Nerds say its because she's "Indiana Jones and Rick (from Rick&Morty) mixed together"... Tumblr and Twitter say its because she's a feminist role model and a lesbian, except this bitch ain't a role model and hardly an LGBTBBQ ally considering that A: She's a Cunt and B: She killed two mutant gay dudes and tried to kill a tranny couple without a second thought (if she were straight, her woke fans would've thrown a shitfit over it and disavowed her) and even betrayed the Rebel Alliance just to get laid by a manly Imperial cyborg lesbo and thinks everyone is an idiot except for her. The main appeal seems to be that she's a "deconstruction of the SW universe" who makes a bunch of obnoxious and sarcastic quips (like making Deadpool-esque jokes and remarks every second and instead of saying "Force" she says "Void"), more so than anything Joss Whedon's ever made. Another appeal is that's she's every obnoxious twitter and tumblr soychugger's self-insert.
Her comic sales are in the gutter and I've posted their sales before. Only reason her comics even sold well at first was because she was briefly teamed up with Vader in his more popular comics.

lol they fucking don't. It's just shills looking for access, secretly employed people running socks, or tarded out babybrains on twitter who don't read that shit say they do. Her atrocious sales numbers ring this true to me.

But social media and our 250 30 and 20-something marketing majors say that people love wokness!
How could the focus groups and glowing media praise
Who ever called modern corporate culture "soviet" was right on the money.
Between Disney/Hollywood and the DNC I don't know who has the bigger and more tone deaf positive feedback loop.

Aphra was sort of fun in the Vader comics, and then right into the unfunny "god will she just go away already" ground almost as soon as she got her own series.

A preview of the Kylo Ren ride from D23 showcasing most of the key areas of the ride.
What is shown is exactly like how I described it in the leak I posted back on June 1st, almost word for word (yet no one talked about it on other sites...). So we already know what this ride will be like and its as slow as expected. The laser effects used in the video are purely for the trailer, as the actual blaster effects will be done in a far darker room since that's the only way they can work since they're basically lights reflected off mirrors. Unless they couldn't get that system to work (which was the hardest part of the ride to get working right after the trackless trolley) and thus replaced the lasers with the glowing red pellets.
the nu-Tantive IV that will start the ride.
It's very loosely based on the Tantive IV and corellian CR ships in general. Its overall appearance is more like the Tantive IV mixed with a plane and a nasa rocket with extra engines. The ship doesn't have a nickname or anything, its just called Resistance Intersystem Transport Ship.
And here's a pic of the real one under construction for size comparison. You have to be over 3 feet to ride.

Now to continue where I left off...
After reaching the cave, you will be recruited by Resistance soldiers and led inside for a long line in the Resistance base. The wait in line varies depending on the people but its long. As you walk through the overcrowded secret base, you'll see another nu-x-wing and a-wing, and a weapons room filled with weapons from the sequels. You will be led into a big chamber designed to fit 50 or so people. There you will be given a briefing that begins when an animatronic BB-8 activates a "hologram" featuring Rey who gives you your briefing and the mandatory "May the Force be with you" line. Poe then appears on screen in his X-Wing to give you a briefing.
You will then be led into the ship. There you will meet the only OT character in the damn ride, Nien Nunb, and for you plebs who don't know who that is, that's Lando's alien co-pilot in ROTJ. He's not a real person either, just another expensive animatronic. A simulation will start up like the one in Star Tours where you will travel through space with Poe escorting you. But something goes wrong, and get hit by heavy fire and your ship is then captured by the First Order. You then EXIT the ship from the same side you entered where you will find yourself in a large hangar around 100 feet tall with 50 animatronic nu-troopers, 2 nu-tie fighters and one of those big movie screens like in other parts of the park on one side to simulate outer space and it is about 100 feet large. You can't explore any of this though as you're taken prisoner. The ship is on a large turn table that spins very slowly to simulate movement and also so that you exit from the same place you entered. Once properly aligned, you prisoners will be strapped into a small trolley operated by this black R5 unit pictured here:
View attachment 781797View attachment 781899
There's two trolleys, as such it will be 16 people per ride. You will then be given a "safety briefing" and be sent to cell blocks to be processed. Gosh I hope there's exit signs.
Anyway, once that's over, on your way to detention you will enter this room.
View attachment 781802
As your trolleys enter the room, you will see BB-8 or a reasonably similar facsimile slowly rolling across that little bridge above the officer. As you're being processed, the droid will go to a panel on the other side and "hack" it to give the impression that he has secretly sliced into your trolleys and taken control of the droids. You will then be placed in your designated waiting cell to give the guys ahead of you a chance to do their run and the new 16 guys behind you to get into their cell.
Once that happens, you will hear loud blasts and blaster fire from outside. Knock Knock... its the Resistance. With huge ships (with guns). Gunships. Your cells then open and you're free. You will go down a hallway that has a mouse droid to lower your guard, afterwards you turn a corner and that's when you see the fucking emo lord himself, Kybo Ren who takes out his lightsaber, presumably because he's aware that you're trying to escape. He's not real though. He's an animatronic too. The trolley droid then freaks out and then goes in reverse and drives down the other corner.
Down this hallway is the only real interesting thing in this ride... You will go into a large very dark and misty room around 20 meters high. Inside are two AT-ATs (imperial walkers from ESB) that are around 35-40 feet tall.
View attachment 781819
My associate said they would be 60 feet tall according to what he was told but the image shows otherwise. Regardless, their heads are designed to move and look at you as you ride underneath them. These things are notable for firing two large "laser blasts" at the trolleys (which always miss obviously).
These laser blasts aren't real lasers or projectiles. They're an elaborate illusion created using literal smoke and mirrors in an elaborate setup. Let me try and explain how this shit works. The laser is just a light coming from the guns and other parts of the walls which is then reflected by numerous small reflective surfaces operated via mechanical appendages that will rapidly move with the lights and quickly retract back after their job is done so you don't see them. This same smoke and mirror technique will also be used in a brief blaster fight between the Resistance and the First Order later in the ride. Those firing the blasts will not be real soldiers as they have to be animatronics to ensure that their aim always aligns with the lights. Disney has a patent for this system, some pics of which I will now post for those of you interested in visual aid which includes one example of the system and a blaster.
View attachment 781830View attachment 781833
Overall its a neat system for what would normally be considered a simple illusion that really does create something fancy when setup correctly which is sadly wasted on this ride, although its not the first time Disney has used a system like this, previously using something similar for their Haunted House ghosts, so think of it like that but faster. The trolleys keeping you in place help to preserve the illusion so you don't see any flaws in the fire or see the appendages, but we won't know how well the end result will be until "later this year". I could go into further detail about this but I want to keep discussing the rest of the ride. If someone else more familiar with this patent wants to keep this one going or wants to give a more detailed explanation for someone who wants to know more, I thank you.
Back to the Walkers. They fire two shots at you, obviously they miss by a mile (although firing powerful heavy blasters seems like a stupid thing for a trooper to do while inside a ship, especially when its just to hit two slow moving carts) because you are protected by the Sue Force. The two trolleys then go sideways in front of the AT-ATs and past them where the trolleys will part ways and go up elevator shafts that will take them 40 feet up into the second floor.
Here is a map of the first floor to get you australian birds to understand whatever the hell it is I'm talking about.
View attachment 781937
Once on the second floor, they will be led them down two long separate hallways that will lead the trolleys into a lower area. Above the trolleys is an open mesh floor where they will see animatronics of Kylo Ren and Hux (I guess Kylo didn't bother chasing after you). They are talking about the Resistance attacking the ship.
Here's the open mesh hallway.

And here's the map of the second floor:
View attachment 781957
From there you will go into the gunner's room where you will see the FO having a space battle with the Resistance (which you can see in the trailer). After that, the two trolleys meet up again in a new really dark hallway and run into Kylo Ren who throws a lightsaber at them using the same light system I mentioned before. The lightsaber misses you due to your awesome Reyness despite him being right in front of you, and the wall behind you will quickly be switched with a torn and burned one to simulate the saber hitting it. The ship is then hit with a blast which conveniently causes a piece of the roof to fall and separate the trolleys from Kylo Ren. The trolleys will then get a transmission from the Resistance telling the tourists to escape and head for the escape pods. You will then hear the Resistance and the FO shoot at each other and see them through the open mesh ceilings above you (hence the animatronics and lasers). The trolleys go down a new hallway but are stopped by Kylo Ren who uses his powers to lift the roof to attack you, but just as he is about to kill you, the awesome force of your marysue/martystu powers activate and a wall falls on him, thus defeating the evil Kylo Ren. The trolleys will then head into the custom-made escape pods conveniently designed for trolleys. The escape pods are actually new versions of the damn elevator from the Tower of Terror ride that will shoot you up and down 10 feet rapidly which is why you had to take that elevator early on. After the damn rise and drops stop, the elevator/escape pod will slow down and show images of space through its window where you will see the planet Batuu. You will then have another damn 10 foot drop. After leaving your escape pods, you will find yourself in a warehouse on Batuu. The resistance escorts you out safe and sound. The ride ends. You beat Emo Ren with your awesome Mary Sueness yet you get no rewards like in Smuggler's Run.
Also here's a pic of the model of the warehouse:

Obviously, this shit requires a lot more precision to get it just right and its mind-boggling as to why they didn't wait until this ride was done to open the parks since this was apparently where most of the money went. And what I've said is the intended run and what's been tested, what the final product will be like or how much they end up removing will only be determined by time. According to my associate, he's heard rumors that the reason the ride has been extended was to remove a feature that let you attack nu-troopers, which was considered too violent for the ride. Take that rumor with a grain of salt since I don't have anything backing it up unlike the rest. I should also mention that there's a shitty fastpass at this park to let you skip lines and even ride this thing alone for max interactive freedom for an extra couple of hundreds. Disney said they may incorporate this fastpass single shit into Smuggler's Run later on...
Now what should I cover next? Like I've said before, feel free to share this crap anywhere. I don't care.

The over pandering to little girls, is getting a bit nauseating at this point.
I wonder when they realize, this isn't a good strategy?
Its not even gender neutral anymore, its specifically going after little girls. Do they really think that demographic is going to embrace Star Wars in any meaningful way? Its baffling how utterly clueless they are...

For some reason Disney seems to be utterly incapable of marketing towards boys.
Every boy oriented thing they've tried to do has been a disaster since the mid-late 90s.

The little girl in the trailer honestly feels like Kathleen Kennedy's self-insert.
And speaking of Kennedy, she did an interview where she explains how she handles fan reactions.

There are few fan bases like that of Star Wars out there, and Lucasfilm president Kathleen Kennedy knows it.

They aren't pandering to little girls. They are pandering to some woke make-believe ideal of what little girls want.
