I don’t know man. The final Joker trailer far surpassed the newest Rise of Skywalker trailer in views. I know several people who have been huge fans of SW that don’t even care about the newest movie....myself included. If they pull some dumb stunt in the movie like Rey goes back in time and becomes Shmi Skywalker, then I think that’s going to really damper any excitement I have for the ride.That’s fair. I just think saying Stat Wars as a property is dead is ridiculous.

Do they know that the Avengers ride won’t be there when they go next year though?I know more people excited for the generic looking Avengers Campus over Rise.

....and then they’re going to see how mediocre it is.Unfortunately yes. They think the Spider-Man attraction is the selling point lol.
It's the "GREED comes first" short term strategy, based on presenting quarterly financial reports to investors.It'd be like opening Hogsmeade without Forbidden Journey, or Diagon Alley without Gringotts. Why do they keep opening unfinished products? Disney's strategy is just so odd to me.
I understand its too late in the process to change this for Avengers Campus, but I think they'll find that they won't do this again. Its really mind boggling not opening your land fully. Even new Fantasyland didn't open with Seven Dwarf Mine Train if I recall correctly.It's the "GREED comes first" short term strategy, based on presenting quarterly financial reports to investors.

My main issue with Disney right now as a consumer is I don't really "trust" them. When they announce a project I have virtually no excitement anymore. Constantly promising you the world then failing to deliver on all ends with the final product. The lack of entertainment in SWGE is just appalling. Universal I'm sure has done this in the past too, but at least when they announce whats coming, it actually is what comes in the final product. Imagine if Uni announced Hagrid's and all their magical creatures, then we only get the Centaur and the Pixies. Thats what it feels like Disney is constantly doing now and it feels way too manipulative to me.
Im not sure no one will care, but it will certainly change the conversation. I expect Rise to deliver and I'll love it but we'll see where attendance goes from here on both coasts.The early opening could have been all in good intentions.
I think the general consensus was that Rise would open in December at WDW with the rest of the land.
Disney probably thought that the rest of the land would be ready anyway, so why not open it and start making money now. Obviously it has backfired.
In a years time, nobody is going to care of Rose delivers like it should.
Maybe Iger will tweet them?Im not sure no one will care, but it will certainly change the conversation. I expect Rise to deliver and I'll love it but we'll see where attendance goes from here on both coasts.
Its just weird with SWGE though, one of my best friends family travels at least once a year to WDW (they're quite rich lol) and they didn't even know another Star Wars ride was going to be opening later this year. Im frankly not sure how, but they weren't aware. Idk if this is the general consensus amongst guests visiting but it was an odd perspective.
