Yeah, I was just correcting that.

He also died on the birthday as Jack Kirby, creator of Black Panther.

Where is this original vision? I’ve heard the stories told about how there was this massive draft with a plan for the entire original trilogy, but no one has ever seen anything like that. Just a 2 page starter concept, a 12 page outline, an incomprehensible rough draft and a slightly less so...

Of course he made it up. Gary Kurtz even called the original drafts gobbledygook. Splinter of the Mind's Eye was designed as the escape hatch sequel to Star Wars in case it underperformed, and it had no tie to any major saga story elements. Leigh Brackett's first draft of Empire bears only the...

I'm very aware of the production of Solo. I'm very confused about who you feel were the incompetent writers and directors. I'm not trying to be pedantic, but you said that competent ones ensured that a Star Wars film would make money. (Though hilariously, if we wanna get down to that standard...

Well, Solo was a box-office bust, so the implication of what you said was that they weren't competent.

Ron Howard and Lawrence Kasdan weren't competent directors and writers?

Epcot didn't die for you in 1994 when they had the big Magical World of Barbie celebration? I get very amused at people getting mad at Epcot for jamming in IP, as if people weren't furious at Eisner for bringing in Mickey into the sacrosanct Epcot in 1985 because he realized people wanted...

I want them to close if park visitors start to catch this in significant, provable numbers - and more so, start to die from COVID. That's my metric. Nothing is worth that. It would be insanity to keep an actual major disease vector running. WDW is maybe my favorite place on Earth and I want...

A younger Broadway performer, Nick Cordero, just had his leg amputated because of widespread clotting, which is apparently becoming more and more of a symptom. It's NOT just about mortality. Young people are surviving this, but they're not coming away unscarred. They're being left with lifelong...

It's funny - I had the same feeling about RoE, because I dearly loved the incarnation with classical music. My reaction was, "oh, I guess Aaron Copland and Saint-Saens and Tchaikovsky weren't GOOD ENOUGH FOR DISNEY, I guess we needed this crap Muzak in-house music so they could pocket all the...

Right. A "whole new world" suggests the upcoming show, but it's also about the in-progress transformation of Epcot.

Keep in mind that the cancelled show with Josh Gad was only one of the Muppet shows in development at Disney+, and the other is still a go.

Oh, how I miss the Skyway. More than even riding it, I just loved the feeling of looking up and seeing all these cabs soaring along. It added a wonderful kinetic energy to the park and it’s something I’ve really looking forward to recapturing with the Skyliner.

They didn’t have someone brilliant like me to suggest it in time. :teeth:

If they could score a deal to use one or two off-limits Marvel character, I imagine one idea that would work well in Epcot (or in Tomorrowland) - a reboot of Adventures Through Inner Space but guided by Ant-Man and the Wasp. It feels an idea that's a perfect synergy of old-time Disney and taking...

Tiffins was a delightful experience for us on our October trip. My wife, who can be a tough sell for theme-park related food, was ride or die for the food and the experience, even after kind of a humid and overstuffed day.

I'm kind of a long-time/newbie pin collector. :) I actually started collecting pins after my 1998 trip to WDW, but life got in the way and I pretty much stopped until our return trip last October. Now I'm back in, and best wishes for my wallet are appreciated, especially with the Box Lunch that...

I wish they could make a deal to use a character like they did with their Spider-Man Sony deal, because I would LOVE a new Adventures Through Inner Space with an Ant-Man twist. I would never stop riding that. :)
