News Round Up 2017

Not sure how the AT-AT walkers will end up playing out, whether in the the queue or in the ride itself, but I think Pete's point about them appearing to be completely static is an important one.

I'm also a bit worried about the scale on which they are being built. They do look large in terms of the scope of this project (14 acres), but they are still completely out of scale with how they are portrayed in the films (these are much, much smaller clearly, more similar to the walker currently outside of Star Tours).. I wonder how they will make these visually immersive for those of us who have seen Empire Strikes Back and the battle of Hoth scene more times than we can count. I know that this is a bit of a premature concern to have, but I am really hoping for a totally immersive experience and I can't help but think that they could have instead built nearly full scale AT-ST's to fit inside this building rather than shrunken AT-ATs.

I will withhold judgement though and keep an open mind obviously to see how this develops but it is something that has been bugging me a bit since this detail reveal.

I understand what your saying mate. Where they seem to be inside a building, I'm not going to worry too much yet and just hope that they are just perhaps part on an impressive queue

Size wise, I think they represent the size of them in the films. Look how tiny the workers in orange look next to them

The more I look at those pics, I do agree they do seem to be more to scale than I made it seem like, especially when you look at the size of the workers below. Definitely not worth worrying about though, still on cloud nine that this land has really started to make progress. Its an incredibly exciting/interesting time to be a Star Wars/Disney fan.

Internet sleuthing concludes that they are 28 meters high on screen. Using the people in the picture as a gauge they are about 15 meters high, so a bit over half height.
 

There are mixed reviews. Some items on the menu have been well received.
I truthfully haven't been in years (obviously not since the redo) but it's never really had a luster to draw me in either way. It's a chain restaurant and there's plent of other stuff at the Springs to get food from (probably going to Wolfgang Puck this year for the first time which is exciting)

From what I have seen the issue is that for most items there is a better version elsewhere in Disney Springs, often at a lower price point and the decor is all mismanaged and just not enough to draw you in - that said, the food appears to be better than before the rehab
