Is it even 3? Feels like 2.
<checking out a video of the ride>
Ah, you are correct! I shall update my list.

Count me in on wanting to know about the music in the ride. Will it slowly bloom into the attraction, as it does in Flight of Passage? Also, will Rey/Leia/some other familiar character be on our Comms throughout the attraction, ala Dinosaur?
It seems strange that Rey does not appear in any pivotal moment in the ride - taking it's cue from the Fantasyland dark rides (though savvy that we get to see her at least before the adventure begins so nobody can really complain that they didn't see BB-8 or whatever.) I can only imagine the ride would end with Rey or Leia saying "May The Force Be With You", big musical swell ala Forbidden Journey/Gringotts, and a funny little unload spiel by C-3PO.
Also, I'm incredibly surprised there is not a single simulated lightsaber duel anywhere in Battu. Is that confirmed? Thirdly, does that mean C-3PO and/or R2 won't be a part of the story of this land, either? And is this because Star Tours still exists? These seem like huge holes that even the most casual of Star Wars fans will find glaring.
I find that much of the wish fulfillment of the Harry Potter attractions is seeing the characters in action, doing battle with each other, and re-creating character traits that we love. Hermionie gets to be smart, Ron gets to be silly, and Harry gets to save the day, and we feel these character beats. Both attractions also feature Harry engaged in actual battle, with Draco, the Dememtors, and Voldemort. It seems that we get to see Kylo go bananas, Rey be... uhm. Zen, or whatever she does... Poe gets to be a psuedo Han Solo cool boi, and Finn get overwhelmed in the way that he does. I wonder if there are enough emotional character beat connections to hold guests over and "fangasm" over, especially because we never actually see these characters interact with one another.

Leia apparently isn’t in the attraction just mentioned. All three of the main heroes from the sequel trilogy will appear and without trying to give away any spoilers. TWO of the three appear at pivotal moments thought the attraction. ONE appears in the preshow.

Yeah, haha! I gathered that much -- I just wonder if it was wise not to include Rey in the actual ride portion of the attraction is what I was getting at.

Happy to explain - because that's very fair. The CONCEPT of Kali is great. Excellent queue. And what is there (theme wise) is great. The ride itself feels like we got 50% of what was supposed to be created. The "rapids" part. Going through a temple or something. Etc. If it was on par with their other rapids rides with the Kali story and general environment, it would be amazing. That was my point.
But, you are right - back to ROTR!

How many animatronics do the potter rides have and did Universal fail to reach proper 'standards' in their creation of these attractions?
Easily.
Although it’s not ultra tough now is it

So Martin, what attraction currently has the top crown, in your opinion?
IMHO no single attraction. In no particular order, Orlando TOT and Splash, RSR, Paris PotC, Phantom Manor, Forbidden Journey. American Adventure. I dare say Mystic Manor would make it too.
Honourable mentions to those no longer with us; SSE, Imag 1, Horizons, the concept of the original UoE. Paris’ Space Mountain From the Earth to the Moon. Even World of Motion.
I anticipate Rise will be there too. But there again I got Falcon wrong.

The land’s BGM is in-universe music and sounds, the rides and shows use the movie scores and cinematic arrangements.
That’s not breaking the rules, that’s having different rules for different things, and it doesn’t seem to bother anybody that Pandora is the exact same way.

Interesting, no Indy? In CA I feel it's still king (but showing its age).

I'd include the Jurassic Park ride at Universal. Even with a couple of the animatronics not functioning correctly it was my favorite ride there. Forbidden Journey gave me TERRIBLE motion sickness (first ride that's ever done that), so I spent my whole time on it (and for a good 30-45 minutes thereafter) trying not to throw up on myself. Obviously it doesn't make my list of good rides.
I imagine they'll eventually change it to match the Jurassic World ride in Hollywood, though, and that looks like a downgrade because of how stupid the Jurassic World movies are. The rest of the Jurassic Park area needs an upgrade, but the ride itself is great as is.

They’re accurate.

Ah got it! So they are just making it up as they go along. I don’t get to experience the iconic Star Wars music throughout the land because that would NOT make sense in Batuu, but it DOES make sense in a prison transport cart. Makes total sense and is not totally convenient logic at all.
Hope they pass out WDI Logic Cards to the guests so they can follow along or perhaps that’s another tab in the Play app.

They didn’t want it everywhere but only wanted it some places for emphasis.
Where was the outrage on Pandora?

Some people feel the need to feign outrage to fit their narrative. The troll is strong with this one.

Apples and oranges because the music from Avatar is not an important, integral, iconic part of the IP. That’s why Avatar music is not blaring in the esplanade and on every TV commercial about the resort. And when did Pandora become the blueprint for every land regardless of the IP?
Oh, and Pandora > SWGE.
