Star Wars Galaxy's Edge at Disneyland Resort in California is now home to three new free-roaming two-legged droids.

The droids made their debut today, and in this video from X user Disney Dan Becker, we can see them in action at Black Spire Outpost.

Adding more droids brings Galaxy's Edge closer to the original concept that we were introduced to when the project was first announced in 2015. The land was meant to teem with alien life forms, including droids and other characters.

No word yet on how long they will be around for or if they will make it to Galaxy's Edge in Walt Disney World.

You can see more of the characters in development in this Walt Disney Imagineering video.

Is it really that bad? I thought the trailer looked fun, but then again I am not a SW purist. I watch about anything including all the fan films on YouTube. Some are quite good. I love some, like some, and hate some.

It will be compared to other movies on the streaming charts. The question will be if people waited to see it on streaming or if they moved on. Both are bad for Disney, but one is worse.

Yeah, they'll put it on Disney Plus, and it will play like a couple of episodes of the series.

Yeah, not good. The only hope left to flipt the script is for it to do big numbers on streaming.

Yes Yes and… I wasn’t dismissing inflation, but saying if we’re bringing this into the mix I want to point out how astronomical Solo’s production was post inflation. Of course, this isn’t terribly relevant as you say. It really wasn’t meant to be so dissected.

I read your post as rejecting the relevance of #2 without adding the burden of production costs #3, am I getting that wrong? I didn’t mean to start anything honestly and was only making the above points - I don’t want to fan the circularity. If your intent was instead to "yes and" the relevance of inflation adjusted box office - affirming all 3 points - that was not explained clearly. In any case, for our discussion on how the films may impact the parks, I find the number of people going to see the films a more relevant metric than the amount prices have increased or bloated production costs at Lucasfilm. More important than perhaps any of these metrics however, may be the merchandise performance, and anecdotally it does seem as though Grogu will do healthy enough numbers to keep them prominently featured for the foreseeable future

Yes its dropping on its 2nd weekend inflation or no inflation, we'll see how the rest of the run does, will it still make back its budget, we'll have to wait and see.

With no inflation - @MistaDee @Disney Irish

If you don’t want to have a pointless argument on this website, it’s best to just not say anything, especially if you’re right.

Yup, I knew exactly what I was doing and explained so upfront. In raw dollars it had a better opening weekend. In ticket sales or inflation adjusted dollars it was worse. As a production, it performed significantly better fiscally; probably the most disparate factor of the lot by a wide margin. I didn’t mean to start anything honestly and was only making the above points - I don’t want to fan the circularity.

Just to show you I'm engaged in good faith here I'm going to expand on this point. I see your point-of-view on this and why you think its introducing a new conversation, and why you think its moving goal posts. However as said many of us have had this same conversation many times over the last decade, and its all lumped into a single conversation for many of us. So this is why its all part of the same thing for me. Yes just looking at raw numbers can be misleading, but so can looking at inflationary numbers which I think even you agree with. It all depends on what you're trying to accomplish with said numbers. In the end, looking at Mando vs Solo, I think its really what narrative one is trying to push. As I think too many are trying hard to diagnose this as some continued indictment on the overall SW franchise. And as I said previously I think it really should be viewed separately away from that, and that Starfighter next year will be more the barometer of where things sit with the franchise. As that will be the first new SW film in 50 years not tied to the Skywalker Saga.

I have engaged in good faith, we just disagree and have different points of view. It should be ok to just disagree without calling into question whether someone is discussing something in "good faith".

If you're not able to engage in good faith, I am more than happy to end our dialogue here

So your argument would be that by introducing inflation adjusted numbers, I have shifted the goal posts? Let's be precise with our language so no meaning is lost. The "goal posts" remain the same: which film had a more successful opening weekend, I'm simply arguing that to compare nominal dollars is a flawed analysis. Introducing production costs to a comparison of opening weekend box office numbers on the other hand, introduces an entirely new metric for success - thus moving the goal posts I follow all this, I'm just pointing out that while they may be mistaken looking only at raw dollars, their original point stands when we make the adjustments This is where I disagree, while Penguin may be factually accurate, comparing nominal dollars to a question of opening weekend success is misleading in the context of the original post, which was my entire reason for jumping into the discussion at all
