It's not as cool since they added the cage to the drop elevator, but when you're falling at faster than terminal velocity, I can understand why you need it. But honestly, the drop isn't even my favorite part of the ride. They do such a good job putting you inside an episode of the Twilight Zone.

The revised Star Tours is almost as good, but since it's still just a simulator it comes up a little short. I would love for them to develop a Star Wars themed ride using the trackless car system they've installed in their overseas parks.

Tower of terror might be the best ride at all four parks. I almost want them to do an interactive queue like they've done with Haunted Mansion, but the queue is so damn awesome already with all the Twilight Zone easter eggs even if you can't touch them.

Hold up...

Can you take a drink... From the bar... INTO the movie??

He's been watching Star Wars trailers... since way before anybody paid him to watch Star Wars trailers...

We lost last year because Brewer gave the game away with three picks. So I'm more concerned over how Lefty is going to scheme for GT.

The storyline development was what I was talking about. It became pretty clear he had no clue how to end it.

He developed and directed both Trek movies like they were Star Wars movies, so I figured he'd do just fine with Episode 7. JJ's only real deficiency is actually ending a narrative arc. (Final season of Lost, anyone?)

Wiles has always rubbed me the wrong way in interviews for just that reason. But he is definitely the right DL coach for Bud's scheme. History speaks for itself there. I will say, I think Wiles won't ever transition well to a DC role if he maintains that tendency. People talk about how Bud would be a gruff HC, but making Charlie Wiles a face of a program could be disastrous from a PR standpoint.

The internet really killed Hollywood Studios, IMO. When it opened, it was pretty cool to go "behind the scenes" and see how movies are made. But now with fan sites and internet leaks, there's no such thing as movie magic anymore.

I want to see Disney rebrand that park as fan experiences for Disney's favorite franchises. Star Wars and the Marvel universe are my big two. I want a drink in the Most Eisley cantina, dammit.

The Ewoks had obviously been planning an attack on the Imperial base for a while. They just took the arrival of the rebels and their "god" C-3PO as a sign it was time to launch it.

Or are you saying you don't think those logs would have actually crushed a walker?

I don't think he's saying Wiles is a bad coach, but rather that he lacks an important characteristic good coaches should have. Almost nobody has the perfect skill set for their job, and being deficient in one area doesn't make you bad at it if you excel in others.

And apparently the relationship between R2 and BB-8 is modeled after these guys :

Could be really funny if done right.

I think that got dumped in to the "Legends" universe. No longer canon

And for the love of God could we please get a full Star Tours expansion area at Disney Hollywood Studio themepark?

This is definitely my hope.

My fear is that the improved performance by the TEs doesn't translate immediately in recruiting, we see a drop-off in performance at the position after Malleck and Hodges leave, and their contributions are seen more as their own abilities as players, rather than an increased focus on the position in our new system, leaving us without any discernible advantage in recruiting and lacking talent in a fundamental spot in Lefty's scheme.
