It more common than you think. Just do a search on Star Wars Weddings and you'll see its very popular. Bridal companies, photographers, etc, all get in on it.
Actually Cosplay Weddings in general are very popular.

That's exactly the problem.Star Wars is not a movie, it's a lifestyle choice.

My sisters wedding was all cosplay where everyone dressed up in different costumes. My sister and her husband dressed up like characters from World of Warcraft complete with swords and all. The minister was dress up like Vader. Its not my thing, but it was fun.

That's fun and creative. It's something they will remember forever. It's better than a pretend Disney Princess wedding that cost more than a house.

Its something I'll remember because it was also my birthday. So they had wedding cupcakes for everyone and I had a personal birthday cake.
To be ironically fair, there is seemingly no correlation with the blessing of size and Disney's decisions to expand or eat away at their park.
WDW has plenty of room, but sometimes it seems like no one has told them that. We can joke plenty about size, but it's funny SW:GE didn't actually expand park borders in Florida, but did in landlocked Disneyland.
Also the thing no one is talking about: the hotel experience offers approximately the same annual capacity as the two rides do in three days. It's literally a 1%er addition. So add an * when we count that towards anything.

From a business's point of view, it is a Bad Idea to just keep expanding while leaving some park areas underutilized. The underutilized areas/attractions aren't bringing in guests, but yet, they're costing the company for operation and maintenance.
GMR needed a huge capital expenditure to update it. So, they decided to spend the money on something new that (I guess) they thought would be more popular and "more Disney." SWL is replacing a moribund Back Lot ride and outdoors studio set and expensive car stunt show. Pandora replaced a place-holding 'temporary' camp Mickey. Ellen's Energy became a joke as a nap ride and it, too, needed big bugs to update the worn down set pieces. Keeping that while building new somewhere else is just bad business.
That being said, the blessing of size did make an appearance: The DHS project expanded into the swamps with the extra parking and the SW Resort. And its footprint was increased recently with Sunset Showcase and with TSL taking over actual back. Ratatouille and GotG and the UK ride are expanding Epcot's footprint. TRON is expanding MK's.

I don’t know... have you ever spent time in Florida? They keep building strip malls only to abandon them 5 yrs later in exchange for a newer bigger one across the street where all the businesses relocate to!

I would never do it but folks have themed weddings everywhere...gotta believe some of our fellow Disney nerds have had their own Disney themed weddings.

I was very surprised that they decided to "fit" SWGE in the space they did at DHS versus expanding the borders a bit more.

Well, not in the park but I could see them rationalizing putting one in the DTD lot...not that I think it will happen.

I refuse to accept any justification for killing GMR when there is so much room to expand, and areas like animation courtyard still exist... you know as well as I do the parks need capacity. Killing one attraction to build another doesn’t get the job done.

They could have updated it with new scenes from more recent movies. They could have had a MCU section with Ironman or even a First Order Star Wars section. Executives just don't think.
