You don't need that. Don't be so selfish.
You only need Ky'le From Tustin to sell you a Coke at the snack bar. You're immersed!

Concept art released in 2017, when we actually believed they were using the word "immersive" correctly...
Versus the reality of this same space in 2022...

I get that Galaxy’s Edge is lacking in other areas, but why would you choose this scene to make your point? It’s kind of ridiculous to use possibly the lowest quality and least flattering photo* I’ve ever seen of the marketplace. This area translated very well from the concept art, has retained its individualized market stall merch, and is now frequented by Boba Fett and Fennec Shand, one of which is an OT character doing streetmosphere. What is there to complain about here?Concept art released in 2017, when we actually believed they were using the word "immersive" correctly...

*EDIT: Apologies to truecoat if you took this photo—I don’t mean to critique your photography skills, just commenting on what it shows versus the concept art and versus other views.

It looks ugly, like a wish.com order of Star Wars. It's like a fast food Big Mac ad vs the reality of what you get.

Also I've been to Galaxys Edge at night and it does not look like the photos linked above, in reality its much darker and not nearly as colorful. Its mostly just dark/drab with a few lights here and there. The photographer touched the photos up with color and lighting correction tools and it looks much better for it, I wish his version was how it looked in real life.

Right…? I’m not arguing Galaxy’s Edge didn’t live up to its promise. My point is that saying this concept drawing in particular didn’t live up to its promise is a bizarre thing to say.

I think the marketplace was totally one of the better aspects of Star Wars Land. I like the "in universe" merchandise and creatures sold there and unlike the rest of Star Wars Land they actually fill in the space with tons of stuff. I think the rest of the land can learn a lot from the Marketplace. If the rest of Star Wars Land was as dense and themed as the marketplace it would be much better.Right…?

It was a screengrab from a video. I just thought it was funny that they just parade a big trashcan down the middle of this "immersive" area.
On another note, I was in GE on Thurs, Sat and Sun this week. I saw Fennec Shand or should I say, cosplay girl no one recognizes and no Boba Fett. I say cosplay because she was standing around by herself or talking to cm's. It's like no one recognized her and they probably didn't because she wasn't with Boba Fett. Maybe it was too hot in GE last weekend for Boba Fett.
