This is kind of an interesting story ... a magicband was stolen in a home burglary and then a person wearing that stolen MB showed up in a ride photo taken on the Buzz Light Year Space Ranger Spin (not known if this is the burgler or got the band later)

I'm curious as to how someone got into the park with another person's band, unless they switched it after entering the park?

 

[BigRed98]

Is there a dedicated Star Wars celebration thread or will the information and pictures be posted here and on the official SWGE threads? There's lots of pictures on the first order and resistance merchandise on twitter.

Well, I have lots of photo pass Buzz photos showing folks I don't know.... I think that ride is pretty glitchy for photos

True, but if he matches other ride photos, Buzz is probably the ride photo that shows the most face detail.

I’ll be there!

well sure rub it in!

Alan Menken and Lin Manuel Miranda have started working on the music for live action Little Mermaid, it seems:

Let's just hope it isn't a case of a mistake on the ride adding it to their account. Else this guy has been publicly shamed for no reason. I would think someone that stole a magic band did so knowing what it was, else why would you ever take it and wear it to the park. Also assuming this person knew what it was what would be the reason? To use for ticket entitlements, it would provide 0 other benefits? Whenever I've gotten my fingerprint reset they always took a photo of me at the gate and specifically asked for ID to match the name on the ticket. Do they not do this still? Unless this is an extremely lucky thief 1) stole a MagicBand with a ticket on it and 2) Found a Turnstile that wasn't using fingerprints.

Question: the people who the band belongs to shouldn't they have deactivated the band once it was noted stolen? Wouldn't that have prevented it being used for anything?

I don't usually push for that sort of thing because it's not necessarily well-known but if they knew the band was stolen (which would ordinarily be a small detail), seems like they would want to report that to Disney or discuss with Disney what to do. I know you can in your MDE account deactivate a band.

If they thought of it ... honestly not sure what else was stolen but if my home was burgled not sure if deactivating my MB would be the first thing on my mind

Also, not sure if deactivating the band would stop it from capturing ride photos - honestly not sure. I know you can't reasign a band so not sure what deactivating it really does

I was also wondering this.

The rise ride vehicle reminds me of a smaller great movie ride vehicle.

I suppose I could start a thread here later today. I will have SWGE specific stuff on the SWGE threads. May be tougher for me being at the actual event for once though.

I started a thread and will try to keep it updates as much as I can ... I see it more for us to just chatter about stuff going on and that big news would still be posted to this thread and Galaxy's Edge relevant information would still be posted in the SWGE subforum

ugh, kinda sucks to get that guys photo out there then - I know it said they didn't know if he was the one who committed the crime and stuff, but still seemed to imply he was associated with it somehow

Mostly posted it as I thought it was interesting connection to the MB technology - but sort of feel bad now

I wasn't saying anything against the people. Obviously.

I had a response all typed out but nevermind as I don't want to go back and forth

I didn't take it that way - if I came off that I did, then my apologies

Might be one of those conversations where tone is not coming through properly in written form

Oh no worries at all
