There’s not really that much that can “ruin” the land or cause it to “go wrong,” but I feel like placing the land in the sequel era would be a turn-off to some guests, as the sequel era is considered by them to be the “worst” of the three Star Wars eras. (This is especially true after the response to The Last Jedi)
Edit: By “some guests” I really mean diehard fans of the franchise, as tons of them have expressed hate towards the sequel era.

Disagree on the sequel era being less popular than the prequels.
Also, the land may be set in sequel era but it seems to have a lot of the same look and feel as the OT.

Sorry, but you are WAY off base on this one. Do you have any idea how popular a meet and greet with Rian would be? There are thousands upon thousands of fans that would wait hours for the chance to tell off Rian in person. And then they would get back in line to say, and another thing!....

My best friend is a self-professed SW geek....he thinks many of the "not living in reality" fans are going to be disappointed/angry because it's not based on a land that currently exists.
The rest of the SW fandom will be thrilled.

after reading this, the 1st thing that came to my mind was the scene from airplane where people are lining up to slap that poor hysterical lady in her seatSorry, but you are WAY off base on this one.

Calling Toy Story Land a dud seems like a big stretch. It's not on the level of WWoHP or Pandora, but it's still drawing crowds at a level more typical of new attractions than FoP. Not everything has to be an E-ticket/Galaxy's Edge-level expansion.
Positive reviews from Anaheim may increase anticipation about it in Orlando. I know the argument has been made that enough diehard fans may head to California to experience it first and relieve some pressure from the Orlando opening, but that seems unrealistic.

You haven’t been in the Star Wars fandom recently, have you? Since the release of TLJ in 2017, (and even since TFA in 2015) there’s been a lot of discontent for this era, with many of it’s critics being disappointied in all the “wasted potential.” (Some just hate it because they’re still salty about the old canon being wiped) I was a bit broad, but I meant to refer to these HUGE fans of the franchise who don’t like the ST because they feel it could’ve been. Of course the average guests gonna love it, even the more casual fans will.
And I’ve heard that there’s gonna be a lot of OT/Prequel references in the land, so that might make it worthwhile, even to those who aren’t fans of the ST.

I get your point about the hardcore SW fans. But to the casual fans, the sequel trilogy is considered superior, and I don't think it's even close. Obviously the OT is the most sought after. The OT has had a presence in the parks since the original Star Tours so I get why they would want to move away from that a bit.
The issue with the sequel trilogy and all the spin offs,is it will have rushed exposure within a decade. Obviously still huge, but not as long lasting to build generational excitement.

Hard for me to move past the crowd levels being a big negative for people wanting to take their time to explore the land. Not sure how to avoid that though.

The lands will be crowd-limited at their entrance. Meaning that only a certain number of guests will be able to enter at once (same as when a park hits capacity). You will be able to stay inside the land as long as you want once you get in. They will be crowded, but they shouldn't be shoulder-to-shoulder overcrowded.

My answer to the OP,
If one of the rides turns out to be a "one and done", like the Na'vi River Journey.

One thing that will annoy me about the land in general will be all the people that think they are witty and will wear Star Trek uniforms and ask about Captain Kirk and Klingons. I'm guessing you will run into an average of 4-7 people dressed like this per day in the first few months. Yes, they both have "Star" in the name. Very clever. Now back to Ohio with you (Some offense to Ohio intended).

Then troll them back as Star Trek 4 was cancelled due to Star Wars stealing it's market.
