When closed it will be the former UOE Pavilion
It will soon be known as the I Am Groot Pavilion.

I am wondering if the UOE ride will be a duplicate of what was planned for the Hong Kong Expansion.

Didn't the latest installment of the guardians movie have a whole segment dedicate to energy. Rocket ends up stealing some pieces at the beginning of movie and therefore start a war which is why they are being hunted. I wonder if there could be some kind of reference to that in this new ride

(this is just my thoughts, nothing about if this is actually the plot)
so Peter Quill & Co. "crash" the Universe of Energy pavilion in an attempt to gather the solar energy for their spaceship....and some other educational stuff along the way...I could deal with that, ESPECIALLY if there's a good educational post-show around it as well.
We can mourn the loss of the old Ellen's Energy Adventure and the original version as well, BUT if people are no longer swayed or interested in that kind of storytelling, the message won't matter. Perhaps adding this and done PROPERLY would be meaningful.

I know so little about Guardians, up until today I thought Peter Quill was either an actor/producer/director etc that had to do with the film. I was so confused why him going to Epcot as a child would make the ride a good fit for Epcot. Now that I realize he’s a character, it makes even less sense.

It definitely was weird...some people liked it, but I think it was very silly and feels very forced unless they actually follow through with what they're promising

I agree, it seems very forced unless there will be some sort of tie in with the ride. In which case it could still seem forced. But I guess time will tell.

I wonder what Peter Quill would think of the park now compared to his childhood.
My opinion, based on the character from the movies, it seems a little forced, but it makes sense for his character. I could see Peter absolutely going to and loving Epcot as a boy in the 80's. It seems right up his character's alley. I hope they tie this into the ride because there is a ton of story potential here.
He would probably get Rocket to nuke it.

He wouldn't recognize all of the IPs that have taken over the classic pavilions. Except for the Three Caballeros.

Peter Quill is all about vintage 80's. He'd **^^ all over a superhero roller coaster in EPCOT.
Oh irony.
Please writers of GotG III. Be true to your subversive heritage and don't make Quill listen to 'Energy' on his walkman (ok, so that walkman got destroyed anyway). That is the fan service equivalent of management ordering 50k retro t-shirts of a beloved ride they just ordered the destruction of.
No, instead, please sneak in a cranky remark by Quill resenting how a horde of fat slobs demanded the favourite place of his childhood be destroyed because their little Johnny throws a temper tantrum when confronted by anything of inspirational value.

If anything the song would appear in the ride, not GotG 3.
