I'm guessing you are from a different generation than I ! Most people I know from my generation are not big fans of 1, 2, and 3. I'm in my late 50s.

I’m 52. You guessed incorrectly. I saw the OT in the theaters and remember it well. I love the politics and Anakin’s descent. If you watch the Clone Wars (trust me, not for kids), it makes the prequels heartbreaking and makes A New Hope a tragedy.

 

[SkyGuy]

Oh, yeah, I also love Clone Wars/Rebels/Bad Batch! It's all actually my favorite Star Wars of all!

Rogue One and Rebels forever!

The surprise Disney + Star Wars movie they showed in theaters last Friday was Rogue One. My son and I happened to be in Disney Springs and watched it in a sold-out theater with several people dressed as Jedi. It was glorious.

To some extent, this is true but definitely not always. Love the OT. Saw them in theaters as kids. I like to think we raised our son right. He watched them in theatrical release order. However, he still loves the prequels Each to his own, I guess. Although, I guess OK pizza is better than no pizza. Hopefully though, there is a something for almost everyone in Star Wars, and we can agree to disagree. Can't we all just get along Not saying anyone in this thread was being negative or argumentative. Well, not most of us, you included. Why did Marvel fans not call for Feige's head after Thor 2 or Eternals? Neither of which is really as bad as some people portray them. It's only some Star Wars, and some DC, fans that get so emotional over it.

I am younger but still in the OT Generation too. I was in college when The Pahntom Menace came out. I loved it! In fact, everyone I knew loved it too until the Internet happened....

I thought I would hate Clone Wars, but surprisingly loved them! Prequels too. Well except Jar Jar (lol) . I never in a million years thought I'd get so into CW cartoon series and now Bad Batch. Rewatching Rebels again is on my to do list...eventually lol

I'm so psyched for upcoming D+ shows.

My kids kept trying to get me to watch CW during the first few season, and I kept refusing. I finally watched about four years ago, and I loved it! I may or may not have seen it several times since then. If we get an Anakin/ObiWan flashback wearing Clone Armor in Kenobi my life will be complete. Ezra/Thrawn/Sabine in Ahsoka will be up there, too, maybe some Hondo thrown in. He’s a survivor. I’m very excited as well!

Can you put a Disney giftcard in there?

 

[HokieRaven5]

Can you put a Disney giftcard in there?

There isn’t a way to keep a Gift card linked for this directly just yet I think.

The main method would still be to go to the front desk and put gift cards onto your account so you can charge to your gift cards that way. The one downside to that is, if you have a remaining balance from those gift cards after your trip you could forfeit the remaining balance on that card. For reference here’s one of the Plan Disney Responses to it from last year Here
