I do love a good boat ride, but Star Wars (for me) doesn't seem like the right IP for it. I don't think I can recall seeing a character take a boat ride within a SW film. The closest I can think of is when the prisoners swam away from the prison in Andor.

As for fitting, you did a great job showing the size of the area, but if they want to keep walkways, they are removing at least a 1/3 of that show building. With the current orientation, you would be looking at a HM without the Seance scene, half of the hallway of doors, the Maintenace bay, the ballroom scene, the attic, and the first half of the graveyard. So, we would be left with an attraction that is the equivalent to the loading area, endless hallway, conservatory, half of the graveyard, and the Hitchhiking Ghosts. And they would still need to find room for the Maintenace bay, so probably no HHG.

Not terrible, but certainly is a much smaller attraction and not enough room for a boat ride beyond the scope of NRJ.

I think that they could do a really good boat ride based on the planet Dagobah (where Luke meets Yoda). You could tour the swamps of Dagobah with mist and scenery along with the camp site where Luke was training and an R2D2 animatronic could feature. Add some fit for the purpose alien creatures and the final scene could be a Yoda animatronic on the shore raising Luke's X-Wing from the swamp as your boat passes it. The atmosphere of Dagobah was dark and dingy so would justify an indoor attraction. I get that you didn't see any boats on Dagobah however it's more a method of transport for the ride which could be justified by water being an indirect iconic feature of that scene.

Obviously that might break the time line that GE was going for but then again haven't they already done that to some degree already with some added characters?

Almost no guest walk ways are cut for the mansion (tiny corner of the one pathway by the red ). It's all trees/ dirt... I wish google earth would update... its been 5+ years.

Wherever Jar Jar takes them in Episode 1 is underwater. Navi River Journey crossed with 20,000 Leagues, except have it be fun.

Not OP, but I also find it extremely cringe because it basically adds nothing to the conversation and is just a tool to complain, say look at me, and stir up rage. We weren't talking about LL, monetization, or anything like that... posters do it in almost every thread and it's just repetitive and lazy.

To me the discussion had led to the cancelled Bantha attraction. I think it is perfectly reasonable to bring up a reason why it would not be built in a discussion about it. We can talk about negative things too

With Star Wars now moving back to seemingly being a primarily Film Based Franchise after 6 years or so of being primarily TV Based* I could see some more focus being placed on Galaxy's Edge in the coming years and adding an attraction that is more focused on putting us in the Star Wars Galaxy rather than in a Star Wars Adventure makes some sense to me.

*As far as I can tell there is only one season of Star Wars Live Action TV in development along with a couple small animated things whereas there are two Live Action Films with release dates and a further 3 or 4 in development

I'll believe the pivot to film based once I see a Star Wars film actually make it into the theaters.

At DLR, that blue area is basically the train and part of ROA. DHS filled all that in with a bigger berm... I just really feel like they need to do something for families with small children in this area (and in the park). I've already skipped dhs on my last 2 disney trips because there is almost nothing for my now 2 year old do to do there compared to EPCOT and MK.

Randomly thought of a question while working today:

Is there a good reason why the Galaxy’s Edge in DHS only has two entrances compared to the three entrances DL’s has? Seems like a third entrance would’ve fit perfectly in DHS leading up from Pixar Place. That would’ve really helped with guest flow in this park considering how many dead ends are currently present.

Yeah, that was mainly my point. There’s no reason why DHS shouldn’t have three entrances to Galaxy’s edge when its west coast counterpart was designed with three from the get-go.

I don't think it was said in the thread that 'Pixar Place' wasn't meant to exist when Toy Story Land opened. I am pretty sure it did close for a while and only reopened when park ops saw it as some quick and easy capacity by adding the Incredibles to the area.
