Well, they're better. They have E.T., King Kong, Ghostbusters occasionally and Spider-Man that isn't a dumb screen ride where you shoot "spider bots."

Yeah, I’m glad they still have those. But they got rid of a lot of others.

Orrr.. or or.. hear me out.. we could add more attractions in the spirit of IJA, Splash, Matterhorn, Big Thunder, Space, Haunted, Pirates.. you know, some of the things that made Disneyland, Disneyland-popular. Mission Cheapout and Hyperspace and Incredicoaster aren't doing anything other than maintaining the same crowd levels as before (oh, lol, I mean less crowds than before).

Today, we’re going to delve into why these 2017-onwards attractions have been getting more and more repulsive to people. Well, there are those cheap-out TFA promo attractions that are somehow still running despite seeming like they should be temporary like the Toy Story Funhouse. We have to do something with those.
Another thing; color theory. This is what seems to be missing from a lot of modern attractions. Galaxy’s Edge, in particular, should point us to the elephant and 800-pound gorilla in the room that is the controversial sequels, their primary basis.

It's not that it has too much star wars, it's that it does not have the RIGHT version of star wars in it's star wars land. that's the killer.

Of course....the elephant in the room.
This isn’t complicated:
If you defend Disney’s handling of it...it’s all about love of disney
If you criticize it...you’re a fanboy hater troll.
Those are the stereotypes.
The truth is that they’ve done a bad job. It’s not stronger...it’s weaker. Very hard to misread the Trend with a straight face. We can debate the reasons.

I always thought the “placeholder” “attractions” would go away on both coasts soon after the real land opened.

They’ve become the new Maliboomer; cheap, redundant space occupiers kept around for some quota.

Well that's a defeatist attitude if I've ever heard one...

Please elaborate. Should I riot? Write letters? It's not defeatist, it's the reality that Galaxy's Edge is here and not going anywhere. I do believe we will have less Star Wars at some point if an when they reskin Star Tours.
I guess I don't see why there needs to be a debate at this point. We've had a couple of years of why people love/hate Star Wars going in to Disneyland in a bigger way. This is just another thread for people to say the same things again.

Yes! Riot! Tweet your Congress-person! Create a Bob Chapek pinata and smash it!
Sorry, I forgot to turn on my sarcasm font.
I'm actually with you though. I think we're draining the teat dry on how many times we can decry Star Wars (the Halloween costume count thread comes to mind).
No harm, no foul.

I still don't get who Disney is targeting with Path of the Jedi?
The previews shows at the other theaters at least make a lick of sense as no one's seen the movie yet (even if they don't draw an audience by the end of the first day). But, the Star Wars movies are the most iconic movies of all time! Do most people really need a recap of what the force is? Or the darkside? Or any other basic Star Wars elements?
Honestly with how underutilized the Tomorrowland theater is, I hope it's the first thing that goes with any Tomorrowland remodel. Maybe make it a restaurant, shop, or anything else that can free up other spots in Tomorrowland for attraction use.
