EE just shipped my Jaina Solo. She so should have been Rey in TFA.

The VR experience Star Wars: Secrets of the Empire opens at The Void in Down Town Disney at Disneyland Resort this week. It's a virtual reality experience where you were VR goggles and a computer backpack and shoot stormtroopers.

Here’s how the VOID explains the story:
“Under the orders of the budding rebellion, your team will travel to the molten planet of Mustafar. Your mission is to recover Imperial intelligence vital to the rebellion’s survival. Alongside the pragmatic droid K-2S0, your team must navigate through an enemy facility walking into danger at every turn. Disguised as stormtroopers, grab your blaster, solve puzzles, and fight giant lava monsters in an effort to fulfill your team’s orders.”

Since we can expect a new Star Wars movie every year for the foreseeable future does this make a new Star Wars movie opening  special? We use to have to wait 3-4 years for a new movie and wait ten years for a new trilogy. Each release felt exciting and new. Now we will get a new movie every year. Each one will be hit or miss in quality and how well it does in the theaters. As for toys, we only get a wave or two major characters now instead of weird background characters.  What are your feelings on this? Do you like watching the trilogy movies or the anthology movies? Will one be better than the other? is that feeling of "special" still there?

Good bye Dr. Evazan.

I'm more excited to see this anthology movies than the trilogy stuff. The whole Star Wars thing every year takes the specialness away from it. At least we can get new original stories this way. Of course the neck beard fan boys will hate it.

The Death Star could have hyperspaced to be in range within the moon of Yavin instead of orbiting around it. The Empire could have landed the AT-ATs next to the shield generator and blew it up. The Emporer could have blown up the shield generator once the Death Star was active then turn on the rebel ships. The movie wouldn't have a story or be as much fun if these things happened.

Yoda was a physical puppet in this one. He was a little strange looking though. A cg Yoda would have been better. Frank Oz did the voice but not the puppetry.

Super Leia in space was done before in Guardians of the Galaxy when Star Lord rescued Gamora. He lived. Leia has the Force and used it to save herself.

What was with the last scene with the kids and the "you can join the Rebellion too" vibe? I'm not sure the point of the children on Canto Bight. I guess Disney needed to show that kids can help the Rebellion too.
