Im buying the steelbooks

I also have the regular blu rays

and the digital copes

@ me

 

[zoomin6]

I'm definitely getting the steel books. I've held off on getting the blurays for too long, I've been content with my DVDs of the prequels and vhs copies of the original trilogy..but it's time to finally get a bluray set.

Also, since the gentlemens agreement between Paramount and Disney is up with the release of Rogue Nation last week..how long do you guys think before we get a teaser or more casting news for Rogue One?

For Ep7 all I want is the official full length trailer..just one and that's it no more! I think D23 will be good timing for it.


Walter..

 

[niketalker23]

Yeah D23 should have Rogue One info.

 

[jaypesoz]

I guess they've started filming and looks who's back. Not really a surprise but actually seeing them live on-set brings out the feels.

It's from Ep. II. Most of it is CGI except for palpatine and the people around him.

But to compare, in the new Force Awakens frame other than those new Stormtroopers in a close up shot and Phasma with that group of black cloaked characters, everything is CGI as well. The difference being during EP II, CGI was still pretty new. Its come a long way.

 

[CP1708]

Those could be nods to the OG, all lined up on the Death Star. I doubt JJ cares for the prequels. (Tho I doubt he'd say anything negative about the them)

 

[mrsneakerman]

They dropped Knights of the Old Republic 2 for iOS in July. So upset I didn't play these when I was younger.

Hmm I might have to snag the second one. I wanna have a crew of dark jedi

 

[jaypesoz]

As a history buff, I loved how they're using banners in that shot. It gives it that authentic military feel.

A cannon-head Brontosaurus

Star Wars: A Bold New Land

But before we get to the new parking structure and its Harbor Blvd. sky bridge, we’ll fill you in on the latest headed to the parks themselves. Most obviously, that means Star Wars. The plans to add Star Wars to Disneyland have changed course and grown in scale rapidly since we first told you several years ago about the Tomorrowland proposal that would have wiped out Autopia. The plan for Star Wars Land has grown immensely in scale, and it’s now aimed squarely at the land north of Disneyland itself. Taking over the Festival Arena, the Circle D Ranch, Mickey’s Toontown and several rehearsal halls and office buildings just north of Toontown. The Circle D property, where all of the park’s horses, goats and other animals are kept will be moving off property to a new facility nearby, and the horses will then be trailered in for their 4 hour shifts pulling the Horse Drawn Streetcars on Main Street.

The rehearsal halls and offices north of Toontown would be moved over to the larger 160,000 square foot office building Disney bought last year at 1515 S. Manchester Avenue, which now houses a dental supply company. That building on Manchester is slated to be phase two of the Pumbaa parking structure, expanding its capacity beyond 8,000+ spaces after the first phase of 5,000 spaces opens in 2018, but in the short term it will become the temporary home of Disneyland’s displaced backstage buildings. The smaller building at 1585 S. Manchester will be demolished for the parking structure construction.

The majority of Star Wars Land in the northernmost park acreage will be inside a massive series of show buildings, meaning the land won’t have to close for fireworks fallout. The rides and shows in the land itself are being developed in a top secret Imagineering lab in Glendale with Imagineers signing extra confidentiality agreements because the plotlines and characters are pulled from the next three episodes in the Star Wars saga and the Lucasfilm folks understandably guard that information with their lives. But what we can tell you is that Star Wars Land will include multiple attractions, anchored by a mega E Ticket using a trackless vehicle that will break the mold when it comes to how theme park visitors interact with a ride environment.

In the shorter term, more Star Wars will be included in Tomorrowland by the end of this year. Another wild Star Wars Land chapter this year had plans change within a few short months and a plan to install a temporary nostalgia exhibit for Disneyland’s 60th Anniversary into Innoventions was shelved. The nostalgia exhibit (much of which will be on display at D23 Expo this weekend) was pushed aside when Bob Iger decreed that the parks needed to hype Star Wars – The Force Awakens that opens December 18th. The gutted Innoventions building will now house a version of the Star Wars Launch Bay interactive museum already announced for Shanghai Disneyland, plus a specially produced movie preview shown nearby at the old Captain EO theater.

Creating a temporary Star Wars miniland in the back of Tomorrowland, the additions are planned to open by Veteran’s Day weekend in November. The preview film will run through January, and Star Wars Launch Bay and a reinvigorated Marvel experience upstairs will operate there for at least several years. Star Wars Launch Bay will also morph into the official Star Wars Land preview center for the park once construction begins. It’s a safe bet that the Star Wars Launch Bay addition coming to Disneyland late this fall will be announced at D23 Expo, due to the tight timeline and imminent opening schedule.

One is on there too? I've played these both a million times. 2 wasn't as good, but still awesome. I wish we got a proper next gen sequel instead of the MMORPG.
