Because it was presented as a thing that’s actually being discussed even if there’s no final decision yet.

I can’t believe that WDW would actually be having those conversations already, 11 days after open.

I find their lack of faith... disturbing.

Not WDW, WDI. And I’ve been reading about this rumor since before it opened from others besides just marni that the ride was designed so that this change could almost seamlessly happen.

I’m not doubting that there’s talks. I just don’t understand why so soon.

I would be shocked if RotR changed any time soon. One day? Sure. After those Midway Mania overlays we were promised.

In their defense, the Sith hang on to life and possessions, Jedi accept death and loss. That's kinda a thing in the Star Wars mythology. And Liam Neeson's Qui-Gon was the first (I think) to materialize through the Force in the afterlife, teaches it to Yoda, who then teaches it to Obi-Wan. How Anakin learned it is anybody's guess.
If the movie leaks are true, there is....another...who lives on through the Force, and I'm not talking about Leia, but will shut up now.

I know the leak. It’s really stupid.
And Anakin doing it wasn’t a problem until the how of it was explained many years later. Until RotS it could’ve easily been assumed that Force Ghosts were just Jedi you personally knew and were able to appear to you or something like that.

All the highly technical Star Wars discussion that only hardcore fans would understand and I just want to learn to yowl like Chewie to telemarketers...
And Country Bears Christmas overlay.
And new stage shows in DHS.
And two other ride profiles in MFSR.
But, hey, they got Space Mountain overlays down pat by partially or completely shutting off what little lights they had on to begin with!
The only that that gets laid over on a regular basis is Cinderella
castle.

If I were choosing, and I’m not, I’d want the yeti and JII fixed before touching RotR. It seems the simplest option is to lock Star Tours and Backlot Express (rethemed as a sit down) in the OT and add those MFSR missions. Why waste money?
In another thread I started yesterday, I proffered the idea that perhaps these fully immersive lands are not the right approach.
The Star Wars movies were hopping around from planet to planet. They could have used a multi-planet approach to the "land". Or perhaps gone with a Jedi/Rebel/Republic/Resistance side of the land and a Sith/Empire/First Order side of the land. But Star Wars doesn't have an established land that you have a store, a bar, a flight deck, etc. I guess Tatooine could fit that...but it's a boring, desert planet. Doesn't translate into an exciting theme park land.
So...in this case of Star Wars...having one themed location doesn't work, IMO. Especially if it was just created for the parks. (Though I personally like the idea of a new planet to explore, I'd like something else more)
Another idea is to re-theme each land into different planet spaceports/etc. A different one in California, Orlando and France. Paint the rocks different colors, make one a snow planet, etc. But tying the lands to the new trilogy is really, really hampering. They need to push a few main concepts: Jedi & the Force, Boba Fett/Jango/Mandalorian and Bounty Hunters and the most recognizable character in SW...Darth Vader.

..its meant to help the ADA folks know what row to go to as well, but people keep forgetting the color thing and just getting wherever they can. It'll come to a head at some point when a ADA rider gets all excited there are no seats in the front row.

... Vader is dead in this timeline. Batuu is between EP7/8 so there is no Vader or any OT characters that can't live as long as a wookie. They aren't gonna spend billions just to change things over either. If haters would just relax and enjoy the land, with all that hatred energy, they might like it.

..."A possibility" can be by insiders or outsiders. None of my insiders have mentioned this at all, at either land,
They only hint of a future was that a 3rd expansion pad is available at both lands but not expected to be considered until 2029

I don’t think it would cost billions to overlay one ride but you do you I guess.
I’m going with @marni1971 on this. I’ve been here for almost 6 (!) years now and over that time he’s been proven to be trustworthy again and again. Plus you just seem very bitter on this for no reason. No one is saying the ride sucks. We’re discussing a topic because someone who proved they could be trusted brought it up.

I’m sure he’s correct about higher level discussions. They were very concerned over the initial response to the land. Now it seems very popular with the new ride but we will see how it looks after 6 months and a year. I understand the immediate focus will be the restaurant and MFSR missions. While they are doing that, it would be a logical time to make any reasonably easy fixes, which could range from adding music and changing food right up to complete layovers. Obviously the physical rides and buildings would stay. These would all be relatively cheap “fixes”. We will see what they deem necessary. I feel the restaurant will get green lit rather quickly.
