Insight on to the future of Kathleen Kennedy and Lucasfilm

https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/h...tends-kathleen-kennedys-disney-future-1256357

Interesting article, although the section in which they quote Herzog seems a little deceiving. It could be that, to Herzog, it's all building a new universe because he's never seen any Star Wars movies before, so I don't know that any stock should be put into his quotes. Even if they're using the quotes as a way to describe their point, it still implies that his quote has some deeper meaning, which I seriously doubt.

That's a good sign, both the Cove and Reflections have seemed pretty slow to gain steam on the projects.

Both had to wait for other work to be done first. Reflections the new stables, and the Cove the new parking lot area.

Wait, one complaint I have read is that there isn't music. Am I misreading people's comments or what?

The music is played in limited areas. The land itself has realistic noises like pandora.

Disney does hear us! (With regards to SWGE entertainment)

I don’t think we’ll ever get to experience the hotel sadly. Kids apparently have plans to go to college....

Space Mountain was closed almost all day yesterday. Wonder why! Was open for a few hours then closed again and then only opened again around 9 when fireworks started but we had already left.

When we asked a nearby citizen of Batuu why the “wishes” were gone, we were told that “Savi didn’t like that visitors were adding their own wishes,” as the tree is “for villagers only.”

Sounds like guests were ruining the immersion

What exactly did they expect with this concept? Seems pretty obvious people like to participate in this type of thing. Surprised they didn’t go the other way and make it a chargeable ceremony.

That's what I was thinking they would do. I know when I was in Hong Kong there was an area that had a similar cocenpt and they would sell you these ornament looking things tha tyou could write your wish/hope/prayer on and then hang it up

They could even do it so that the guest ones looked different if they wanted to not keep those up forever

Or perhaps the ones they sell to the "visitors" could just dissolve (environmentally friendly, of course) over time, so that they would always have room for new ones.....
