**Official** Star Wars at DHS, Galactic Spectacular Dessert Party/Galactic Nights/Launch Bay/JT

[yulilin3]

Saw.the fireworks last night and they were wonderful! It was a long wait without much to do because of all the early closings but it was so worth it!

We also loveD the added scents to ST.

The only 2 attractions that close early are TSMM and GMR, other than that all other attractions are open until park closing

Watched the movie for a 3rd time yesterday (regular D ) it's Stephanie's 4th time, at Disney Springs, with my sister (not a fan of SW tried to watch Episode I and fell asleep) and 9 year old nephew (doesn't know much about SW but likes some characters) and they both loved it, my sister actually thanked me for convincing her to watch it she thought it was very entertaining.
Still a bunch of people in the movie theater watching for the first time, you could tell when they would clap, cheer and gasp at all the pivotal moments. I'm really trying to get on board with Kylo Ren as a villain but I just can't

He doesn't work for me either.

I'm so excited to get to meet some SW characters without going to SWW and the fireworks sound cool too! For the night of March 11 when we will be at DHS, the WDW site says F! is at 7:30, park closes at 8:30, and emh are 8:30-10:30. It does not list the time for the SitS yet, but according to your posted list it would be at 8:30. If we go see F! do you think we'd have time to make it out and to a good spot to see SitS? While we love F! I would skip it to see SitS. Thanks!

yes you would have time to make the fireworks, as long as there is 30 minutes between the ending of F! and the start of the fireworks you'll have time. I always say to give yourself about 15 minutes to exit the theater and get yourself to Hollywood Blvd, from there you can stay at Hollywood Blvd or go to the Echo Lake area. If, by any chance, they add a second F! showing, after the fireworks, go to that one as it will be less stressful.

The weather is looking great for the first night of the Dessert Party (thanks again @soniam ) high of 65 and 0% chance of rain. A full report on that with pictures to come
On the other hand the last day of Osborne lights (tomorrow) doesn't look that great, 80% chance of an all day rain event

Does anyone know when Star Tours will return to random sequences? I have a FP for it today, but am getting over the flu and am worried about riding. I really want to see the new scenes. We are back in late January, but don't know if it will be random by then. Tia!

ODS and I went for a second time yesterday. We saw regular 2D the first time, did 3D IMAX yesterday. I actually preferred 2D. I felt like the 3D looked too computer generated/fake. IMAX is great though!

I'm really trying to get on board with Kylo Ren as a villain but I just can't.

You know, after watching another time, I'm not entirely sure he will end up being the main villain. I feel like they will build up some of these others, General Hux especially, to be the true bad guys. OTOH, I did notice something this time that I didn't the first which seems to say he is the main bad guy...or they are being tricky. Ahhh, just release the next one!

Oh yeah, I was also going to say that the 9am showing on New Years Day was not full. There were about a dozen of us in a theatre that probably sat 300 lol. Maybe try a before noon showing if you're having trouble.

OK, it's January 2nd so I'm going to talk freely about the movie. Hope that's okay with everyone -- I think we said by the 1st of year, it would be okay. I agree, it's hard to get on board with Kylo Ren as the main bad guy, but after seeing it the second time, he's growing on me a little more. Killing Han made him a little more believable. Just a side note, the morning of the 18th when I saw a spoiler on Twitter, it was a retweet from CNN from CNN Financial about something completely unrelated to entertainment. I foolishly scrolled down to read the comments and the first one just says, "HAN SOLO DIES". Ugghhh, I was so mad! I didn't even look at Twitter until after I saw the movie the next day. So, needless to say, I knew what was going to happen on that bridge w/ Han and Ben. One thing I can't figure out (although, I'm sure I could Google it), but why in the battle scene with Rey did Kylo Ren keep hitting himself on his wound? What are you thoughts that Snoke could be Darth Plagueis (that Palpatine describes to Anakin)? I don't think Rey is Luke's daughter for a lot of reasons. Thoughts? Sorry, I've been wanting to discuss for a while!

Some people, and I am one of them, when I hurt myself I will hit it or hit a different part of my body. It lessons the pain a little and gets me focused. Yes I am strange, just ask my daughters.

 

[Good Morning Dewdrop]

I have 2 questions from the movie - so don't read any further if you haven't seen it!!!

Why did R2 go into low mode or whatever when Luke left (one would think to save battery or something but C-3PO is still going strong so why would R2 have to conserve?) and why did he suddenly 'wake' up? I would have thought maybe he'd 'turn on' when the other part of the map appeared (earlier in the movie) or maybe when Rey was around (having the force?) it just seemed Random that he 'woke up' when he did.... Also I'm of the belief that the last 2 characters that you see in the movie are in fact parent and child (being vague in case someone accidentally reads this)

I think Kylo hits himself to feel the pain and get enraged.
I also don't think Rey is a Skywalker at all, and would want her to be a separate family, when Maz says to her "you know that the people you are waiting for are not coming back" that means to me that her family just abandoned her for whatever reason. Maz also says to look to the future. When you see her flashback she's a girl, about 6 years old, she would know if Luke was her family by that point right?
I don't like going through so many theories, I have already heard so many. I like to just go with the movie. Snoke is Plagueis would be a good twist but isn't it that there are always only One Master and one Apprentice...if Snoke was still alive somehow that wouldn't work since Sidious had Maul, then Dooku and then Vader

I will say the only thing I would love to know is who is the old guy at the beginning.

According to my son's books DO Readers 1 Star Wars the Force Awakens New Adventure by David Festina and DV Star Wars the Force Awakens Visual Dictionary, he is Lor San Tekka, an explorer and long time real ally.

Oh my, you all are discussing! I've been lurking since we saw the movie Christmas eve, still in mourning. so much so we are redoing our downstairs and I added a Han frozen in carbonite Fathead to our design.
I am stumped on the Luke connection. Is the force just really strong with Rey then? Can't wait to see the stories develop...

Times Guide for next week. The dance party has been renamed "Adventure Happens Here" dance party.

I took it as R2 was "depressed" (as depressed as a droid can be), hence, the low mode. I guess he came out of his depressed state once the Starkiller Base was destroyed.

I think Kylo hits himself to feel the pain and get enraged.

I also think Kylo Ren hits himself to get himself angry, but my 8 year old seems to think that there is more significance to it by showing the blood on the snow -- I'm not so sure about that, though.

Reasons I don't think Rey is Luke's daughter:

1. TOO OBVIOUS
2. Like you said, she was old enough when she was abandoned in Jakku to know something.
3. As strong as Leia's intuition was that she knew something had happened when Ben killed Han, I would think she'd also have the intuition to know her own niece.
4. I think Ben/KR would know his cousin, or at least have the "sense" to know know her from somewhere.
5. If Jedis aren't supposed to fall in love, I think it would be lame that they have Luke repeat what his father did.
