[Disneyland Park] Star Wars: Galaxy's Edge (31 mai 2019)

On peut se rassurer en se disant que les guests seront moins enclin à balancer ces bouteilles un peu plus "collector".. pour certains.. Mais ça reste pas étonnant ce genre de pratique, nous somme en pleine époque du greenwashing.

La différence c'est que les bouteilles plastiques sont totalement recyclables et les parcs sont déjà équipés depuis de nombreuses années de poubelles de tri.

Disney a annoncé en 2019 la suppression des plastiques non réutilisables et non recyclables: pailles, sacs plastiques, couvercles de gobelets etc...

Nouvelle démonstration de Hondo Ohnaka lors du panel Bringing Star Wars : Galaxy's Edge to Life at Disney Parks :



Un extrait de la musique composé par John Williams pour le land Star Wars : Galaxy's Edge révélée au cours du même panel :



Un extrait des talents de D.J. Rex fut également offert.

L'AA est impressionnant de réalisme ! Disney est vraiment en pointe dans ce domaine !

Ils ont recyclés un AA de Sparrow vu les dreads.

impressionnant dans les mouvements (variété, fluidité, rapidité mais un peu déçu par le visage et surtout tout ce qui tourne autour du mouvement des lèvres, je pense qu'on peut faire nettement mieux

On peut faire mieux pour les lèvres c'est sûr, mais plus c'est petit plus c'est sujet aux casses... Donc sur le coup ils ont peut-être préféré jouer la sécurité.

Moi ce qui m'impressionne le plus, c'est le retournement au début. On perd vraiment le côté "planté là" des animatronics avec leurs pieds et genoux fixes. C'est pas mal, à défaut de pouvoir les déplacer réellement comme Belle du futur dark-ride tokyoïte (ou à l'aide d'une mise en situation plus travaillée, mais bon).

Je trouve le thème de Galaxy's Edge sublime ! La petite touche orientale marche vraiment bien !
J'ai qu'une hâte, c'est d'avoir les audios du land (surtout les BGM) dans mon PC.

C'est vraiment génial que John Williams ait signé un thème dédié au land.

L'animatronique est très bien, mais je trouve le perso vraiment vilain. Par contre j'ai envie de croire que les lunettes qu'il porte sont le nouveau design des lunettes Dolby3D/Infitec pour SWGE. Je me sens bien seul, mais j'attends vraiment une confirmation de la 3D, au moins sur le Falcon (ROTR semble utiliser moins d'écrans qu'anticipé, alors j'y crois de moins en moins).

En tout cas ce live était exceptionnel.

Qui aurait pu croire à l'époque de Star wars : Un nouvel espoir et ses débuts difficiles, que l'on aurait tout un parc aussi bien thématisé et futur chef d'oeuvre des parcs à thème.

On peut dire ce que l'on veut sur la dernière trilogie, mais la clairement Disney rend hommage à toute la saga avec brio !

les images du land dans la vidéo sur la musique de John Williams sont hallucinantes. On pourrait vraiment croire ces images sorties d'un film. Mais non, tous les décors sont bien réels. Ce land jusqu'ici dépasse tout ce qu'on a pu voir à ce jour dans un parc.

Disney unveils ‘thermal detonator’ Coca-Cola bottles with Aurebesh logos coming to Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge  

The new Coke, Diet Coke, Sprite and Dasani bottles were revealed Saturday at the Star Wars Celebration convention in Chicago.

The Coca-Cola bottles sold in Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge at Disneyland will look like palm-sized thermal detonator grenades and will be emblazoned with logos rendered in the Aurebesh language used throughout the galaxy far, far away.

The new Coke, Diet Coke, Sprite and Dasani bottles were revealed over the weekend at the Star Wars Celebration convention in Chicago during a panel discussion about the new 14-acre themed lands coming to the Anaheim theme park and Disney’s Hollywood Studios in Florida.

“The design of this thing just looks cool,” Walt Disney Imagineering portfolio creative executive Scott Trowbridge said during the panel discussion. “Kind of thermal detonator-ish. It’s kind of awesome.”

The Coke, Diet Coke and Sprite bottles were designed to look like the spherical explosive weapons used by bounty hunters and stormtroopers in the Star War universe. The Aurebesh text designs mimic the look of the corporate brands, with the Galaxy’s Edge Coke bottle retaining the curve and swoop of the twin C’s in the distinctive Coca-Cola logo. The thermal detonator bottles retain their trademark color schemes — red for Coke, silver for Diet Coke and green for Sprite. The Galaxy’s Edge Dasini maintains a more traditional water bottle shape with a sleeker, futuristic design.

Five locations will serve food and drink in Galaxy’s Edge: Oga’s Cantina, Docking Bay 7 Food and Cargo, Ronto Roasters, Milk Stand and Kat Saka’s Kettle.



The goal of Galaxy’s Edge is to deliver an immersive experience that is authentic to the Black Spire Outpost village on the Star Wars planet of Batuu, the setting for the new themed lands.

“We saw that a lot of the things in Batuu were reclaimed and restored,” said Coca-Cola’s Matt Cooper, who worked on the design of the Galaxy’s Edge product packaging. “It was these metals that were sort of scraped and tattered. So we wanted something that almost appeared like it was pulled off of the ship or left behind and repurposed into something that you could consume some of your favorite drinks in.”



For the past three years, Coca-Cola worked closely with Imagineering and Lucasfilm on the look of the Galaxy’s Edge soda bottles to create a familiar yet different design that authentically fit into the Star Wars universe.

“We still wanted to add some visual cues that allowed you to quickly understand what it was that you were about to consume, but not so much that it took you out of the storyline and put you back into reality.” Cooper said at the conference.



The spherical “orb” bottles also recall the shape of Star Wars ball droids like BB-8. Disney and Coca-Cola are both listed on the patent of the proprietary cap.

Expect to find red Coca-Cola t-shirts with the Aurebesh logo for sale in Galaxy’s Edge. Fans attending the Star Wars Celebration panel received free T-shirts with the Aurebesh Coca-Cola logo emblazoned on the front.

Disney theme parks have a long corporate relationship with Coca-Cola dating back to the 1955 opening of Disneyland’s Refreshment Corner on Main Street, U.S.A.

Toydarian Toymaker: Step inside an interstellar toy store at Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge in Disneyland

Step inside the Toydarian Toymaker marketplace stall in Galaxy’s Edge at Disneyland and you’ll find a winged alien flitting around the back of her workshop amid toys, dolls, games and musical instruments inspired by the Star Wars universe.

Toydarian Toymaker will offer an intergalactic take on a toy store in the Black Spire Outpost village on the Star Wars planet of Batuu, the setting for the new 14-acre themed lands coming to the Anaheim theme park and Disney’s Hollywood Studios in Florida.

The whimsical and jumbled Black Spire toy shop will be located in a sunshade-covered colonnade of tiny vendor stalls inspired by the bustling marketplaces of Istanbul, Turkey and Marrakesh, Morocco.

Each of the shops in Galaxy’s Edge will have an extensive backstory created by Walt Disney Imagineering and a proprietor from the Star Wars galaxy.

The toy shop will be run by a Toydarian named Zabaka who creates artisanal playthings for Black Spire children, according to the store’s backstory. Zabaka makes dolls of Star Wars heroes and villains based on stories she’s heard from around the galaxy. The winged junk dealer Watto from “The Phantom Menace” was a Toydarian.

Visitors to the shop will see Zabaka’s silhouette through a frosted window as she flits around the back of her workshop with the help of Disney special effects.

Concept art of the shop shows a weathered awning haphazardly hanging over the entry and layers of Persian rugs on the floor. Star Destroyer and TIE Fighter models hang from the ceiling amid colorful planets. Toy versions of landspeeders dot the wall of the shop’s exterior. Miniature R2- and BB-unit astromech droids sit near the store entrance. A brightly-lit window gleams at the rear of the shop, offering a peek into Zabaka’s workshop.

The toy shop is expected to be cluttered with crates of toymaking supplies as well as some of Zabaka’s newest creations still in progress — including a Tauntaun rocking horse.

Want to start your own Star Wars cantina band just like Figrin D’an and the Modal Nodes?

Toydarian Toymaker will sell working musical instruments that look just like the ones played by the alien band in the Mos Eisley cantina during the original “Star Wars” movie.

You can play the instruments yourself or press a button to launch pre-loaded in-universe music like the infectious Benny Goodman-esque “Cantina Band #1” song composed by John Williams.

Shoppers can choose between the Kloo horn with the S-shaped mouthpiece played by bandleader “Fiery” Figrin D’an or the Fanfar clarinet played by band member Tedn Dahai. No word yet if the Toydarian Toymaker will carry the Fizzz, Bandfill or Double Jocimer instruments played by the cantina band.

Star Wars fans who prefer to play percussion can pick up an Ewok drum at the shop like the ones banged during victory celebrations on the forest moon of Endor.

A collection of plush dolls will include Zabaka’s rough estimations of Rey, Finn, Chewbacca, Yoda, Kylo Ren and even Watto based on stories she’s heard from around the galaxy.

On hot days, you can cool off with a portable misting fan that looks like the moisture vaporators used on Tatooine by moisture farmers in the original 1977 “Star Wars” movie.

The Black Spire marketplace stall will also sells chance cubes, sabacc cards and handmade collectibles.

The conceit of Toydarian Toymaker and many of the shops in Black Spire Outpost is that the items for sale are handmade by local merchants. Throughout Galaxy’s Edge, shops will downplay packaging and corporate logos to help make the merchandise blend in with the Star Wars surroundings.

“You’re not going to find the plastic toys here that you might find at a big box retailer,” said Imagineering portfolio creative executive Scott Trowbridge. “You’re going to find that everything on this planet feels like it was made by people on this planet for people on this planet.”

The plush toys sold in Toydarian Toymaker will be designed to look like the starfighter pilot doll made by a young Rey, the heroine of the latest “Star Wars” trilogy.

“One of our mantras is, ‘If doesn’t feel like it would be at home in a movie, it shouldn’t feel at home in the land,’” Trowbridge said.

I flew the Millennium Falcon: Disneyland ride operator describes experience on Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge attraction  

'If you think about it, it's only been Han Solo, Chewie, Lando, Rey and now me,' says Disneyland ride operator Mark Diwas.

Disneyland ride operator Mark Diwas is one of the few people —both real and fictional — who can say they’ve flown the Millennium Falcon, the iconic starship from the “Star Wars” films that will be a marquee attraction in the Anaheim theme park’s new Galaxy’s Edge themed land.

“If you think about it, it’s only been Han Solo, Chewie, Lando, Rey and now me,” said Diwas, 36, of Fullerton. “So that’s pretty cool to say right now until we open and then everybody is going to be able to fly.”

The Millennium Falcon: Smugglers Run flight simulator coming to Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge will put riders in the cockpit of the fastest ship in the galaxy as they battle Imperial TIE fighters during a mission to bring back a pile of loot for a vengeful space pirate. The new themed land will be set in the Black Spire Outpost on the remote planet of Batuu, located on the outer rim of the Star Wars galaxy.

Diwas never gets tired of talking about his intergalactic flight status aboard the biggest hunk of junk in the galaxy.

“I can say I am one of the few who has flown the Millennium Falcon,” Diwas said. “That’s something I love telling people.”

Diwas grew up watching the “Star Wars” films with his older siblings but wouldn’t call himself the ultimate Star Wars fan. He understands the passion and excitement Star Wars fans have for Galaxy’s Edge and the Smugglers Run attraction.

“We’re trying to make sure we get this right for the Star Wars fans who are going to be coming,” Diwas said. “We know how dedicated and how much they love the story. So we are doing our best to make sure when they come into Batuu for the first time it’s going to be something that they’re going to love. It’s a very big challenge.”

Diwas will be one of 1,400 Disneyland employees assigned to Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge when the new 14-acre themed land opens on May 31. Diwas will be a ride operator on Millennium Falcon: Smugglers Run, one of the most-anticipated new attractions in theme park history.

Diwas has been working in Galaxy’s Edge for a year in preparation for the grand opening. He is part of the Smugglers Run test-and-adjust team working with Walt Disney Imagineering. As the creative arm of the company, WDI dreams up and builds new attractions for Disney parks around the world.

“My role right now is to work with WDI,” Diwas said. “WDI will design and program the attraction and I will work alongside them to make sure that what they want the ride to do actually works.”

Every Disney attraction goes through hundreds and thousands of ride cycles before opening to the public. Disneyland has been testing Smugglers Run for months. Imagineering is using the Smugglers Run test-and-adjust period to fine tune every part of the attraction.

“If things don’t work, they’ll make some more changes and we will try to run the attraction again,” Diwas said.

During the test-and-adjust period, Diwas is also responsible for maintaining safety around the Smugglers Run attraction. His job includes clearing out construction workers and Disneyland facilities teams working in and around attraction so that the ride can be safely tested.

“I’ll take a walk around the attraction and see who’s working where,” Diwas said.

Working on Smugglers Run during the test-and-adjust phase has been “absolutely very exciting,” Diwas said.

“It feels very real with all the show lighting on and all the sound effects and background music,” Diwas said. “This has been a dream of many Star Wars fans for over 40 years now. People have been wanting to fly the Millennium Falcon for that long. People are going to be so amazed and in love with what they are going to be able to do.”

Diwas can’t wait for visitors to step aboard the Millennium Falcon and climb into the cockpit for the first time.

“I’m definitely going to be there standing inside watching the first guests come in and just see what that reaction is going to be like,” Diwas said. “I want to spend most of my day just standing in the ship watching people enter. It’s going to be amazing.”

The cockpit’s 200 buttons, knobs and switches will be fully functional and their implementation will directly impact each mission.

Each member of the six-person crew will be assigned a task. Pilots sitting in the front will navigate the ship through an intergalactic battle. Gunners in the center of the cockpit will fend off TIE fighter attacks. Engineers stationed in the rear must maintain the flight systems and repair any damage to the ship.

The biggest thrill of the journey: The pilots will get to make the jump to hyperspace by pulling back on the Falcon’s throttle lever.

“Wait until you do it for real,” Diwas said with a smile.

Disneyland employees working in Galaxy’s Edge will wear costumes representing the good guy Resistance, bad guy First Order or Black Spire Outpost villagers. Employees will be able to select from 80 combinations of mix-and-match costumes for the villagers’ wardrobe. Employees working on the Millennium Falcon attraction will wear villagers costumes paired with a bright blue vest and hat.

“Everybody is very excited that we can choose whatever we want, at least for the village,” Diwas said. “That’s really cool to be able to do.”

Galaxy’s Edge employees will also build a persona and backstory for themselves depending on whether they are dressed as a First Order officer, Resistance soldier or a villager with an opinion about the opposing factions in Black Spire Outpost. Diwas hasn’t had time yet to develop a persona for his role as a villager working in Ohnaka Transport Solutions, the shady intergalactic shipping company where the Smugglers Run attraction is set.

“I’m still learning what our story is at the attraction,” Diwas said. “I’ve been given little pieces about what our story is.”

Smugglers Run will be the fourth attraction Diwas has helped open at Disneyland and Disney California Adventure. His previous attraction openings included Finding Nemo Submarine Voyage, Luigi’s Flying Tires and the reimagined Luigi’s Rollickin’ Roadsters.

Disneyland will limit Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge visits to 4 hours during reservation-only ‘soft opening’

No stand-by visitors will be permitted to enter Galaxy’s Edge between May 31 and June 23.

Disneyland will restrict visitors with free Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge reservations to a 4-hour time limit during an initial “soft opening” period of the highly anticipated new themed land at the Anaheim theme park.

Disneyland has begun issuing reservations that will provide access to Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge during an initial 24-day soft opening beginning with the May 31 grand opening of the new 14-acre themed land.

Hotel guests who booked a room at the Disneyland Hotel, Disney’s Grand Californian Hotel or Disney’s Paradise Pier Hotel during the soft opening period between May 31 and June 23 began receiving emails Monday, April 22, with their reservation time to enter the new land.

Hotel guests will receive only one Galaxy’s Edge reservation for their group’s entire stay. Groups will be required to leave Galaxy’s Edge at the end of their 4-hour reservation period, according to the reservation email sent to visitors. If you leave early you won’t be allowed to reenter.

Disneyland will restrict access to Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge during an initial “soft opening” period to guests staying at the three Disneyland hotels and a limited number of theme park visitors with reservations to the new themed land.

No stand-by visitors will be permitted to enter Galaxy’s Edge between May 31 and June 23, according to Disneyland officials.

Galaxy’s Edge visitors will need a Disneyland ticket and a free advance reservation providing access to the themed land during the soft opening period. Galaxy’s Edge reservations are void if transferred or sold.

Each registered guest staying at the three hotels during the initial 24-day window will receive one reservation to Galaxy’s Edge. A limited number of theme park visitors not staying in one of the three Disneyland hotels will be able to make reservations for Galaxy’s Edge. Disneyland will limit the amount of time visitors can spend in the new 14-acre themed land during the soft opening period.

The reservation will provide access to Galaxy’s Edge and the Millennium Falcon: Smugglers Run attraction. The new land’s Rise of the Resistance trackless dark ride won’t open until later this year.

Disneyland will allow overnight lineups before the May 31 grand opening and the June 24 post-reservation date. The overnight lineups will be handled in a similar way to the queues that were formed for Disneyland’s 50th and 60th anniversary celebrations in 2005 and 2015.

No reservations will be needed to enter Galaxy’s Edge beginning June 24. Disneyland is developing a virtual queue system for Galaxy’s Edge that will allow visitors to wander around Disneyland while waiting to enter the new Star Wars land.

The digital system will issue a “boarding pass” that will provide visitors access to Galaxy’s Edge. Boarding pass groups will be permitted to enter Galaxy’s Edge as the land empties rather than at specified times.

Beginning June 24, there will no longer be any restrictions on how long visitors can stay in Galaxy’s Edge. While entry to Galaxy’s Edge will be controlled, visitors will be able to leave through any of the land’s three entry points.

New song from Star Wars cantina band is just one part of the complex soundscape at Disneyland’s Galaxy’s Edge

The cantina set list includes a B-side from Figrin D'an and the Modal Nodes, the alien bar band from the original 'Star Wars' film.

The music heard in Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge will play an important storytelling role in making a corner of Disneyland seem like an interstellar spaceport village and helping theme park visitors feel like intergalactic travelers visiting the outer rim of a galaxy far, far away.

“We are in the story,” Walt Disney Imagineering portfolio creative executive Scott Trowbridge said. “Orchestras don’t just pop out of ferns. So there isn’t really a background music track, but there is still music throughout the land.”

Visitors making the journey to Galaxy’s Edge will hear an ambient marketplace soundscape, alien cantina music and symphony orchestra pieces in the Black Spire Outpost village on the Star Wars planet of Batuu, the setting for the new 14-acre themed lands coming to the Anaheim theme park and Disney’s Hollywood Studios in Florida.

The Star Wars village inspired by the bustling marketplaces of Istanbul, Turkey and Marrakesh, Morocco will be different than Fantasyland, Frontierland or any other themed land in Disneyland that has its own background music soundtrack.

“This place is being occupied by real people — the people of Black Spire Outpost and the people that live on Batuu — and that doesn’t have a soundtrack,” said John Dennis, Imagineering executive creative director for music production. “You walk through any major city in the world — you walk through the souks of Marrakesh, you walk through Paris, you walk through London, you walk through Los Angeles — there’s not a soundtrack per se playing evenly and beautifully across the entire land.”

For 40-plus years, the visuals of the “Star Wars” movies have been inseparably connected to the musical themes and motifs created by composer John Williams. But those were cinematic universes of images and sound.

“The world of Batuu and Black Spire Outpost is different,” Dennis said. “We’re creating a place you’re going to. Part of what you’re there doing is creating your own story. You’re immersing yourself in this world.”

The challenge for Imagineering was to strike a balance between the desire to create an authentic Star Wars village and the need for theme park theatrics. The compromise: In-universe ambient music will play in Black Spire marketplace shops and a droid DJ will spin alien pop music in the local cantina while thematic symphonic scores will be reserved for attractions and shows within the land.

“There’s music that is just happening inside the marketplace like you would hear if you went to the markets of Istanbul or Marrakesh that feel at home in that place,” Trowbridge said.

Imagineering wanted Batuu to be just as important as any destination visited in the Star Wars cinematic universe and to have its own distinct musical motif, Dennis said.

“Places like Mos Eisley spaceport and the ice planet Hoth are right up there with Batuu and we’d like to have some original music behind that,” Dennis said.

The result: An original “Theme from Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge” piece of orchestral music created by Williams. Expect to hear the song in the Millennium Falcon: Smugglers Run and Rise of the Resistance attractions as well as during atmospheric entertainment performances in the land.

DJ R-3X, the former droid pilot from the Star Tours attraction known as Rex, will spin a cantina soundtrack described as Jawa meets new age meets 1980s pop.

“Rex is a radio DJ,” Dennis said. “So he’s pulling music from across the galaxy.”

The all-thumbs audio-animatronic droid will man a disc jockey console in one of the alcoves of Oga’s Cantina, the local watering hole in Black Spire Outpost.

“The music is fantastic,” said Imagineering executive creative director Chris Beatty. “It’s a weird sound, but it’s going to be so much fun.”

The Imagineering music team worked with songwriters, musicians, composers and producers from around the world to come up with the otherworldly mix of cantina tunes.

“The stranger the better,” said Imagineering managing story editor Margaret Kerrison. “Whatever instruments that you can come up with. Any household items or whatever that can have this very eclectic type of music. We want to hear that. And of course we have to have vocals that have alien lyrics.”

One of Rex’s favorite songs comes from an all-droid band prone to mistakes, much like the bumbling former Star Tours pilot, according to Trowbridge.

“We’ve created some amazing new music,” Trowbridge said. “It’s a Star Wars take on what pop music would be.”

Rex’s 3-hour set list includes a B-side from Figrin D’an and the Modal Nodes, the cantina band that played the infectious Benny Goodman-esque “Cantina Band #1” song in the original “Star Wars” film.

“Everyone loves that classic cantina sound that we’ve heard for 40 years,” Trowbridge said during a Galaxy’s Edge panel at the 2019 Star Wars Celebration. “We wanted to bring that to this cantina as well, but not that same song that we heard. We assume that Figrin D’an, they’ve probably got other hits. So we’ve got some other music that is in that same style.”

Want to join the cantina band? The Toydarian Toymaker shop in Galaxy’s Edge will sell toy musical instruments that look and sound just like the ones played by the Modal Nodes. Shoppers can choose between the Kloo horn with the S-shaped mouthpiece played by bandleader “Fiery” Figrin D’an or the Fanfar clarinet played by band member Tedn Dahai. You can play the instruments yourself or press a button to launch pre-recorded cantina songs.

Ils vont vraiment très très loin dans leur thematisation quand même !
