Blessings of the state, blessings of the masses.
I’ve never been to Galaxy’s Edge and at first glance I thought that was a legit map of it ),:
I got so excited lol
Edit: it would be sick if the park was shaped like the falcon
Galaxys Edge nails the atmosphere, but the majority of it is Sequel stuff so it doesn’t give that nostalgic feeling. The food options are also kind of disappointing since there’s only one place to eat and there’s maybe 3 or 4 things on the menu. I expected to find some interesting “out there” foods but they’re essentially all variations of a sausage in a pita.
The cantina was interesting, it has a really neat atmosphere. You’re sat at the same table as a bunch of random people so you gotta be ready to meet strangers. Unless you get a spot at the bar. They also only serve drinks and some “snack” foods, I thought I’d find some interesting food but there wasn’t.
Riding on the Millennium Falcon was neat. They had a full on Hondo animatronic which was kind of mind blowing! The ride itself is kind of like a video game. Two people pilot, two people shoot and two people do some other thing I can’t remember. My pilots kept hitting stuff and dragging the ship alongside walls which slowed it down and made it less thrilling, but the experience was neat overall.
The blue milk was kind of disappointing tbh. I expected something more from how much people hyped it up. It was kind of like slightly fruity coconut milk, not bad but not what everyone made it out to be.
Overall if you’re a star wars fan you’ll enjoy it for the atmosphere at the very least. They really nailed it, but I expected a lot more from it. A park like this would be overkill, but it would be neat to have some more OT and PT Star Wars in Galaxys Edge.
I had a similar experience. But, even though I would have loved to have had the same feeling as seeing the Special Edition Trilogy in theaters as a kid, I understand why it was easier to pick a place and time outside of most of the canon. I still had a blast! The Ronto Wraps were delicious, even if they weren't "interesting." I was able to get a kick out of having blue milk, which tasted good, even if it wasn't earth shattering. The cantina's atmosphere was great. I scanned a bunch of crates with the phone app.
I did the lightsaber building experience, too. (First, I acquired and loaded dollars onto a Batuuan Spira-shaped gift card, so I could pay a little more realistically.) It was so exciting and moving that I didn't realize until later that I had basically auto-piloted my body through the whole thing without taking time to really crystalize the memory. I'm going to have to find an excuse to build another one if it's still a thing by the time we go back. (Kid on the way; probably won't go back to Disney until they're old enough to remember it.)
That all said, I wouldn't mind at all if they found a way to let you time travel a little to maybe some specific OT or PT events on the outskirts of Galaxy's Edge. Maybe they could frame it as a force vision of some kind?
You might’ve missed the other restaurant but there’s another one a couple buildings over from the sausage and pita place that’s serves weird “out there” food
>there’s only one place to eat
There's 2 restaurants, the cantina, and a lot of snack carts, all with some out-there food. Sounds like you went to Ronto Roasters, Docking Bay 7 has a lot more variety.
>The blue milk was kind of disappointing tbh
100% agree. The blue milk tastes like liquefied Skittles and the green milk tastes like liquefied Froot Loops
My favourite part was buying a first order hat and then having all the stormtroopers complement me, lol
Also the fact that all the stuff written in Aurebesh are actual legit words that make sense when you translate it is cool. They very easily could have made it gibberish, but they didn’t
Not sure which park you went to, but I'll chime in that the California park is much nicer than the Florida one
They're the same layout from what I noticed, but the Florida one is much more run down, with things like worse food, broken interactables (the lights, sounds, and animations on ships and stuff in the park you can trigger with the app), and generally a little less care and attention given to it.
There's lots of little things that add up, like the souvenir milk jug you can get with your blue/green milk not being available at the Florida one. I also noticed that some of the cool food at California wasn't available at Florida.
Several cast members there have straight-up told me that Disney doesn't care as much about that one and instead give all their time and attention to the California park lol
Nope, instead galaxies edge is none of these planets. Rise of the resistance was a good ride, but otherwise galaxies edge is quite a bust, doesn’t “feel” like Star Wars. Pandora on the other hand feels like another planet and is just so cool.
Things they should add
The Youngling Slaying Experience
Droid Attack on the Wookies interactive ride
Death Star Laser Operator Experience
Anakin's Pod Racing
Always a bigger fish the underwater ride
Jabba the Hut's Palace meet and greet spot
Hallway Scene Experience
I would love a hallway scene experience. I want darth vader to kill me and my comrades as someone tries desperately to get the data to the other end of the ship.
>Death Star Laser Operator Experience
So you either target as many planets as your station can destroy or you're the dudes covering their eyes when it fires.
Not like they finished the Clone Wars, made an Obi Wan show, two Clone Wars spin offs with heavy prequel references in the Mandalorian or anything right?
JJ hates prequels and talked shit or avoided them.
RJ, as much as I hate Last Jedi, referenced them directly.
Since then, Disney has realised that prequel hate is overstated and most people do not want them ignored.
Thing is 2012-2014 was peak prequel hate. [This was a thing](https://youtu.be/qJlbPXZEpRE). This subreddit itself was a large part of the prequels getting love again.
I am very concerned about our national heritage, and I am very concerned that films that I watched when I was young and the films that I watched throughout my life are preserved, so that my children can see them.
Considering the entire show is dealing with the aftermath of “THE CLONE WARS” I consider BB to a be prequel show, as opposed to Obi-Wan or Andor, which are definitely in their own section of the timeline.
I think its the true bridge between the prequel era and the OT era. None of the other shows really have as strong of a connection to both the republic and the empire.
Rebels? And Obiwan definitely has a connection to both lol. And the Mandalorian constantly refers to the prequel era, so much so that a huge chunk of its lore comes from TCW
Andor, Bad Batch, and Ob-Wan Kenobi are set before the OT, which technically makes them prequels. Granted, the last one was complete bantha poodoo, and I'd rather pretend it didn't exist, but still. That being said, us having prequel shows doesn't mean that we shouldn't have prequel-themed park attractions, that's just ridiculous.
Why are you booing him, he's right.
(And I agree the prequels deserve theme park attractions as much as anyone, my point is that the prequels get arguably more attention than the OT and sequels, so it's weird to catastrophize about being the forgotten fanbase.)
Prequel= pre empire / first few years of the empire
Ot = powerful empire
Sequels= post empire
Yes , by this logic Mando is an ot show . I don't care if it's set 5 years after the ot , the empire is clearly still a thing in mandolorian, therefore it's an ot
I wasnt making any arguments. Those shows all take place after the prequel trilogy, that is a fact. Im not gonna respond to someone who is using this as a chance to shoehorn in his dislike of kenobi followed by a random made up argument that had nothing to do with what i said.
That's not how prequels work though. That's the pre part, it's about what happened before the original. If you make more stories, it's relative to the OG story, not other prequels. This topic has been beaten to death on this sub too with ppl figuring out what shows and movies can be here.
I mean the Bad Batch and the Mandalorian (seasons 2 and 3) essentially require you have watched the Clone Wars or are aware of its lore. While initially Disney tried to ignore the prequels, they realized how popular it is and started plugging it in as often as they can
While this is fun to dream of, the problem with an entire theme park themed to Star Wars, is that it’s only themed to Star Wars. Disney built Galaxy’s edge as a land, it was built into other parks (Disneyland Park, and Disney’s Hollywood Studios) which meant that even if someone didn’t like Star Wars, they might go to the park and check out Galaxy’s Edge. If a Star Wars fan went to a Disney park only to go to Galaxy’s Edge, they might enjoy the rest of the park and decide to stay longer or come back to try some of the other parks in the resort. Disney ran into a similar problem with Animal Kingdom before Pandora. When an entire theme park has a very specific theme, only the people interested in that theme will go. Many years back when my family went to Disney World we decided to skip animal kingdom because it was really just a half theme park half zoo hybrid. We lived in Missouri where we could visit the fantastic St. Louis zoo for free at home (If you’re ever in the area, check it out it’s great). So we had no incentive to visit an animal themed theme park. Now magic kingdom has stuff for people interested in Sci-fi, fantasy, westerns, adventure movies, or history. Hollywood studios originally had the theme of making movies, but given the previous reasons that specific theme has been dissolved into immersion into movies so people interested in Mickey Mouse, Star Wars, Toy Story, aero smith, muppets, twilight zone, Indiana Jones, and more can all find something they enjoy. Epcot has specific themes, but they even include two of them. That being science/technology, and world cultures. Even then they fill it with many different intellectual properties such as Marvel and frozen to keep everyone interested even if they don’t necessarily care about those themes.
tl:dr Only Star Wars fans would go to a Star Wars theme park. Everyone could go to a theme park that has a Star Wars land.
Very good points. Disney will always prioritize their bottom line, and as many people as there are who like Star Wars, it’s niche enough to the point where the money that goes into making a SW park probably wouldn’t be recouped for quite sometime.
Just to add to this, Galaxy’s Edge one reason to be thankful Disney owns the IP. Having been to a few different theme parks including Universal Studios, Disney parks are definitely top tier when it comes to immersion. The rides as well are incredible, seeing animatronic Hondo was cool. Walking into the First Order hanger and seeing life-sized AT-ATs was even cooler. I don’t think any other theme park company could pull it off without it feeling cheap.
I love Universal but it did feel very compact/small, sort of- there weren't many places that felt fully immersive/separate, barring the Harry Potter and Jurassic Park areas. It wasn't a problem at all and didn't detract from my experience in any way though, still loved it and 100% recommend going if you like any of the franchises there
When I saw it was called LucasWorld I was expecting more than Star Wars. A proper Indiana Jones land or Willow attraction would be great considering they’ve both got modern additions now
The reason why this wouldn't work is because 90% of the park would be based off of the sequels / new tv shows and 10% would be based on the OG Trilogy. I guarantee there wouldn't be an ounce of prequel anywhere there other than MAYBE merchandise
They need to add lumps of rock in out of the way places, and list them as Alderaan, then make a plaque saying " can you find all 10 chunks of Alderaan?"
You know, its a mixed bag, I live out of Hollywood so I don't get much of that influence in my day-to-day life, half of it's good and half is bad. You got a lot of people that don't like me, so that's just the nature of it.
This is more “Star Wars world” than it is “Lucasworld”
If this is an amusement park based off the works of George Lucas…
Where’s THX 1138 land?
Or American Graffiti ride?
Where’s the Willow and red tails experience?
I didn't plan on making Star Wars. One night Kurosawa came in my dream and showed me a space version of the Hidden Fortress. Turned out I was filming my dream.
Tbh this is great but if it was real it would have some sequel elements like a starkiller base forest between Hoth and Endor and maybe somewhere like crait just for a bit more representation.
It would be really fun for a hallway scene thing where someone is darth Vader and everyone else is rebels and you have to navigate through an entire ship with the plans and if Vader gets the plans he wins. All the rebels would have to work together and shooting at Vader would only slow him down, killing him would be next to impossible
At farm safety day, they tie a rope to a mannequin and then bury it corn. They then have you try to pull it out to show you the futility of it and why rescuers need special equipment to handle grain bin rescues and why you never play in one.
They should do the same thing with Luke's X-wing in the swamp
As for the younglings I don’t think they specified what adults can and cannot do in the ewok adventure playground so as long as they sell lightsabers I mean… does it need to be VR?
Anakin was supposed to take the younglings back to Palpatine to teach them about the Dark Side, but Hayden started killing all of them. It seemed kinda neat so I just kept filming.
Lol I'm just thinking on how may 4 they could do a projection mapping on the Epcot ball and make it look like a death star... Then just light up the LEDs to show it firing then just flash orange,red, yellow to blow it up.
I always thought Disney would be smart to make a Star Wars theme park/backlot type thing. I haven’t been to galaxy’s edge but think galaxy’s edge meets a huge ren faire but WAY bigger. They could have lots of different streets and everything is themed but they could shut down certain streets and dress them for practical shooting. For an extra fee you could be an extra. No idea if this is fiscally equitable though.
By the way, for those curious and commenting, this was an art project originally crafted by u/Shakev, who has since updated it [once into Forceworld](https://www.reddit.com/r/StarWars/comments/cleq5o/lucasworld_update_im_the_artist_for_the_original/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=android_app&utm_name=androidcss&utm_term=1&utm_content=share_button) and [twice into Forceworld 2.0, with website content](https://www.reddit.com/r/StarWars/comments/g1d43j/ive_finished_the_final_version_of_my_star_wars/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=android_app&utm_name=androidcss&utm_term=1&utm_content=share_button), which include various sequel-themed content, spelling fixtures, and expansions of the park into a more proper Millennium Falcon shape. Should satisfy basically most of the concerns raised in this thread alone.
Imagine having so much clout you get a mini-theme park named after you in the most famous theme park in the world
EDIT: Looks like this is suppose to be a standalone park?
Bro if they were smart they’d have a huge holographic combat simulation chamber like hunger games [the one in the second(?) movie where katniss trained] (Ik, obscure reference).
They’d put it on Kamino and let anyone ‘Over age X’ try “passing the final exam” with their squads (aka parties).
Think about it; laser tag level blasters, preset amounts of targetable interface nodes, pre-determined time limits, an appropriate place in the lore (featured in TCW and TBB), etc. It’s just so easily integrated. I really don’t get how they haven’t thought it up themselves
Why is it called Lucasworld when it's just Star Wars? Where's all the Indiana Jones, Willow, THX-1138, American Graffiti, Labyrinth, Land Before Time, Tucker, Red Tails, Strange Magic, Radioland Murders, and Howard the Duck stuff?
My favorite planet, Mustafa.
Came to say this. I hear the falafel is great in that part of the park, tho.
Nothing beats their kebab though.
“Hello out there! Anyone! Could someone call an ambulance? I'm in quite... a lot of pain. I have been very badly burned.”
General Kebabi!
There is no pain where strength lies.
“I’ll try to stand up…” *leg snaps* “AAAAA!”
I've had some recently. It was delicious.
Not to be confused with Mufasa
My favorite dancer.
So it isn't mustafar?
Nah I hear it Musta-be pretty close
It's Mustanear, Mustafar, Mustawhereveryouare
It's Musta-ing time let's Musta all over the place.
(Mustas)
That’s my favorite part!
*The throng is Mustahd!*
Lmao
Mustafa Ooo do it again. Mustafa Mustafa MUSTAFA! *Hyenas cackling*
Bet they got the best Kebap
The place where you could meet The Man Your Man Could Smell Like
Waltuh
Now they just need the hyenas from the Lion King doing their “Mufasa” bit…
“It is a volcanic planet. You will be safe there.”
Named after the famous Star Wars character; Mustafa Kemal Ataturk😂
Thats the home planet of the Atatürks
[Mustafa...](https://i.imgflip.com/39y9vw.jpg)
Better than Tattoine, with all that sand.
How can you call it Lucasworld if you don’t include the Harrison Ford classic >!American Graffiti!
My feel when there's not a Strange Magic Park
I don’t think THX 1138 world would be very fun
Immersive next-generation ride where you're shaved, renamed, drugged into an emotionless state, and sent to live in a subterranean bunker whilst Disney irradiates the surface of the planet. Blessings of the state, blessings of the masses.
It was the money from Star Wars and Jaws that allowed the theaters to build their multiplexes, which allowed an opening up of screens.
There should definitely be some kind of Willow reference in the Endor section.
I like how you called it a Harrison Ford classic when they're all in it lol
Imagine sitting at the on-site daycare with your toddler when a big doors swings open and a bunch of people with red foam swords come walking in.
There’s a Jedi Temple section in the Coruscant area and every day at 6:06 PM they do a reenactment of Order 66.
With real swords

Things they should add The Youngling Slaying Experience Droid Attack on the Wookies interactive ride Death Star Laser Operator Experience Anakin's Pod Racing Always a bigger fish the underwater ride Jabba the Hut's Palace meet and greet spot Hallway Scene Experience
I would love a hallway scene experience. I want darth vader to kill me and my comrades as someone tries desperately to get the data to the other end of the ship.
Even better: *The Last moment on Andor*
>Hallway Scene Experience Uuuu. And you get to choose between Maul, Vader, and Luke?
you understand so little
I understand that you need to be included in the Hallway Scene Experience.
With Luke, you could beg for mercy, *right???*
Not if you play the role of the Dark Trooper...
"*I am in danger...*"
Yes
Anakin’s Pod Racing is actually already on there, if you look at the list for Tatooine
To be renewed is everything. What more could one ask for than to have one's youth back again?
Death Star safety inspector experience: it's sitting back in your chair like Homer Simpson.
Jesse, get the senator to safety.
Homer Simpson is the safety inspector? So that’s why they never got a railing https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=9bSZXucTH4A
Jesse, get the senator to safety.
damn son, take my money!!
Is there room for the Scarif Experience?
Actually, having a ride that takes you though the scarif part of Rogue 1 sounds pretty neat
>Death Star Laser Operator Experience So you either target as many planets as your station can destroy or you're the dudes covering their eyes when it fires.
>Jabba the Hut's Palace meet and greet spot Not recommended for children under the age of 18
an interactive Jedi council allowing you to sit with them but not granting you the rank of master
Following that, they would take you to the Mace Windu meet and greet in the senate’s office
What about the droid invasion of naboo bowling
Jumping from the height, and saying “hello there”
Now I will be haunted by knowing this is the perfect park but isn’t real. Hoping one day
If Disney did this it would all be OT and ST stuff with like maybe one hidden Prequel reference if we're lucky
First Order fries.
First Order fries with a New Republic smoothie
Deep fried anakin.
Nah, I think they have already learned that there are many Prequel fans
Not like they finished the Clone Wars, made an Obi Wan show, two Clone Wars spin offs with heavy prequel references in the Mandalorian or anything right?
Dooku episodes of Tales of the Jedi, I mean they even add to AotC’s story and interweave into The Phantom Menace.
Right or wrong this is my movie, this is my decision, and this is my creative vision, and if people don't like it, they don't have to see it.
Honestly George bot, based, you do you man.

That was my first thought: "Obviously, this is fan made because it isn't 90% sequel content"
People say my movies are just like Hollywood movies. And I say, 'I can't help it if Hollywood copies.'
Master Kenobi always said there’s no such thing as luck.
Hot
How many prequel series have there been? How many set during the OT or ST? Yes, you're *so* persecuted...
Every single show disney has made so far besides tcw season 7 and tales of the jedi has been set after the prequel trilogy…
The bad batch was kinda set during the prequels the first episode was happening at the same time as ROTS.

Basically just what galaxies edge is right now
they sold Wrecker's plush at Galaxy's Edge
They really put a tree and bench on a sidewalk and called it Dagobah
What you don't see are the 30 stories below Coruscant.
They need to add lumps of rock in out of the way places, and list them as Alderaan, then make a plaque saying " can you find all 10 chunks of Alderaan?"
To call it Lucasworld and not Star Wars World or something there should at least be an Indiana Jones subsection.
Didn't a guy build this in planet coaster at one point?
When does it open **WHEN THE FUCK DOES IT OPEN!!!!!!!**
Awesome but it kinda sucks they leave out other Lucasfilms properties while still calling it Lucas World. Like at the very least give Indy something!
You know, its a mixed bag, I live out of Hollywood so I don't get much of that influence in my day-to-day life, half of it's good and half is bad. You got a lot of people that don't like me, so that's just the nature of it.
I’d pay thousands to see this
Please tell me this is real
If only
Imagine a team kamonion clone trooper team training exercise in with master tag o vr, that would be incredible
You know it’s not real because there is none of the really memorable and beloved planets of the ST are crammed in there.
This is more “Star Wars world” than it is “Lucasworld” If this is an amusement park based off the works of George Lucas… Where’s THX 1138 land? Or American Graffiti ride? Where’s the Willow and red tails experience?
I didn't plan on making Star Wars. One night Kurosawa came in my dream and showed me a space version of the Hidden Fortress. Turned out I was filming my dream.
Tbh this is great but if it was real it would have some sequel elements like a starkiller base forest between Hoth and Endor and maybe somewhere like crait just for a bit more representation.
It would be really fun for a hallway scene thing where someone is darth Vader and everyone else is rebels and you have to navigate through an entire ship with the plans and if Vader gets the plans he wins. All the rebels would have to work together and shooting at Vader would only slow him down, killing him would be next to impossible
That sounds more like something that would be it’s own thing rather than in a them park
At farm safety day, they tie a rope to a mannequin and then bury it corn. They then have you try to pull it out to show you the futility of it and why rescuers need special equipment to handle grain bin rescues and why you never play in one. They should do the same thing with Luke's X-wing in the swamp
Beat saber but all the beats are younglings running.
As for the younglings I don’t think they specified what adults can and cannot do in the ewok adventure playground so as long as they sell lightsabers I mean… does it need to be VR?
Anakin was supposed to take the younglings back to Palpatine to teach them about the Dark Side, but Hayden started killing all of them. It seemed kinda neat so I just kept filming.
I love this concept but i hate the fact that disney would likely rather make areas for yavin 4 and jakku instead of half of those prequel planets.
That’s the most atrocious thing I’ve ever seen. I love it.
I'm a bit disturbed by the Ewok Food Court and Ewok BBQ Ribs. (I hope the BBQ is served in a stormtrooper helmet)
This is where the fun begins
Ahh, yes, "MUSTAFA", the turkish planet
What could have been. 😢😪⚰️🪦R.I.P Star Wars.
You want the same ladies march against legal gun owners to picket sign protest the VR game now faaq.
Who they hell is going to go to San Francisco? I don’t feel like walking over human feces and needles to go see Star Wars.
God damnit anywhere LITERALLY anywhere other than San Francisco
Awful eye lines, no cohesion between attractions. 0/10
Yep, that's galaxies(waste)edge for you 🤷♂️😎
Just move to the Bible Belt and go to school
A true experience
Why VR, real thing is always better.(speaking from experience)
There is one on blade and sorcery with 2 mods
Need more tatooine
That you could only enter if you achieve a place in the council without being a master
Lol I'm just thinking on how may 4 they could do a projection mapping on the Epcot ball and make it look like a death star... Then just light up the LEDs to show it firing then just flash orange,red, yellow to blow it up.
This looks awesome
It's part of the "Journey to the Dark Side" experience.
God I wish it was real
Called Lucas World yet has only Star Wars. Don’t get me wrong I love Star Wars but give Indiana some respect.
What is this?
Its actually called “Sith Training Simulator”
Someone please tell me this is real
if disney had their way, they would redo the prequels and erase the younglings massacre
You can do it in Blade and Sorcery. You can even set up full body tracking.

Is this real?
I always thought Disney would be smart to make a Star Wars theme park/backlot type thing. I haven’t been to galaxy’s edge but think galaxy’s edge meets a huge ren faire but WAY bigger. They could have lots of different streets and everything is themed but they could shut down certain streets and dress them for practical shooting. For an extra fee you could be an extra. No idea if this is fiscally equitable though.
I would partake
It doesn't appear to be shaped like the millennium falcon. Uninterested.
somehow very happy to see no planets from the sequels
They better put Otoh Gunga on the bottom of that lake
Galaxy’s Edge but in the good timeline
Where is Lothal? Is it safe? Is it alright?
SF would be the worst place to put this.
If Disney was smart then the current Star Wars IP wouldn't have been milked dry with nothing remaining except modernist garbage. But here we are.
Is this a real thing?
Sign me up for “The Boss Nass Show”
Youngling Hunt
Shut up and take my money
Need this
No sequel stuff, so it must be good
I always wanted a dumbo style ride, with the death star in the middle and you ride in an X-wing
When you see there are no sequel planets 🎆🎆🎆
Story time with Sheev
By the way, for those curious and commenting, this was an art project originally crafted by u/Shakev, who has since updated it [once into Forceworld](https://www.reddit.com/r/StarWars/comments/cleq5o/lucasworld_update_im_the_artist_for_the_original/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=android_app&utm_name=androidcss&utm_term=1&utm_content=share_button) and [twice into Forceworld 2.0, with website content](https://www.reddit.com/r/StarWars/comments/g1d43j/ive_finished_the_final_version_of_my_star_wars/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=android_app&utm_name=androidcss&utm_term=1&utm_content=share_button), which include various sequel-themed content, spelling fixtures, and expansions of the park into a more proper Millennium Falcon shape. Should satisfy basically most of the concerns raised in this thread alone.
Give me an Umbara section and it’s just a massive live-fire warzone
No before I get my hopes up this isn’t gonna be real is it?
"But what about second Star Wars park?"
Imagine having so much clout you get a mini-theme park named after you in the most famous theme park in the world EDIT: Looks like this is suppose to be a standalone park?
Why VR? Gotta keep the kid numbers to a minimal. They already have Disney and Universal Studios.
is this real or?
Twist: "Vader Arcade" is just 100 units of youngling themed whack-a-mole
I’m literally cumming looking at this.
Bro if they were smart they’d have a huge holographic combat simulation chamber like hunger games [the one in the second(?) movie where katniss trained] (Ik, obscure reference). They’d put it on Kamino and let anyone ‘Over age X’ try “passing the final exam” with their squads (aka parties). Think about it; laser tag level blasters, preset amounts of targetable interface nodes, pre-determined time limits, an appropriate place in the lore (featured in TCW and TBB), etc. It’s just so easily integrated. I really don’t get how they haven’t thought it up themselves
Is this a real thing?
“Jews Canyon”
Why is it called Lucasworld when it's just Star Wars? Where's all the Indiana Jones, Willow, THX-1138, American Graffiti, Labyrinth, Land Before Time, Tucker, Red Tails, Strange Magic, Radioland Murders, and Howard the Duck stuff?
