I can't hide the fact that part of me is kind of excited about this. I could see a possible way of this possibly ending up leading to a good Star Wars movie. This part of my brain left over from when I was 12 is really not good at having rational expectations.

Actually I was wondering about that, I thought it was open last time I checked!

I was thinking they did, maybe just in Disney World? I might be wrong completely.
― d-_-b (mh), Tuesday, 30 October 2012 21:18 (eleven years ago) link
It was open at Disneyland when I went in April. It is closed at Magic Kingdom.
It's funny, I'm only realizing now that the Indiana Jones ride at Disneyland really is just like Mr. Toad on insane-o steroids.

xp to polyphonic there's no way they do the Thrawn trilogy, and have to re-cast Han, Luke and Leia.

Kind of expecting something set further forward in the future but MAYBE with Hamill and Fisher making cameos as wise old Jedi, to legitimize the handover a la Nimoy in the Star Trek reboot.

xp: it is the world's worst promotional tie-in product ever; a giant lollipop shaped like a tongue in a case shaped like Jar-Jar's head with a plunger on the back you have to push in to make it open, meaning that eating the lollipop requires french-kissing a Jar-Jar Binks toy

I have a still-unopened one of these buried somewhere in a pile of junk in my house, because when I saw that thing it was just too hilarious for me not to purchase it
i'd like to see Matthew Barney given a shot at the next one

I am still of the opinion that The Phantom Menace was worth it solely for the existence of that lollipop

I was already aware about that JJB tongue lolly ]thing, but until I saw that particular picture I didn't know it was so textured. Wouldn't that make it uncomfortable to eat? I mean, more uncomfortable to eat than it already is?

Q: how many of these were bought by adults for the sole intention of sticking them in orifices other than their mouths?

This news is GOOD NEWS! GL should have done this after "Empire Strikes Back" imho. Bring on the Disney Star Wars.
And in the event of a nu-Jar Jar, Disney will at least have the good taste not to come up with something quite so repulsive.
Jar-Jar lollipop #1 most questionable marketing tie-in ever

Mr. Toad was no more when I was at D.World a month ago. But of course, "Star Tours" has been at Epcot for eons.
