Nothing earth-shattering revealed, but the tidbits do give us an example of the extent of detail and immersion Disney's hoping to achieve.

And they're definitively on the record about the Falcon ride's interactivity.

That blog doesn't really tell you much, there was much more info from the actual panel

Yea, I was so excited when I saw it on social media. Is this the first Star Wars face character for the parks?

She doesn't look anything close to Rey. Not at all. AT ALL.

Disney going above and beyond, holy cow:

That sounds like complete PR BS!!!

I guess we'll see. I'm so sure you'll be treated differently. Lol. Maybe you won't get the MIB suit at the end but that's about it.

From the context of their comments, I have a strong feeling the characters in the land (droids, AI creatures, etc.) will behave differently.

Maybe to you, but I think this is one of the better look-a-likes i've seen from Disney lately. There isn't a magical Star Wars store where you can go buy a Daisy Ridley clone. In Orlando, you have to work with who is willing to work for you (keeping in mind this also isn't LA, so we aren't as pretty either) and here they did very well.

New concept art released. Anybody else getting a serious Port of Entry vibe from this?

 

[DoubleJ]

Very telling.

It feels like Port of Entry and Harambe had a baby who's going through a sci-fi phase.

Wow, the exact same thing crossed my mind when I first saw it. I really don't know what to make of it yet.

Yeah, I heard Brendon Fraser comes on at the end of the ride and yells about his coffee.

Wow, they're really hyping this up. Did Universal ever hype Harry Potter like this?

I really hope they nail it.

To be quite fair, hasn't it been said in the past that Micechat said of SWL being pretty much like a renaissance fair?

 

[WAJAS]

Expectations are going to be through the roof for this. It better at least get close to those expectations, but its sounding like they very well might.

Man if this interactivity is what they say, I might just ride it and wreck the MF continuously to see what happens.
