From what I understand, the ride was already finished for over a couple months, but management wanted to delay the opening to focus press and attention for Rise of the Resistance.
If it was based on The Original Trilogy it wouldn’t be an issue. But, they knew the Sequel Trilogy would suck, so of course they decided to shove it into Star Wars Land to prevent irrelevancy and bad press for the sequel movies.

I think the time has come for a 5th gate, perhaps a “Villains” Park, more for adults, Alien would fit right in :) Like a backwards version of MK :)
