I guess, when you put it in the prospective of a hobby, but, a line around the block is not the entire baby boomer generation. For one thing, we are getting to old to play a lot of those games and that is a reenactment of real history not a fantasy environment. I liked the place, but, I have never been what would be called connected in a way that would put me in a funk if it disappeared. Just a different view point, I guess.

None of the WS countries were sponsored by their countries when EPCOT opened.

I'm guessing that huge berm isn't to scale?

You know what I meant, but if we ARE being pedantic, the Pavilions were sponsored by businesses native to that country who wanted people to come visit and spend money.

It's not pedantry, it's precision. Precision of argument brings a better understanding of why the WS looks today the way it looks.
The foreign sponsorship deals with businesses were mostly inconsequential, or even absent. Partnerships with restaurants and warehouses.
Disney did design the WS to be sponsored. When sponsorships fell through, it proceeded regardless. Not so under anymore Eisner, who left the existing WS pavilions unfinished and only added Morocco and Norway. Two rather obscure, or more neutrally stated: random, countries, because these did find large sponsorship deals with king and companies respectively.

What's the current theory on the fate of Star Tours?

with the close proximity of Muppet vision I wonder how high the facade will need to be to hid the Kermit balloon from the interior of the land. Great image btw! Is it user generated or.... from somewhere else

Obscure? Random? Morocco was America's first official international ally, in 1786! To suggest that Morocco was "random" shows a distinct lack of patriotism!

I believe they are deciding whether or not they should leave it akwardly outside of SWL, or just retheme it. Sadly connecting it to the land is not in the cards.

i have heard retheme after SWL opens, but a lot can change between now and then.

Since it's all fiction anyway, I think they could contrive a worm hole so that the SWL characters meet up with the GotG peoples.
Ha! Maybe on opening day but these days, it's a long line if it's 20 minutes

My guess is that it'll be much more impressive than a pencil drawing when it's fully built.
No idea.
True for all except China and Canada. Those were all Disney.

Genius sheer Genius, So a net gain of 1 SW ride in 14 acres.... Guess it's too hard to actually MOVE it to the new land.

Not sure about the 2 meeting up in a ride, but I think Star Tours could be easily converted to GoTG. I'm not sure if that is actually in the table or not since they are considering Guardians for EPCOT already, but it could make some sense.
