For the Star Wars fans, the New Jedi: Fallen Order Trailer just dropped ... probably to coincide with tomorrow's merch reveals:

The game is still looking good. I don't even need it to be amazing ... just give me a decent story and some fun single-player gameplay!

It's one of my favorite parts about being in both WWOHP. The background music is definitely an enhancement and an emotion trigger.

I think what really makes it too is it helps keep you feeling like you're in the land when the crowds are trying so hard to take you out of it. Though it sounds like that wouldn't be a problem at Galaxy's Edge currently....

It's ok. This is just the preview for the merchandise drop on Friday.

I'm kinda 50/50 on whether pumping the actual music that we all know throughout the land would have thematically worked. Honestly I think there's too much open space for it to have truly worked for me. Yes the sounds of the busy port-style place got old after a while but I'm not sure hearing the main score throughout the whole land would have worked either given the design of the space. I do think there could have found a place for that music somewhere. Maybe as you get closer to the front of the queue for Smuggler's Run? (maybe they'll do something for that for Rise of the Resistence who knows).

In terms of theming there's less dead-space IMO in both Pandora and Harry Potter that it feels so much different. That's purely opinion based.

I don’t think they need main theme blasting throughout the land, but the way the land is currently it does not feel alive like it’s meant to. I do think the main score would be perfect for entrance to the land but beyond that it’s overkill. But music isn’t the land’s real issue.

No it's not the real issue and I am not sure I would want the main theme playing but they have so much music to work with throughout the different Star Wars medium from the movies to the shows and the video games. Surely some of it would really create an ambiance for the land.

In some of the marketing material for Galaxy's Edge it mentions there being a Local Radio Station being played - is that not happening?

In the book Black Spire Outpost there is reference to a radio that is played over speakers in the market place that you can hear - maybe they should just do that ... have some music and then occassionally hear the DJ/Host talk about stuff ... maybe even have like fake advertisements / promotions announced

And then in the Resistance Area have it be more tranquil with more animal sounds and stuff

Honestly they might have had a radio station going for some areas it just must have not caught my attention for me to really remember . I def. heard the ships coming and going sounds, and other clinking noises and such. I'd have to ask my husband if he remembers a radio-station noise going.

The highlight---Oga's music. Like I really dug that lol and the thumping noise right outside the entrance of Oga's worked really well IMO. I got an e-mail about being able to listen to the music on various streaming platforms about 10 days ago--haven't played it yet but thought it was cool that you could.

Rumor I read said it would be closed after New Years and back up for Spring Break and we get the DL updates as part of the 50th refresh...again it’s only a rumor.

Thanks. We’ll be there early March. I was afraid you’d say that.

Can’t say I heard that if it was there. Beyond the music in the Cantina, the land is very quiet. Watched the fireworks in Disneyland next to the Falcon and it was just dead silent the entire time, made for a very odd show (there was no music no clapping no oohs and ahhs). There are some sounds scattered around, but it’s very minimal, nothing like Pandora’s forest life.

Yes, I could hear something like that when I was in the restroom. Plus there are sounds of ships taking off and landing, and the droids make noises. I didn't find the land quiet at all.

Maybe they meant radio transmissions from the comm towers that are around the land? Because those I definitely heard, plus on the datapad you could "hack" the towers and download transmissions as part of your jobs.
