strongest of the tribe, and the twist ending is that she turns out to be a woman (this is the third time they've implied that most tusken raider warriors are actually female, with one of the other two times being a retcon of the tusken raider that attacked Luke being female now). YAS QUEEN SLAY. The only thing from this story they could mark as genuine fable is the fact that Krayt could talk and plan.
Now for the aliens. If anyone recalls from the last time I mentioned this, the park will feature mostly original aliens and a few from the movies (mostly the sequel trilogy) with the familiar ones being a minority. Familiar named ones consist of Chewbacca, C-3PO, R2D2 and Ackbar, and some of the ones from Star Tours may show up there on certain days... also BB-8... For familiar background civilian aliens, the only ones confirmed so far are twi'leks, mainly a waitress, a singer and a performer (but whether they'll be seen in the streets is still unknown). Supposedly, according to artwork, a few jawas and some niktos which will be exclusively found in a small recently announced bar area called Oga's Cantina which is basically a cheaper and smaller copy of Tatooine's Chalmund's Cantina but more "futuristic", presumably made due to complaints of the lack of familiarity in the new parks due to its last minute announcement, but it won't have the Bith jizz musicians, and instead the bar's music will be techno pop shit performed by the droid from Star Tours who has been "downgraded" into a DJ. The cantina will be the primary hang out for the familiar named characters like Chewbacca.

Other than the costumed aliens, several aliens will be stationary animatronics. And here is the most important one and the only confirmed animatronic based on a familiar species:

An Ithorian with long eyelashes named DokOndar. His name was first dropped in Solo to promote the park but he was not seen. Other than that, he hasn't appeared in anything. Anyway, his role in the park is to remain in his store where he "sells" antiques. Visitors can interact with him by taking objects from his store and putting them in his tiny hands which begins an explanation sequence where he tells you what the item is. After the park is finished he will be getting his own comic book to explain why he's important (his name "reverberates" across the universe) and make sense of the shit he says about the useless gift shop items. He is the only Ithorian in the park according to info so far.
Droids in the park will mainly be R5-D4 inspired droids.
Some more pics.
There's more to tell but I'm frankly tuckered out. So I'll continue adding more info later if that's alright.
Edit: Fuck it. Here's one more. One of the other major books scheduled for release is a cookbook filled with food nobody's ever heard of that's actually meant to explain the food they will sell at the park. Some rumors state that instead of blue bantha tard cum, they'll have green sea cow titty tard cum! Just like the kind our pathetic hero Luke loves so much!

I'm honestly getting more convinced of that with each new bit of info that comes out. Like I've said before, all they would need to do is replace the ships and SW costumes and scrape off the aurebesh, and the park can easily be converted into anything else. And look at the Ithorian, his hands don't even match up with what we've seen of that species, so all they'd need to do is replace his head to remove that piece of Star Wars from the store.
I'm not convinced of them ever losing the license (I've gone into blackpilled tirades about how they'll never let go of that poor cow). What I am convinced of is that they realize the IP isn't working out like they had hoped, so they'll just silently push it aside and plan to convert Galaxy's Edge to not have SW references in the future.
I can understand trying to do something alongside the existing stuff rather than in the middle, but Disney Wars in general seems more and more like they found out after the deal finished that there's some elements of the Star Wars IP that they don't entirely own the rights to and they're trying to dance around it.Alright, I have some of the Galaxy's Edge info ready.

A shame Disney doesn't seem to understand that. That was something pre-Disney Lucasfilm and its EU understood. They were bonuses that could work as standalone as well as follow ups (especially the games) and even the movies weren't required for most of them and vice versa, unlike Disney and their new canon where everything is mandatory and can't work as standalone because you have to read every single fucking thing to follow one fucking storyline in the new movies and their DEU material or understand why something doesn't make sense in the new movies or new comics. And it doesn't help that all of it feels like it was done by Chuck Wendig and does its best to remind you that you need to get woke; and whether Chuck's been fired or not doesn't matter since his self-insert still exists in TFA, the comics and will be in IX too.
It's the EA model: Disney sells a half finished, broken product, and charges you to buy a fix for it, showing their disrespect for both consumer and material.
I wonder if process of elimination can help determine what they don't have. Like glancing at things so far I'd hazard they have stuff from preproduction of the OT, but not visual elements that appear in the OT as they were on screen? That would be a more reasonable explanation of why it's all like 3p0 with the new arm and the Falcon with the new radar dish and the fighters with the different paint as opposed to the "Bad Robot merchandise" theory.
That would explain a lot. Most of the new stuff that appears in Disney Wars that isn't original is based on pre-production material and a lot of the new aliens and worlds seen in the DEU, Rebels and Resistance are either original or based heavily on rejected or unused concept art and ideas from past media. Disney's desire to replace and eliminate not just previous elements but OT heroes as well shows that they may have legal issues with them or that they simply don't want to keep paying anyone (especially 3rd party creators and actors) royalties for them.
I haven't heard anything explicit about familiar human characters, as all I know is that characters from Star Tours: The Adventure Continues may show up there on certain days except classic stormtroopers. If by some miracle Luke and Leia are at the park, it would be their old selves rather than their young selves since Disney wants to preserve a "continuity" within the park by having it only have stuff that would exist 30 years after the OT.
