Star Wars Bits: Arcade Cabinet Game For Sale, More Galaxy’s Edge Details, The Mandalorian, And More
In this edition of Star Wars Bits:
I thought I knew nearly everything there was to know about Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge from the extensive coverage here on /Film, but even though Peter mentioned in one of his videos that there’s an in-world radio station which you may hear in the restrooms, I had no idea how deep that rabbit hole went.StarWars.comsays thatPablo Hidalgovoices the DJ in that galactic broadcast, there’s a Wookiee shampoo commercial – and there’s even more, too:
“Not only do we have commercials, we have this podcast we call the Hutt hour,” says [Margaret]Kerrison, [managing story editor for Walt Disney Imagineering]. “There’s this protocol droid having droids call in for their various needs. We have a podracing sequence, and a holochess tournament going on somewhere on Batuu,” she adds, narrated by the hushed tones of a whispering commentator. “All of these things to build this rich tapestry of the culture of our land.”
That is awesome, and I love how details like this continue to elude even people who have been to the new expansion a dozen times already. What else don’t we know about Galaxy’s Edge?
