How?
TWDC pursued the acquisition and integration of LucasFilms as a typical merger.
When a merger takes place like in colonial acquisition, the first rule in establishment of the new colony (NEWCO) is to exterminate the "natives". TWDC not only exterminated exisiting management but also the reliance on the preceeding foundational storyline in an effort to make the new material authentically TWDC.

Eh, I've had negative experiences including being followed to my car. And it shouldn't be an issue in the first place.
"El Gran Magnifico"
Mr Flibble is Very Cross.
I would have been perfectly fine with an extermination of Jar Jar. And, Han? Well I think we all saw that extermination coming. Han wanted to be exterminated.
At least they exiled Luke before exterminating him. But is it too much to ask to have a random rock somewhere in SWGE - draped in a Jedi robe?
I'm waiting for the Disney princess cross-over: Mulan Rouge.
Make a prequel trilogy?

The Prequels stayed true to the characters of the OT that were included in that prequel time period. No doubt that initially, the prequels were not well received. But they did grow on you (at least me).
My comment wasn't necessarily about the alienation of the fan base due to the films. More so with how they approached the source material in the parks. Maybe "alienate" wasn't the right choice of words. Indifference probably works better. And you don't create a marketing plan to sell a $6k hotel and $200 light sabers around indifference.

To me what's weird is where is the boundary between Star Wars and science fiction/space fantasy?
Disney bought the Star Wars series which is a popular movie series with famous characters and locations but wants to do their own thing it appears.
They made a clean futuristic space hotel and created new aliens. Is that Star Wars? I guess there's a lightsaber mini game to play for a minute?
What is Star Wars about this hotel? This seems to be more for science fiction fans or role playing fans.
Just like with Galaxy's Edge Disney assumed they could make up fake planets and characters and call it Star Wars.
Now with the Star Wars Hotel it's a hotel that looks nothing like Star Wars and features no Star Wars characters. I don't get it. I am a huge Star Wars fan (of the original trilogy and video games) and this does nothing for me, I don't see any appeal to Star Wars fans.
Now imagine a hotel stay on Vader's Star Destroyer? Or Endor? Hoth Base? Iconic locations that are actually Star Wars.
This is for space cosplayers, not Star Wars fans.

Reminds me of certain famous behavior of certain individuals in certain fandoms..
Where they cry "I'm LEAVING FOREVER".. (they never do).
Then wait for others to somehow beg them to stay.
Good thing this forum is clean and concise in giving them a proper friendly shove towards the door and locking it on their way out.

What? you're not counting a living mop (Chewie)?
Everyone here is presuming and commenting based on their own view of the world and bias.
Please don't try to claim that your version or view is the "sole absolute and universal truth"
You can deny that you'd enjoy this, but I don't think you can successfully deny that it's Star Wars related.

I wouldn't enjoy this to be honest.
I'm not even a Harry Potter fan but I can enjoy Universal's offerings because they recreate iconic locations, characters, and items from the Harry Potter films, which are charming and recognizable.
When it turns into a fanfiction extended universe area is when I stop caring. Including one twilek doesn't make this Star Wars to me.
when you disrespect Chewbacca's gender
I understand, but face it -- nobody who's talking really knows what this experience will entail. Might want to wait until some news leaks before you write it off completely...

I completely agree. We are all basing this off of what has been shown so far.
Having been burned by GE and Avengers Campus marketing I'm expecting the worst. Just like GE, Disney is showing concept art months before opening, it's a bad sign.
Galaxy's Edge was showing off all kinds of cool concept art during ABC specials a few months before opening that had elements that were not in the land.
If this hotel is opening in March shouldn't a lot of these concept art pieces be camera ready?
But Disney of course shouldn't reveal all their surprises in their marketing ads. I'm sure there is quite a bit we don't know about.

And that's interesting - If you know of Disney's vision for Harry Potter inclusion into the parks when they were talking to Rowling. Amounted to basically a dark ride and a themed QS place in Fantasyland. Might have been a couple of other things (obviously a Gift Shop). She told TWDC to kick rocks.
But imagine if Uni opened Mountain Meade (sounds like a stout) instead of Hogsmeade. And it was loosely based on Potter with some references here and there. Maybe a Potter themed ride. But not truly Potter. Just kinda "like" Potter. That's the feeling I get walking through SWGE. And maybe not everybody does. We each have our opinions and our experiences can differ. Just what it seems like to me.

Yes! Like doing a Harry Potter based expansion and setting it in the Bulgarian Wizard School which would be perched in a bunch of rockwork and nothing else, and there would be a ride vaguely referring to training for the tournament at Hogsmeade...with a pepper's Ghost character of Viktor Krum.
I feel like the whole thing is just too far away from the source material or the characters that people really loved...Certainly the setting is unfamiliar.
The ROTR is a good attraction...it would have been much more engaging set in the time of Luke and Han and Leia though...
