Ah, OK. My bad!
I assumed this was the DHS thread, since I don’t usually come into the DL forum. Puzzled why I got an alert, I must have posted something.

Random SoCal Pop Culture Observation:
This afternoon driving back up the hill from the beach, I stopped at the La Jolla Vons to get some corn on the cob for tonight. As I parked this attractive young blonde mom pulls in directly across from me in a Range Rover with two toe-headed kids in car seats. She can't be more than 35, perhaps a trophy wife, and she certainly wasn't born 42 years ago when Star Wars was in theaters. She's young, stylish, obviously affluent, living in a very hip neighborhood, driving an expensive cool SUV.
She's faced into the sun so she puts up this exact sun shade on the dashboard of her Range Rover that I found on Google in 4 seconds...
No Poe, Finn, Ray, or even a Fa, So, La, Ti, Do. She's probably just like me, even thought I actually saw Star Wars in June, 1977 at the Cinerama, and can't remember the difference between Poe, Finn, Ray, Fa, So, La, Ti, Do. But she knows who Luke and Obi Wan and Han and Chewie are. And her kids friends probably think she's a cool mom.

OH my gosh, TP...!
Seeing this suddenly brings back the memory of seeing a car with this very same windshield shade cover in a local mall parking lot almost weekly ten years or so ago.
Obviously owned by a employee who must have worked in the mall somewhere, I remember always seeing this and thinking it was pretty entertaining in the sea of automobiles.
Glad to see that someone else has now inherited the task of entertaining passerby with this same windshield cover all these years later!

I wonder where you buy this. I saw the same thing in a grocery parking lot.Random SoCal Pop Culture Observation:

I think it would be totally okay for Disney to drop a few Captain EO characters in GE. I've always thought the Captain EO story existed in the same universe as Star Wars.

Let’s start with a hooter AA in the cantina and some fuzzballs for sale at the bazaar that sit on your shoulder like those salacious crumbs.

BD-3000 luxury droid/Legends
The BD-3000 luxury droid, nicknamed the Bettie Bot,[5] was a versatile luxury attendant droid built by LeisureMech Enterprises. The BD-3000 was modeled on an idealized female humanoid body shape. It was programmed with a basic linguistic database, which made it capable of speaking over a million...

Heck, bring in the whole band from Captain EO plus Dj R3x.
I just realized that Hooter and Max Rebo are kind of similar:

Apparently it's a thing, at least for La Jolla trophy wives. Is your grocery store also in La Jolla, by chance?
I just checked Amazon and it's there under the search "Star Wars Windshield Sun Shade". They also have a BB-8 one. They don't sell any that have Poe, Finn, Ray, Fa, So, La, Ti or Do. Only the original 1970's/80's characters, and BB-8 who appears to be the only recent character people like. I'm dumb and old, and even I know and like BB-8.
You would think Mr. Chapek, Scott Trowbridge, and WDI in general would've realized that by just a quick Amazon search before they built their Billion Dollar Star Wars Land that has none of those characters except Chewie In Mourning over Han Solo's death, but alas, here we are.
Back OT, why isn't BB-8 found anywhere in Star Wars Land? He was there in the concept art a few years ago, but is entirely absent from the land here in 2019. Seriously, Mr. Chapek, is there anything likable that you didn't cut?!?

Kind of related when it comes to younger people being into the original Star Wars. My 26 year old sister and my 8 year old daughter love the original movies, and could care less about the pre-quell and the new trilogies. My 8 year old thinks she'll see Darth Vader, Chewbacca and Yoda at SGE, and could care less about the new characters, and this is why SGE was never a well thought plan.Random SoCal Pop Culture Observation:

I think you have a fair point, I would only modify to say it's currently not a well-executed plan. Everything can be fixed, it's just a matter of $$$.
