These are long running characters but Luke, Leia, Han, Yoda, Obiwan, and C3P0 are iconic and should have been in the land day one.

It's sad we waited til 6 years in to get Luke and that Vader is in a vacant building in Tommorowland for credit card holding customers only.

Unless the casting is amazing I’d rather they just stick with masked characters like C-3PO, Vader, Yoda, Chewbacca etc. With that said the “Rey’s” I have seen have been Ok so maybe the can pull it off.

Give us the training academy, March of the first order and if I’m really pushing my luck the restaurant…
Why can't we have something like Paris has/had? They even levitate R2-D2. Then the kids go directly into the store to build/buy overpriced lightsabers.

God forbid Disney actually hire an older actor to give us the most interesting version of the character.
hardly. There are many iconic eras for Luke. The most divisive is the Ep VII and VIII versions. Plus, they no longer seem to care about locking SWGE into that era of films, so why go with Hobo Skywalker when the far more popular Mando Cameo is right there?

VII and VIII are the most interesting versions of Luke. And it allows for the best opportunity for themed entertainment. Ep IV Luke is young and naive and whiney. He can't lead a show as he is the audience surrogate. EP VI and Mando Luke are just bland emotionless overpowered religious zealots. Old Man Luke is the one who can have humor and the poise to lead a show. Mando Luke could just destroy the entire First Order single-handedly, which is such a boring choice.

Wow haha missed that. You think they might be projections for the show? They don’t look like projections in the art but hard for me to believe they would add waterfalls now. Would be cool though.
I wonder if they are repurposing old concept art from when Batuu was far more tropical/forested. But the fireworks caused concern so they were far more arid for the outpost. We know they used old concept art for the Monsters Inc land mockup.

Could be. I thought about that as well but I don’t remember this concept art. Maybe it was unused?

Which of the above Luke's seems closest? Let me make is easy for you. He's wearing the EXACT same outfit he wore in his appearance in the season 2 episode of The Mandalorian.
You see. We really don't know that is Luke. It could be Luuke from The Last Command novel.

Luuke Skywalker was a genetic clone of the Jedi Knight Luke Skywalker, grown from cells extracted from the hand Skywalker lost during his duel with the Dark Lord Darth Vader on Cloud City. Skywalker's hand and lightsaber were recovered by Vader and taken to Emperor Palpatine's Mount Tantiss storehouse on the planet Wayland. In 9 ABY, the insane clone Jedi Master Joruus C'baoth performed a mind trick on Imperial Grand Admiral Thrawn's subordinate, Captain Gilad Pellaeon, ordering him to make a special clone for him. The clone that later became Luuke Skywalker was grown in secret from sample B-2332-54, the sorting code assigned to Luke Skywalker's hand. The clone was grown in a Spaarti cloning cylinder over the period of less than a month. When he was ready, the clone was given Jedi training by C'baoth and over time became little more than an extension of C'baoth's will.

This is a great use of those rock spires. I've been saying for a long time that projection mapping them at night would be a plus for the land. I had in mind making the rocks appear phosphorescent, but this is an improvement as well.
