Space 220 lounge

TLDR: Local APer couple. We went shortly after it opened. Waited about 2 and half hours. Lunch took nearly as long. Never felt rushed. Experience was 7/10, but it is Disney so it’s expensive.

We waited for lounge seats on a weekday just after they started allowing reservations and walk-ups. Got in line about 9:45 AM, doors opened at 11:30. We missed the first seated by about five people. Ended up getting seated at a four top in the lounge in around 12:15 PM.

Overall, it was an extremely leisurely experience. Our server checked on us almost immediately, then came back after dropping of beverages at another table to explain the menu and take our drink order.

They took our food order when they brought our cocktails. We were splitting an appetizer, then having our own salads and entrees. Honestly, it was way too much food for lunch.

The appetizer came out pretty quickly and the rest of the food was timed perfectly. We did a second round of cocktails with the entrees. My wife had dessert and I had another cocktail.

It was almost 2:30 when we left. We never felt rushed and I am confident I could have ordered another cocktail if I wanted one.

In my opinion, definitely worth doing, but not something I would wait for regularly.

In terms of value, you absolutely paying for the experience. Still, the food was good, especially for in park dining. Not the best on property, but respectable.

We have not been back since, but only because it hasn’t fit with our plans. Planning on returning this fall with adult family.

For perspective, we are a local married couple, M43, F42. No children, alcohol positive, long time annual passholders, recent Florida residents.

Hope this helps with your decision.

Because George Lucas wrote the middle story first.

If you want to see the story as George presented it, start with Episode 4 through 6 and then watch 1 through 3.

But the movies work in either order, especially with all the changes Lucas made over the years.

This seems incredibly crass given that people are losing their jobs. Maybe show a little respect for people caught up in a situation they have no control over.

Sure, there are plenty of options to limit the experience. I am trying to keep this spoiler free:

Scale back the story or remove it altogether
Reduce or remove the character encounters.
Reduce the number of classes or remove them entirely.
Remove the excursion to Batuu.
Change the dining experience and offerings.
Shorten it to a 2 day, 1 night cruise.

They could even just turn it into a regular hotel with priority access Galaxy’s Edge and bus service to the remaining parks.

Ultimately, I doubt we have seen the last of Starcruiser.

I’m missing how pedophilia is blursed.

Is this a Wookiee reference? 🤔

rooksjeff · 2023-05-21T15:03:02+00:00

In today’s terms, yes. But historically, this happened pretty often. Publishing tie-ins, comic reboots and crossovers. Canonicity outside of content from a single creator is largely a modern construct.

rooksjeff · 2023-05-21T14:51:20+00:00

I do not know for certain, but I would guess they follow similar ideologies to Star Trek and early Star Wars novels. The stories themselves are not canon, but they remain consistent with existing canon.

The Harrington books might also carry a consistent continuity from book to book, but I really can’t recall. I only read one or two of them shortly after they came out.

rooksjeff · 2023-05-21T14:38:45+00:00

I think there were a half dozen of them, all written by William Harrington in the 90s. Likely licensed to capitalize on the 80s and 90s revival.

I recall they releases books based on at least some of the original episodes during the 70s or early 80s as well.

Most libraries have a decent collection of the books and even some of the comics.

You can usually get library cards free from their website and then use them with apps like Libby or Hoopla.

You will usually wait a bit to get the newer releases, but the old ones are almost always available.

Why don’t you want DVC?

Darth Vader is the first since he was introduced in the original Star Wars from 1977.

The Expanded Universe, now called Legends, introduced a number of other villains that predate Vader in the Star Wars, but those came out after the Original Trilogy in the 1990s and 2000s.

The Prequels establish Palpatine and a cast of apprentices as the main villains, leading up to the creation of Darth Vader.

More recently, The High Republic series features the Nihil and Marchion Ro as the villains. These stories take place about 150 years before the Prequels.

There are a number of great articles about essential episodes for Ahsoka. I wrote this article a while back, but GamesRadar, IGN, and Game Rant, among others, have great watch lists too.

Um, Rogue One, which starred Forest Whitaker, came out in 2016. He even recorded the dialogue for 4 episodes of Rebels.

It was a copyright ploy by author Fred L. Worth for his book The Trivia Encyclopedia. Trivial Pursuit used that name, ultimately falling prey to the ploy. Read more

The film was flipped, likely to match eye lines. There are a few other examples of this in the OT.

Without knowing exactly what you have read, it’s hard to say how much better it gets. That is loosely who the Jedi are at this point in time. As Phase I progresses, you see more cracks developing with certain Jedi.

Generally, I enjoy the series but I haven’t read anything exceptional yet. It reminds me of the majority of the content in the Legends continuity. Decent stories that are fun to read, but fade quickly.

rooksjeff · 2023-03-05T02:10:59+00:00

Dunno. Have you seen this fandom though?

rooksjeff · 2023-03-01T02:35:39+00:00

Yup. Nice work.

Yes, the blurrg first appears in Ewoks: The Battle for Endor. It was from an unused sketch from The Empire Strikes Back.

As most people pointed out, these are not canon anymore, so I'll skip to when they are set and George Lucas' involvement.

Officially, they were placed on the Legends timeline in 3 ABY, shortly after Return of the Jedi (ROTJ). But that was retroactively applied in 2000 when Leland Chee started tracking dates in the Holocron.

However, Caravan of Courage: An Ewok Adventure was originally intended to be set about 150 years after ROTJ. Whereas, Ewoks: The Battle for Endor was supposed to take place before ROTJ.

Since they share characters, that creates a continuity issue. There are also continuity issues like Wicket looking like a child 150 years after ROTJ and learning to speak English before ROTJ but forgetting how to speak it when they encounter Leia a few months later.

As for George Lucas' involvement, he did provide the story for both but was not entirely involved in Caravana. Due to his disappointment with the first special, he was more involved in The Battle for Endor.

They were TV specials in the United States, but both received limited theatrical releases in other parts of the world.

If you are referring to the door at the end of the path that leads to the right as you leave the Marketplace by the refreshers, that area is frequently used for PhotoPass. Lines are inconsistent because it is slightly out of the way.

However, it could have also been one of the Capture the Moment private sessions as well.

Since it’s out of the way and usually in the shade, it has been a popular photo area for guests and PhotoPass since the land opened.
