What is Disney doing with Star Wars in the parks? | Disneyland 2020-02-22 Pt. 2

[@genialgigi1800]

Something you never hear at Disneyland, "that was cheap." 😂 Cracked up. Ron, you get a star for that one. Gold.

[@ScottClarke]

"I'm gonna say something you never hear at disneyland" "Well that was cheap!" ^^^ accurate!

[@jamesbanach7743]

...but Launch Bay was originally America Sings, and some of the characters are still found in other venues around the park. It was another great show and great place to get out of the crowd and heat and relax while watching several great mini shows. Has never been as good since!

[@rockingrolling3503]

James Banach - fully agree! America Sings was awesome 😎

[@brianwisdom6826]

Love this discussion! You guys should do a fireside chat type event with us Uber Geek Freshbaked fans! Would love to sit and just discuss Star Wars and Disney Theme Parks! Thank you!!! BTW, I’m in the camp that would be okay with expanding or blurring the timeline in GE, just to allow more freedom for people to create their own adventures!

[@john.michael01]

I loved the launch bay back when it first opened during the season of the force along with hyperspace mountain. My dad and I would always go to look at the Galaxy’s edge model along with the photo ops. The hype was so real as the sequel trilogy was about to start and get into full motion. Now, there isn’t much life in the launch bay anymore. It hasn’t even been updated for Rise of Skywalker. Galaxy’s edge is the Star Wars go to place now in Disneyland so hopefully they include more characters or other additions to that land in the future

[@piznat1430]

Imagine a meet and greet with the mandalorian and he’s holding “the child” or it’s in the carrier next to him. That would be awesome

[@oldjedi2758]

Boba Fett is not a Mandolorian. Very surprised that Ian let that slide.

[@jahzd4028]

STAR WARS LAUNCH BAY IS THE MOST POINTLESS BUILDING AT DISNEYLAND!

[@maryjanemccarthy2907]

Cool info! I haven't heard anyone mention that the Smugglers Run is directly from one of the movies. "Solo: A Star Wars Movie" How come? Loved seeing Boba Fett. My favorite character. My best Christmas ornament.

[@jt12blk]

Never been in Launch Bay... unpopular opinion: let's get something else in there. Maybe I'm still mourning the loss of the Carousel of Progress...

[@JimmyRussle]

Nothing in that building has been good for the last 40 years. They should demolish it and build something cool. It takes up a TON of space.

[@chipcooper13]

That's very far from an unpopular opinion, haha.

[@ElProfessoro22]

I collect sixth scale Star Wars figures and every time I come to launch bay I’m tempted to ask a cast member if I can repose their figures 😂

[@ortizjavier8]

Mario Cortez damn that made me laugh 😂

[@michaelbrown5333]

Bobafet actually isn’t a mandilorian

[@kayleep.2458]

"That was cheap" 😂😂 the accuracy hurts

[@ainsleyperry5192]

FreshBaked, David, Ian, Ron. Where did Ron find something cheap? Ian is so close to Star Wars he can almost touch it. Disney's new C.E.O. will squeeze everything including the pip's out of Star Wars. Cheers, Chris Perry.

[@lucash5446]

Kanan might be my favorite Jedi in all of Star Wars canon.

[@ShadowRebelscum]

Launch Bay is one of my most frequently visited sites in Disneyland, but i'm a Star Wars fan and major collector.

[@kalliford3859]

It seriously bothers me how much Star Wars is actually in Disneyland. I don’t hate Galaxy’s Edge I just don’t think it belongs in the Disneyland Park. To me it makes more sense in Hollywood Studios. But since they now have it in Disneyland they SHOULD NOT have Star Wars stuff in other parts of the park other than in Galaxy’s Edge. I can accept the emporium on Main Street as a secondary location for SOME Star Wars merch but Disney needs to reduce the amount of star wars in the park

[@gearhead2be]

I haven't been back to Disneyland for about 15 years. I hope to remedy that soon. I had to figure out where the Launch Bay was. I correctly guessed it was the old Carousel of Progress. I miss that show, but this seems like an ideal use for the show building, in keeping with a Tomorrowland theme. The Carousel of Progress was an amazing show, but was too easily eclipsed by the progression of actual time.

[@ARTone]

What camera are you using? It looks really nice!

[@chericrabbypelley]

I think all eras should be mixed in the Star Wars Land. Keep the characters from different eras in different sections, or (unpopular opinion) have no meet and greets. You can still have Chewy and troopers running around. Harry Potter land doesn't adhere to an exact time, and it's still immersive a.f. and the whole area works.

[@bluegold1026]

Yeah I do agree all eras should be in different areas of Galaxy’s Edge. Makes the most sense IMO. Keep the meets.

[@CruellaUrsula]

Boy do we need a Star Wars theme park! That way all Star Wars characters can roam the park.

[@Jedi_Kensh_WiOak]

David, I heard that the SAG requires any production to put up 2x the expected salary into an escrow account. Just to be sure the actors will be paid. Could they be adding this into those revenue numbers?

[@Jedi_Kensh_WiOak]

David, can you ask Ian where he got his sweater?

[@Susan4Travel]

I think in Galaxy's Edge, if you can have Kylo Ren walking around, you can have any character! So I reckon, bring on Vader, Mando, even the Emperor, or whoever... If you're gonna have one character who is **spoiler alert** dead, then the rest can be there too, that's my thoughts.

[@DeadmanInc336]

Wouldn't make sense. Galaxy's Edge focuses on the sequel trilogies and it's been confirmed that it takes place shortly after The Last Jedi in the canon. If they're gonna have characters from the original trilogy, they're going to be at Tommorow Land.

[@Susan4Travel]

@@DeadmanInc336 I don't agree they should just pluck out a time period and say it's then. I think we'd see a lot more characters and it would draw more people and more excitement to have the most beloved ones there.

[@DeadmanInc336]

@@Susan4Travel well that's what it is. It's official to the Star Wars canon. Nothing you guys can do about it. Keep the past where it belongs. Appropriately in Tommorow Land.

[@Susan4Travel]

@@DeadmanInc336 Still means Leia should be wandering around, give some more energy to the place and this also means the Emperor can be there since he was existing.

[@DeadmanInc336]

@@Susan4Travel Palpatine wouldn't make sense since he's, ya know, a living corpse in hiding hooked up to a life support machine. It would totally ruin the canon of Galaxy's Edge.

[@rjharrington1499]

Okay I think I have a solution to the problem when it comes to meeting characters who aren't in the Galaxy's Edge timeline and here it goes. I think they should construct a cave like the one Luke goes in while training and sees Vader in Empire Strikes Back. That way you can place any character you wish in that cave meet and greet area and explain it away by saying you are using the force and seeing who you need to see or whatever nonsense to sell the idea. I think it's a simple solution that will make it easy to house any new or old Star Wars character you wish.

[@Verbickas]

Boba Fett is not a Mandalorian, boys.

[@sportsfanatic2228]

This video was filmed on my 14th birthday. Besides I’m visiting Disneyland this summer.

[@ILuvNaruSasu]

Boba isn't officially a Mandolorian.

[@kelaarin]

He's an outcast.

[@michaelsullivan3581]

Yea he's just a freelance bounty hunter!

[@Paperheart0405]

I have been away for a hot minute. Looks like a new camera also looks like we have a new fresh baked team member 🙂

[@takeinventory7837]

AlyssaNicole Ronnie is epic!

[@hamza6212]

AlyssaNicole anyone know if sarah will return or has made any guest appearances she was my favorite

[@Paperheart0405]

Anyone know which episode Ron first appeared?

[@2ndRodeo_Keziah]

Hey Dave! Hope you don't mind some input! Your videos are always great, and I know you're not used to that camera yet, but... I'm not sure that camera is the best for moving shots, i.e. walking. Either there is no stabilizer, or you haven't engaged it? Those shots are always very bumpy, and (for me at least) is very hard to watch when you're walking. Makes me a bit queasy. lol But I love seeing the Tomorrowland vids, because I'm a CM there in the shops! 😁👍

[@2ndRodeo_Keziah]

Perhaps if you increase the depth of field, so it has more to focus on, maybe that might help?

[@angiewraight6001]

Ronnie is spot on.

[@gabedl2834]

I was there 2 months ago sitting down eating near launch bay i seen the mandalorian with full custom from chest up with cast member next to him i look at my friend and i said hey look the mando i thought to myself ill go take a pic in few minutes next thing i knew he disappeared didn’t make much of it at time bout 2 weeks ago i realized wen u brought up topic that hes never made a apperance at park am i crazy? or did disney just do a quick test on people’s reaction then shelved him right away

[@takeinventory7837]

Gabe DL woah that’s crazy

[@kristinotto102]

Are you sure it wasn’t Boba Fet? He’s over there pretty often

[@gabedl2834]

Kristin Otto the first thing i checked for was the greenish helmet and im 85% sure it was silver

[@robertmartinez1645]

Damn, I was just there and didn't go to Launch Bay...

[@davidskings]

I don’t think I have see you go in launch bay since b4 galaxy’s edge opened. Needles to say it needs to go in my opinion.

[@bebopblue]

I really hope we get those unfinished Clone Wars episodes with Boba Fett. You can check them out by just searching on KZbin

[@CatnissRose]

I can't wait for the Mando and Child meet and greet!!! It will also be interesting to see where the star wars universe goes from here.

[@nathanberberian2454]

Good afternoon Fresh Baked

[@NOTINTERCEPTER01]

24th March we have Disney plus arrives in the UK.

[@mrvideogarcia5027]

Mandalorian is for the New Generation Millennials and Bobafett is our generation

[@christophersimons6560]

Just to clarify, Solo bombed in comparison to what it was expecting due to fan protest over The Last Jedi. Many fans do enjoy the movie but did not go to theaters to see it

[@dustinkurtz7848]

Dammit Ronn, stand still!

[@viajeconchuck7345]

Isn't Jango Fett thr true O.G.?

[@JG6869USA1]

The Mandalorian has a name, "Dyn Jarren". If the Mandalorian is more popular, how come you don't know his name?

[@kdm71291]

Admittedly, I watched some of The Clone Wars Ani-series when it first came out but not much after that and I've seen a few minutes of Rebels but that's about it. I'm sure I'd know a lot more of the back stories and between stories if I had watched more.....(Sheepish grin)....nor have I seen a single moment of The Mandelorian. I am also one for continuity and canon.........I know Vader is dead because I saw him die and then be joined with the force at the end of Ep. 6.......which is why I also have issue with the Star Trek reboots........they are quite non-canon with just enough referential continuity to draw you in...in a universe that is usually very canon for how deep and complex it is.

[@disneyfanaticsanonymous6344]

I mean, Duchess Satine is OBVIOUSLY the superior Mandalorian in all of Star Wars, IMHO.

[@candacecherry2846]

Love star wars

Hey Fresh Baked!!

[@bluegold1026]

Expand upon Galaxy’s Edge and fit in all eras of the Star Wars universe in separate areas. Too much to ask?

[@jorgemiguel1040]

I love GE. I do not give a ripe about the time line.

[@katherinegaines9252]

I wondered this!

[@Pookie2112]

Tomorrow land needs work it felt so *budget* when I went

[@kayleep.2458]

zombiekiller2112 its the one land where i cant just sit and feel good about being there lol

[@mozboy76]

Anyone know Ian’s. Instagram or Twitter ?

[@domsherb]

The continuity and Disney rules with characters have already been dispersed I feel with galaxies edge. They said timeline was between TLJ and RISE yet Kylo has his mask. Also breaking Disney’s live action character rule with having Rey as a face character yet no others are in the parks. The characters exactly what makes Star Wars so have them all around at scheduled different times but shouldn’t be withheld as currently to many doesn’t feel like Star Wars at all with out characters around. Even if all generic and no HERO/VILLAINS around.

[@CesarVillanueva]

Unpopular opinion: I liked the Solo movie! 🙊

[@michaelsullivan3581]

Me too!

[@cpt.walker6273]

So the book is a knock off of the idea that J.K. Rowling did when she wrote bedtime stories for Harry Potter.

[@ariellebrown2258]

💚💚

[@kevinpeterson6468]

Has not been updated since Last Jedi. The COP building here needs to go.

[@acowwithlegs]

Move launch bay to galaxys edge. I do think star tours is cool in Tomorrowland it’s like a space terminal.

[@skateboardT82]

I always thought they should make like three areas of the park PT OT and ST so all characters can be seen

[@danielmcfeely9151]

So dumb that characters like Boba Fett and Vader aren’t welcome in Galaxy’s Edge regardless of the story they are attempting to tell there.

[@Zacharysharkhazard]

Galaxy’s Edge takes place in between 8-9, a time period where boba fett and Vader aren’t alive so I’m glad they’re keeping it consistent, it’d be really weird to see them walking around with Kylo Ren or something.

[@danielmcfeely9151]

its zack - I’m well aware what they are attempting to do in Galaxy’s Edge story wise, see my post. I still thinks it’s dumb and am not a fan. Makes no sense to make a land celebrating Star Wars where the overwhelming majority of characters aren’t welcome. Especially, when the time frame set for Galaxy’s Edge is arguably the least popular with the fans. Just my opinion. It is what it is.

[@welcometothejungl3]

But where do you draw the line, Daniel? Include characters from all eras? That would make no sense

[@danielmcfeely9151]

WelcomeToTheJungl3 - Personally, the line for me is if it’s Star Wars, then it can be there. Plain and simple. I get that Galaxy’s Edge is suppose to be the Disney answer to Harry Potter World. The problem with that is the land and time frame they chose and built is not iconic Star Wars and likely never will be. The majority of people don’t care about Rey, Poe, and Finn...Some people do and I accept and applaud that, but they will never be on par with Luke, Leia, Han, Obi-wan, Yoda, Vader, Palpatine, and so many more. Not only that, but there are even Sequel trilogy characters not allowed in the land like Snoke and Phasma. How narrow minded. There are 100s of fun and exciting Star Wars characters that people would enjoy meeting. I guarantee in the next decade or so once a new Tomorrowland is built and Star Wars is kicked out of that land permanently, which is a likely outcome, that these characters will make their way to Galaxy’s Edge. where do you celebrate those legacy characters? Secondly, no other land makes sense, as they are all hodge podges of different stories, characters, and attractions (except for Pandora). Yeah, I understand that Galaxy’s Edge is suppose to be different. Ok, fine. You currently have Star Wars in Tomorrowland. Ok. Long term, I don’t see that being the case, The new sequel films made good money, but ultimately within the Star Wars fan base a big percentage, I won’t say majority, saw the Sequel trilogy as a colossal failure. Disney and their parks in part celebrate timeless beloved characters. For the most part the characters introduced in the sequel trilogy, Kylo Ren and BB-8 aside, are forgettable and not at this point timeless. That could change in time. Again, just my opinion. I have no say in the matter. I found Galaxy’s Edge to be quite beautiful and themed amazingly well and the new attractions thrilling, but I also find it lacking in character and Immersion. We were told their would be aliens and droids and Bounty hunters meandering around and interacting with the guests. None of that is there...but we did get the $200 lightsaber build workshop, which in time after the diehards have their sabers will be a huge flop and will eventually close. Non Star Wars fans aren’t going to pay $200 for a saber and very few will buy more than a couple of them. In short, you want a fun immersive Star Wars land? You have the basics now knock it out of the park and add the characters most people care the most about and want to interact with.

[@cc3775]

Exactly! Such a mistake to set it in a certain time period. How do you know have iconic characters in a Star Wars land?!

[@insaneone4369]

Let's just hope The Mandalorian's costume is better than Boba Fett's in Tomorrowland. He's wearing baggy cargo pants. Looks horrible!
