If they do decide to add an attraction there in the future they really need to consider also the addition of the sit down eatery. The land really needs a real restaurant that compliments the cantina. A two story building can work there so that they at least get the capacity of the Carthay.

It probably is, haven't heard much about it lately but they really should get it going and when they do they should keep in consideration any possible expansion in that corner of the property. Seems like lately they piece meal things by designing one thing at a time instead of seeing the whole picture. then they go back and spend double the money to rebuild things and screw it up more.

I’d rather two rides be built than a ride and a restaurant.
Do we really need to spend more money here, especially when Blue Bayou and Cafe Orleans is only a short stroll away??
Also wouldn’t mind if they built Smuggler’s Alley, which is heavily featured in the books but mysteriously missing from the land. Would love the see a creepy Dug animatronic, or visit Oga herself as she overseas her underworld operations.

I too think they should have at least two more rides and at least one trill/coaster hybrid type of ride. If they do indeed need a highly themed sit down restaurant then I really hope they make it two floors and somehow connect it to the cantina so they can serve those drinks there too.

An indoor coaster would be pretty dope. The Star Wars overall in space mountain certainly is a lot of fun.

All the building space in I've outlined in green is not accessible to the public right now. I'm not sure what's in it, but could be used for sit down restaurant expansion. During construction I thought that area was going to be the restaurant. It may still be slated for that and budget cuts halted it.

Yeah that’s where the dinner theatre was supposed to go. So where is the third ride supposed to go ?

Bingo. It’s like the majority of the complaints about SR and how “lifeless” the land is. After a while it’s just noise from the same handful of characters and a fake insider that is forgotten when you actually visit the land in person.

In the red box. They could make the entrance in the archway to the left of the First Order Cargo store.

Is it the same expansion paid for both though? Can we get the dinner theatre AND the third ride? Or is it one or the other ?

The space for the restaurant is still there. It is the space that is just to the left of the building marked in green and below the red box area.

Reportedly, as of this week nothing is in the plans at all.
Changes for Galaxy's Edge Temporarily On Hold

"Per a reliable source, I'm informed that an upcoming meeting in two weeks to determine potential changes / expansions for Galaxy's Edge has been put on hold with a tentative meeting in April that exists more as a placeholder than anything. This meeting was to be attended physically or via teleconference by Bob Chapek, Megan Crumpacker, Vanessa Morrison, Kris Theiler, Josh D'Amaro, Phil Holmes, and Kareem Daniel (among others). The cancellation of this meeting is directly due to the closure of parks in Asia, which is placing a hold on all potential future expansion expenditures for domestic parks until a more firm outlook in that region can be determined. Furthermore, I was told that a contingency plan is in place should Asian parks remain closed for significant durations that would see one of the water parks at WDW closed for the spring, as well as all mini-golf venues, and reduced hours at the parks (think opening times of 10 am for non-MK parks). All of these changes are ONLY on the table if Asian parks stay closed for months. The belief is that WDW can absorb cuts much better than DLR, which is already being run on lower staffing due to the summer "Close the Gap" initiative. Regardless though, any changes for Galaxy's Edge at either US park is now on hold."
And then our friend Marni chimes in with this...
"Disneyland was hit hard last summer. I had a chat last week with someone who went into detail about how badly. This would be a double whammy that would also have a knock on effect on the east coast."
That Guest List for that cancelled Star Wars Land Expansion meeting had these folks, with their titles which are helpful to track how this was going to play out...

C-3PO is back! Only at DisneylandAfterDark (buy your tickets on the app today! ApplePay now accepted!)
Why would Disney possibly bring back a beloved character in their billion dollar land? If you guessed “because it’s an upcharge event” you’re RIGHT!
Great reminder to us all that Disney Magic is alive and well, for small fee of only $109!

I mean, would woulda thunk that people have an emotional connection to beloved characters, characters that should be in the land by default.
How do you feel about this, Margaret? Scott?
