What is the average review? Absolutely amazing and the greatest thing Disney's ever built? Or "it's ok"? Because it's certainly not the former.

7.5/10 is a C+ grade. That's poor for an E-ticket.

The overall reaction is MEH.

Just stand at the exit and watch the faces as they meander out vs folks coming out of HP lands in FL and it tells you all you need to know. Minimal enthusiasm and smiles. Like people leaving the DMV.

He has more than one costume (outside of when he goes shirtless)?

Yeah, as this takes place after Last Jedi where he smashed his mask, he should be helmetless or have the repaired version from Rise of Skywalker. However, we saw it being repaired in the trailer, so judging by the time frame... probably just shouldn't have one, canonically speaking. I don't mind him having one, I prefer it actually since it's a great helmet and he looks much better that way, but if they wanna do the whole 'in continuity' thing.

Star Wars Land at DHS is basically finished now. They are just putting finishing touches on it, which is easy because Mr. Chapek already cut out most of the extra entertainment and finishing touches anyway.
Can we take a moment to notice the physical differences in layout, entry points, etc.?
I was a very naughty boy a couple years ago by starting the discussion that Disneyland's was bigger. It certainly still looks that way to me!
Here's the DHS land entry by the Resistance ride that doesn't work.
Star Wars Resistance: The Ride! - Presented by Carrier Air Conditioning.
Which compares to the Disneyland version and it's Critter Country entrance area. The actual entry portal is cut off here, still a bit further south down the winding pathway under the railroad trestle. But you can see some marked differences in placement and size here.
Also of note is the alternate entrance at DHS from Toy Story Land. There's only one entrance, roughly what is the "middle entrance" at Disneyland off the Big Thunder walkway.
Versus Disneyland.
But the third and most eastern entrance tunnel at Disneyland that leads to a domed structure is blocked off at DHS and filled in with landscaping instead of an entry portal.
I can't wait for identically accurate Google Earth type satellite images of both lands. It's apparent there are some major differences in land use and layout between the coasts. Especially around the Resistance ride, which will need all the extra room it can get once it opens sometime next decade.

Also if you look very closely you’ ll note that they’re both not any fun.

It looks brighter, more colorful in Florida? I can see it's not identical as the blue X-Wing and A-Wing are on opposite sites of the walkway.

It does. Governor DeSantis got Facebook to put a really nice Instagram filter over the entire state.

I think it looks kinda better.

They do? I’m guessing they didn’t do the same at DL to blend better with the ROA/ rocks. They could have have a splash of color to the areas that are only seen at Galaxies Edge though

They should’ve painted Disneyland’s to match Big Thunder’s colors.

I’d prefer Big Thunder to remain unique.

And honestly, do any of those tall rocks add any value/impact on your experience when you're inside the land? IMO they managed to simultaneously waste the money on all of that high rockwork, caused themselves to be boxed into a color/style to tie to ROA that made the land further bland/depressing, and made ugly visual intrusions throughout the park. WDI at its navel-gazing finest.

Perhaps a bit darker and a bit more red, like Paris'.
This is a good point. Other than the Falcon's exterior, almost none of the rocks can even be seen in the land and seem like a complete waste. I imagine they must be viewable from ROTR's queue, but I'm not sure that's enough to justify their existence.

I think they have more of an impact outside of the land than inside with the exception of the Falcon area. (See the pic I took below) That’s the only place it has any real impact. The rocks might do more for me if they had some moss and more green mixed in- like the concept art. I will say they do a good job at being a berm - not that it’s the only way to do it.
