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

[msmama]

I think the thing I love the most about this new SW is that basically ANYTHING can happen and it will be both a surprise and not so much a surprise at the same time!!

I really hope that Rey is related to someone. I feel like introducing a new family into the saga is just kind of cheating at this point!

DH and I just now finished watching TFA - take 2 - and in 3D. I consciously looked for R2-KT and sadly, still couldn't find her. Has anyone actually found her without reading any tips ahead of time?

And, I also made note of watching Rey's flashback scenes. She looked much younger than 4 years of age so she wouldn't have been in the Youngling grouping. Her "family" wanted her to be raised without any knowledge of her force sensitivity.

I also now know why the new Jedi Training refers to those who are "force sensitive." That term had sounded like such a strange description when revamped Jedi Training began.

just saw a commercial on TV for DHS. They are really pushing the Star Wars Awakens tag line, the commercial featured Star Tours and the fireworks, maybe fireworks will stay after March, fingers crossed

Best. Party. Ever. Except we have to invite Adam Driver too. My first reaction to him was ehm, thats an...interesting looking guy there. It was not good. By the next day I loved him and had watched a dozen of his interviews.

K, you and Adam Driver can go sit in a corner together, I'll be sure to remove my favorite furniture Or else ask him to leave the lightsaber at home.

Ohh. Ohh. Can I be VP of the Oscar Isacc fan club?? I'm going to see it again (4th go round on this merry ride we're all on together)this Saturday at my local science center. 70 mm IMAX format. I'm so excited!!!

Im not so sure Rey is Luke's daughter either. There are lots of hints but something just doesn't fit for me. Time will tell.

Fireworks past March would be beautiful.

Sure! PM when you have time. I then won't be frustrated the next time we watch.

if Rey had never been on 'the' island why did she think/ dream about it (as extracted by kylo)?

Rey has to be Luke's daughter. There are about 20 hints, one of the bigger ones being when Maz went to hand her the lightsaber and said that it belonged to luke, and his father before him, and now it calls to you. That line would make no sense if Rey was some random girl.

I think what happened is that Kylo Ren couldn't bring himself to kill her when he killed the other apprentices, so he took her and dumped her on Jakku and she developed some sort of PTSD that blocked her from the force and blocked her powers.

Why else would Kylo freak out when 'a girl on Jakku' is mentioned. Why would he care about a random girl from Jakku unless he dumped his cousin there.

Having his nephew kill his daughter and all the other apprentices is the only excuse I can think for Luke to go hide from the galaxy. If for some reason Luke dumped Rey that would be character assassination for him and I couldn't like him anymore.

So I totally wasn't on board with Rey being Luke's daughter till I read this! This makes total sense...

The force can cause people to see things, so can drugs and alcohol In an episode of Rebels, Ezra is having a dream about what happened to his parents. He was never there or actually saw it. The force just allowed him to "see" it.

Episode 1, you have Anakin with dreams and visions. Continues next episodes as well. He sees Shmi being tortured by tuskans.

Even better! I guess we know what side I've chosen...

Is that the domed screen imax version? Because that would be amazing! My local one actually has warnings in case it causes motion sickness. They never play "regular movies" on it, more like Hubble and things with dinosaurs. Lol. So I just assumed typical movies would not translate to that big/shaped of a screen. Always thought it was a shame though! Especially something like SW. You would feel like you were actually in space.

here's the commercial

Have seen the commercial a lot the past few days. Gives me hope that they will extend the fireworks and things past the march time frame they have set up now.

wasn't someone interested in the BB8 MB

I watched the fireworks last night from Animation Courtyard. Sat at the planter outside of the store. No music pumped in. Instead, we clearly heard "Here Comes Santa Claus" among other Christmas favorites. It's really too bad because some of the best viewing was from back there. The fireworks are much more intense as they are shot off right from those buildings. And they were actually perfectly centered from where we sat.

 

[yulilin3]

too bad about the music but awesome pics with the posters @lovethattink

 

[yulilin3]

for the dessert party tonight, apart from getting pictures of the setup, area, desserts and drinks, do you guys prefer video or pictures of the fireworks? I'm only taking my good camera so cannot do both.

I would like video to see how the dessert party view differs from the other viewpoint that was used for the YouTube video that was posted by Inside the Magic.

It will help me determine where I'll watch when I'm there next month. I want to hear the fireworks audio that won't be masked out by other audio that's playing, although the shots by @lovethattink are great!

There were a couple times we could hear the SW music, but mostly just the Christmas. And the area we were sitting got crowded as people exited launch bay and stood right there. But I'm having problems with my right foot and had to sit. We're probably going to watch from there again tonight.

It was perfect viewing and the booms were super loud. Someone earlier had asked about that. The booms are quieter, but not by much, at Yulilin3's spot.

We sat along Echo Lake for the first night of fireworks and you could hear the music but it wasn't very loud and the voice overs were very hard to hear. But like your spot, it was a great view!
