New Disney attraction Star Wars: Galaxy's Edge is set top open at Anaheim's Disneyland on May 31st (and in Orlando's Disney World on August 29th).

The hype is real, and Disney recently during a presentation and panel discussion at Star Wars Celebration in Chicago gave fans exciting details...and one thing that fans are much less happy about.

Black Spire Outpost, the location featured in the attractions, will apparently feature Coca-Cola's various product lines.

The soft drinks will be in specialty packaging labeled in the Aurebesh writing system featured in the films.


Black Spire Outpost will feature stores where park-goers can purchase Star Wars themed foods or other products and a Cantina where they can stop for familiar fare such as blue milk while listening to music from The Modal Nodes.

The attraction is being touted for its total immersion, including a companion smartphone app that allows participants to play an augmented reality game where they must flip light panels from the control of the First Order to the Resistance throughout the attraction.

The app will also translate Aurebesh on signs throughout the space for park-goers.

During the panel, Imagineer Scott Trowbridge told host Josh Gad:

"Everything in the market feels like it was made by people on that planet for people on that planet."

But the Coca-Cola product placement featured during the presentation would seem to contradict this.

And some fans are not happy.

Others just wanted more details about the attraction and felt that the Coca-Cola spot took up valuable panel time.

There were quite a few people who didn't think the idea was so bad, though.

Many were actually excited about the special packaging.




As far as souvenirs go, you could definitely do worse than a Sprite bottle shaped like a thermal detonator and labeled in Aurebesh.

But if you long for the real deal, you can get the full original saga and prequels, Episodes 1-6 here. NoCoke products in sight.

Trump Blasted After Warning Gas Stations To Drop Prices 'Immediately' In Threatening Social Media Rant

President Donald Trump was criticized after telling gas retailers that they need to lower their prices to $2.50 per gallon "immediately" or face "big problems," prompting many critics to suggest he is panicking as discontent toward his administration grows amid fallout over the Iran war and a nationwide affordability crisis.

A recent Gallup poll found that 55 percent of respondents felt their finances were worsening, a level of pessimism exceeding that seen during both the COVID-19 pandemic and the 2008 financial crisis. This comes as the highly unpopular war in Iran continues to rage, sending gas prices surging. Americans have spent an additional $59 billion on fuel since Trump launched the war.

MAGA Is Having A 'DEI' Meltdown Over A Mixed Race Character In 'Toy Story 5'—And Fans Are Having None Of It

For a franchise about a toy cowboy, a delusional space ranger, and a potato with removable facial features, Toy Story has never been particularly concerned with strict realism. Yet somehow, a mixed-race child with curly hair in Toy Story 5 is what sent parts of MAGA into full meltdown mode.

In the latest installment of Pixar's beloved franchise, audiences are introduced to Blaze Manoukian, a young girl who lives on a farm, loves animals, and becomes an important part of Bonnie's story. Blaze is also Disney's first half-Black, half-Armenian character.

John Oliver Epically Drags Jesse Watters For Sharing Unverified Video Of Alleged Reflecting Pool Vandals On Fox News

Last Week Tonight host John Oliver mocked Fox News host Jesse Watters for sharing unverified video of alleged "vandals" of the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool and claiming that liberal media would claim that the people who were seen reaching into the pool "dropped their wedding ring."

The renovation of the Reflecting Pool has become a debacle, marked by recurring algae blooms, workers resorting to pouring hydrogen peroxide into the water to combat the problem, and a political blame game in which some Republicans have attempted to pin responsibility for the mess on Democrats.

Pete Buttigieg Opens Up About 'Darkest Hours' After Being Separated From His Kids Due To False Abuse Allegations

Former Democratic President Joe Biden's Secretary of Transportation, Pete Buttigieg, posted on Friday about the ordeal he, his husband Chasten Glezman Buttigieg, and their 4-year-old twins endured after someone targeted them with false abuse accusations.

Buttigieg described the attack as similar to a swatting, a dangerous form of criminal harassment/domestic terrorism in which a perpetrator makes a false report of a dangerous emergency to law enforcement in the hopes that SWAT or a similar heavily armed tactical unit will attack the home. Multiple people have died as a direct result of swatting incidents.
