Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order (video game from EA) will release in Fall 2019.
https://variety.com/2019/gaming/news/star-wars-jedi-fallen-order-titanfall-fall-release-1203129479/

Given EA's record with Star Wars game I'm not holding my breath this actually gets released, let alone is any good... Total fail from that company for years.

Joe Rohde has had some great instagrams posts about themed environments recently. His Instagram is one of my favorites.

Yep ... basically every gaming outlet is in agreement on the dumpster fire EA/Disney gaming output. We're in a golden age of gaming with incredible stuff like God of War, Spider-man, Red Dead 2, Kingdom Hearts III etc ... and EA can't put out a decent Star Wars game that's not a loot box simulator. It does seem like Fallen Order may just be a rushed and incomplete title based on the lack of info and push for release for holidays 2019

Will Smith is just a vastly different choice than Robin Williams, which is what they had to do, but Aladdin succeeded because of Genie. Change Genie too much and you have a different film. I think it’s the better direction to go personally, but Will Smith also hasn’t been exactly reliable at the box office for a while. I think Aladdin and Dumbo (and probably Artemis Fowl) are going to be fighting an uphill battle.

Part of me wants to be excited for Artemis Fowl but the sensible side of me reminds how they absolutely butchered Wrinkle in Time soooooo

That's mean. He's had success since Lock Stock and Two Smoking Barrels. Snatch was OK.

I agree that Lock Stock is probably his best but I still personally love Snatch the best. I will say that I did enjoy The Man From UNCLE but I was familiar with the original so that helped.

It's extremely likely we are coming home from our next two Disney trip (DLR then WDW) with a bag full of bags. My DW hoards bags.

Fans and bloggers have been speculating since December when the initial trailer will be released. There was numerous rumors over the weekend that the initial trailer would be out during the super bowl and as we all know, didn't happen.

The rumored title "Balance of the Force" is very interesting. Supposedly this was one of the titles that Lucas considered for Episode I, but he decided to go with "The Phantom Menace".

Yeah, Balance of the Force has been around in the idea pool for a lllllllong time. Ancient Fear was another one

I hate the idea of losing trees and nature-y stuff but understand the need to continually think about traffic flow. None of us want to be in a bottleneck.

New drinks and mugs at Trader Sam's!

I know this is yesterday's news but I would really like to embrace a Sea Monster - Do we think this will migrate to WDW? It doesn't say, but they seem to carry similar mugs?
