Ohhh Indy, please don't disappoint me here.

Out of everyone in the Ahsoka trailer... I'm most excited for Chopper.

I might have squeed out loud like a 12 yo girl at Hera

Super excited for more Rey! Also, will this be the first Star Wars film directed by a woman?

I feel the same. I felt lukewarm about many aspects of the most recent trilogy, but I really liked the Rey character and thought Ridley was great. Excited to see something new about her

I think that fleshing out a lot of the story around the ST will make fans like it better in the long run. I didn't really have any problems with it, though I can see where there are some gaps. The just crammed so much in! I'm not the type who needs everything spoon-fed to me, but I also keep up with some of the printed material casually, and that helps solidify some things too.

Love that complete Indiana Jones trailer. getting more excited about it now. Wasn't sure before, but I think it's going to be good.
I like a lot of the sequel trilogy, except ep 8, and Rey became one of my favorite characters. Very happy that they will continue her story.
Ahsoka looks incredible! So beyond excited about that. and seeing all the Rebels characters again, and Thrawn, and whomever these new dark characters will be.

Is this an April Fools joke? Or am I buying an IONIQ 5?

I enjoyed the sequels for the most part though I wasn't crazy about some of the writing choices with Finn especially, there was a lot of wasted potential that I think is ripe for Filoni type exploration. And I really believe that aside from the bigots, people will generally come around on these films just like they did on the once equally despised prequels when we got Clone Wars and whatnot to flesh them out, fill in gaps, etc.

I finally saw all of Rebels recently and fell in love with everyone on it and I'm so happy Ahsoka seems to be Rebels: The Sequel. I know they were heading that way given the way that show ended and her appearances on Mando but I'm still so excited.

I actually caught the Good Morning America segment they did this morning on it just as I was leaving the house and Imagineering worked with the Hyundai design team. Maybe I just huff too much pixie dust but I kinda want to go to the auto show to see it in person, it seemed cool.

Daisy Ridley comes out for the announcement that Rey will lead the building of a new Jedi Order in a new Star Wars film directed by Sharmeen Obaid-Chinoy.

This just doesn't make me excited at all.

I honestly only wish that Rebels: The Sequel was animated. Being live-action does not "legitimize" it any more than it already is. We could have all of the original cast if it were animated.

My husband really likes the IONIQ but I don't. Then I saw this post the other day, sent it to him and said "Okay, I cave, we can get the IONIQ". Luckily, he didn't even look at what I sent him and just replied "I knew you'd come around"! Mhuahahah! The car will be mine!! (probably not though, but, he did say we could get it so...)

Edit to fix typo

So long! Man, I though they'd have more of it done.

We already have an electric car (VW ID.4) and love it, but our lease is up early next year so maybe we'll get an IONIQ 5 instead of another ID.4 for the next lease! I wonder how limited it will be. I like the design a lot.

So happy to see that they are moving quickly to remove the eyesore.

Disney World Improves Navigation for Mobile Order Within My Disney Experience
As part of a recent update to the My Disney Experience app, Disney World has, in our opinion, greatly improved the navigation within the Mobile Order experience. While the update doesn’t change anything in terms of the order and check-out flow, finding and navigating to a Mobile Order-eligible location has improved.

Mobile Order Improvements​

In the most recent version of the My Disney Experience (and Disneyland) mobile apps, guests will find updated navigational information and menus as pictured below.
First, select the “+” on the bottom center of your screen, and choose “Order Food”. A newly updated page will organize the Mobile Order-eligible locations along with some useful filters and accordion menus. The newly improved Mobile Order location selection screen can be seen below.

A colorful accordion menu collapses eligible dining venues into groups based on location. When opening a particular location, you will be presented with the eligible dining venues and the soonest available time to pick up your food.

If you’d like to navigate by map, you can tap on the small map at the top of the screen to bring up a full-page map to navigate to your dining location of choice.

The most popular filters are available at the top of the screen, including the quick selection of food pickup time – either “As Soon As Possible” or “Schedule for Later”. You can see how those filters affect the presentation of arrival windows in our screenshots below.

More robust filters are available by clicking on the “Filters” section just below the map. Here’s a look at the full filters list.

Once you select a dining location, the food/drink selection and check-out flow is the same as it was before.

There are rumors that we'll get a live action Jacen (Hera's son), but I didn't catch anything in the trailer.

When am I going to get my live action Aphra already .... really hoping an older version as a guest on something like Skeleton Crew
