I think you misunderstand my point. So in this case it seem the most important thing is the characters in the land for you, not really the land itself. Which given your posting about your character interactions makes sense. So I never said I had an issue with removing the era restrictions and having all era of SW characters in the land. Put Darth next to Kylo in a M&G for all I care. For that matter put pod racing young Anakin next to sand hating youngling killing teen Anakin next Vadar and have them all interact with each other in a M&G, it wouldn't matter to me. That is not my issue, I've said before removing the era restriction would be good, so do it. You don't need change anything with the land in order to do that, other than removing the ficitious era restriction that Disney put on the land. So remove it, and that appears to fix most if not all your issues with the land. So yep, add them all tomorrow and I'd be all for it.Some might argue it already is a mess. Or at least a miss. I'll take convoluted if it means the land has John Williams music and all the characters and entertainment that people want to see.
Again, the parks are filled with lands with unrelated attractions and characters right next to each other. Do you object to Space Mountain being next door to Star Tours? Stitch appearing in the same land as Darth Vader? Or if you want to go with a more "immersive" single themed area - Midway Mania between Emotional Whirlwind and the Incredicoaster? Woody and Bo Peep greeting guests near Sadness and Joy? Then why is there an issue with Rey and Kylo appearing in one area, Padme and Anakin in another, Vader and Chewbacca in another, Mando and Grogu in another and Ahsoka and Sabine in another - in the same land at the same time? Give the fans of ALL of Star Wars a piece of the Star Wars land instead of saying they can't see all of the characters they want to see there.
Does ANYONE actually care about Batuu or the Black Spire Outpost? Or do they care about Star Wars? The place should be the backdrop to GIVE PEOPLE STAR WARS!
Folks here may not appreciate Avengers Campus the way I do, but nobody is telling a little kid they can't meet Iron Man or both versions of Captain America or Black Panther there because they're not in the correct timeline or they are not actually in New York City or Wakanda. Which is why Avengers Campus is better than Galaxy's Edge IMO.
My issue with the project was slicing and dicing the land up that is currently purpose built for Batuu, especially the way it was described with Batuu still being the locale for the 2 attractions (as I understood it being described anyways). So that means for this project, again if its real, means to have you go from one new locale at one entrance to Batuu for Rise, to another new locale (presumably where the market and food court are), back to Batuu for Smugglers Run, to another new locale at the other entrance. That is a mess, a very confusing convoluted mess that makes no sense. At that point you might as well just raze the entire land and start over and build it as 3-5 different purpose built areas.
So I have no issues with changing the land, especially if its to add more characters from all eras of SW. But what I don't want is this spaghetti thrown at the wall type of project that just tries to shove mini-lands into the area that don't make sense. Trust me I can wrap my head around almost all of Disney decisions, even those that many here don't agree with and even hate, but this I can't wrap my head around, it makes no sense.
