BGs don't generally limit people to the whole area do, do they?

As originally intended, yes. Now? No.

They originally were meant to keep GE from being overcrowded...of course the crowds were (typically) more like rainclouds over Disneyland.

Honest question….what if they decide to make the pathway to Tron by Space Mountain one way? For example, if you want to get to Tron, you must take the pathway from Storybook Circus. To exit, you walk past Space Mountain.

The logistics of actually controlling that make it improbable, in my opinion. And even if you post multiple cast members on each path, people are going to get annoyed very quickly when you tell them to take a massive detour because they're going the wrong way.

I could possibly see that for when it first opens or for controlling people there for rope drop, etc ... They do that somewhat with getting in and out of Pandora

They opened an entire land (SWGE) with one entry point as entrance and one as exit. With signage and CMs, it’s not a big deal. And these entry points are very narrow. 4 CMs could people from passing. I doubt they worry too much about irritating people who can’t follow directions.

Cast members have to control pathways in the manner you just described all the time. Yes, it’s annoying to have to reroute you the opposite way as a CM and as a guest, it’s done for crowd flow and safety all the time.

Fair enough. Wasn't aware they'd done that with Galaxy's Edge. It just feels like it would be odd to not be able to return directly to the land the attraction is in and to instead get forced into the completely unrelated area of the park after unloading from TRON.

Think of how they direct guests around nighttime spectaculars.

Guess it depends on what they are doing with the Tomorrowland Arcade. If that is converted into a de facto Tron Store, they'll certainly want everyone who's just ridden Tron to get through that gift shop as quickly as possible. If that's the case, they either divide the path by Space Mountain and have the side to the left of the arcade be entrance only and through the arcade be exit only, or the make the entrance to Tron (temporarily) through Storybook Circus (in which case they'd likely have cast stationed all the way at the main hub entrance of Tomorrowland with signs directing people on where to go for Tron.
