It really should just be called Star Wars land. Like others have said, just name it what everyone will call it anyway. For example Everest is actually called Expedition Everest - Legend of the Forbidden Mountain, nobody calls it that, not even people in the company. It doesn't say it on the sign or in the logo. Pretty much only the website and mde app says it. So why even name it that?
There is definitely some reason (or multiple) for these long names but I don't really know what it is. If anyone thinks they know please share. I have ideas but no strong theories.
Also they are showing stuff about Shanghai, so it isn't 100% Disneyland.
The distinction is slightly important because there will probably be more in the future. Everyone will call it 'Star Wars' until there is a second area on the way, then the message board fans will adopt its proper name as the general public still just calls them the 'Star Wars Lands'.
Look to Harry Potter, once Diagon Alley came along the more informed theme park fans adopted the proper naming convention of Hogsmeade and Diagon Alley.
