The big thing in the background reminds me of the arena from Episode II.

Image of DHS' SWL (DONT SHOUT AT ME) but looking at the ship atop the roof in comparison with the rest of the land...wow.

Seriously, how could anyone -- SW fan or not -- not be excited to experience something that looks like this?!

Location. The land looks great and I'm excited but I perfectly understand why people wouldn't want it in Disneyland.

Well there was a reference to Batuu's Black Spires in the Solo movie. L3 mentions that Lando couldn't even find the Black Spires without her. The book Thrawn: Alliances mentions Batuu too.

The only plausible argument against it I can fathom (and slightly adhere too...again, don't shout at me) is its placement and the guest impact it will have on an already over-crowded park. But as a feat of Imagineering...no question.

We've been hearing that argument for years now. It doesn't hold water.

Placement disagreement is a subjective argument that only "holds water" to someone who supports it. It's like trying to argue that DL's castle is too small. At the end of the day, its just a preference. As for pushing attendance into astro-orbit...we'll have to wait and see.

Just like arguing the Earth is flat. It only "holds water" to Flat Earthers not science or logic.

Well, actually, "Flat Earth" isn't a subjective argument. It's (wrongly) trying to prove an objective truth.

It's been showing up in more and more canon material lately (Solo: A Star Wars Story and Thrawn: Alliances to name two) so... could be. I honestly hadn't thought of that possibility.

Are they (corporate) pushing to make DL into a tourist destination like WDW??
TROR

They've been doing that since 2001.

Isn't it already? I know local AP's populate it mostly, but there has never been a day I've gone there and not seen some massive tour group from somewhere far away.

Generally speaking I would say everyone west of the blue line has Disneyland as their Disney vacation destination and east of the blue line has WDW as their Disney vacation destination. This isn't based on surveys or science or anything, just what I feel to be true.

Except you do see a lot of Asian and European tourists at Disneyland. I've noticed the Germans and the Chinese seem to love Universal Studios Hollywood.

Hopefully there will be another Disney drone fly over

Difference between 'destination resort' - where you stay multiple days, and it anchors your stay or even primary reason to travel.
vs
'tourist destination' - where you come there to visit specifically for recreation, but is likely one of multiple places you visit, and usually for a short duration only (1-2 days).
The entire concept between DLR was to take Disneyland from a tourist destination to a destination resort. It's only marginally succeeded at that... and the bulk of visitors are still short duration stays. The new hotels and bundling that will bring will probably start to push the line of that more.
