I know you're being sarcastic, but considering the changes to ST and the ability to update costumes for characters, GE can be updated as the story changes over the decades.

I don’t believe it will. Beyond new MFSR missions.

Yes, that and the characters in the land (walking and animatronic). So, basically everything except RotR.

The entirety of Star Wars is made up.

If only the new movies were not so horrible. Imagine if they made it based on the original trilogy, they would have made SO MUCH MONEY. But alas it is a new planet that no one cares about, with characters no one cares about, and a storyline that is horrible and no one cares about.
You would think the amazing storytellers at Disney would do better... but then again Kathleen Kennedy was involved with the story so there was no chance.

Ever heard the term canon? Tatooine is canon. Coruscant, Bespin, Hoth, Naboo, Endor, Dagobah etc. is canon. Baatu is not.

The walk around characters and MF visuals are “basically everything except RotR”? Not in my experience. I spent 5 hours in the land. 10 min total riding MFSR. No significant character interaction.

Another important point. There is not much to do in SWGE if you cannot spend a lot of money. In a Land based on the OS you could just enjoy being there, you could go to places that evoke memories and feelings. You could just spend time by breathing finally the star wars armosphere. But instead you are in a place with zero history and zero memories connected to.

Look, I hate Last Jedi as much as the next guy (though for filmmaking reasons, not any of this "too much feminism" BS), but Batuu is canon. It's made multiple canonical appearances since 2018. Also, having been there opening day, GE was actually really fun, though there are some negatives.
(Also, for the record, I actually really enjoyed Force Awakens)

Baatu is considered canon.

OK then correct me if I am wrong, where in the canonical Star Wars franchise is Batuu mentioned before SWGE?

I take it you mean before the SWGE books came out? Either way it first appeared in Thrawn: Alliances.

Solo, the comics, and some of the books.
And I believe the current decree is that anything Star Wars puts out now, regardless of the medium, is given equal weight. It's not like the pre-Disney days where there were levels to it.

Uh huh because walking into the main cabin of the Falcon and strapping yourself into the pilot seat and pulling the level to take the ship to hyperspace has nothing to do with the "history and memories" of the OT. Or the A-wing fighter?
I don't think hyperbole really helps this debate. I found plenty to evoke my memories of the OT and love of Star Wars. I liked blue milk too.

O.......K , I wish I could visit before 2021... the land looks amazing... walking onto the falcon... that famous spaceship from the original trilogy and sitting at that chess table made famous in the original trilogy will be fantastic in my opinion.

Batuu/black spire outpost has been mentioned in Solo:
"You couldn't get from here to Black Spire without me, now you're going to make the Kessel Run? Ha!"―L3-37, to Lando Calrissian"
it also has made a lot of appearances in new canon novels, like thrawn: alliances, pirate's price and most recently, black spire.
""On Batuu, at the edges of the Unknown Regions, a threat to the Empire is taking root, its consequences as yet unknowable. But it is troubling enough to the Imperial leader to warrant investigation by his most powerful agents: Lord Darth Vader and brilliant strategist Grand Admiral Thrawn." - partial synopsis for Thrawn alliances
It also has it's own comic book series and will probably keep making appearances in future media as disney continues to push it. whether one likes it or not is totally up to them, I respect all opinions about the new land and star wars in general but there is no denying the fact that batuu is a planet in the new star wars canon. Our story there in the park takes place between episodes 8 and 9, which is why chewie has hondo (clone wars) making repairs to the falcon after the battle of crait.
more info for anyone who wants it, there have been more appearances too!

Having the land based on the Sequel Trilogy is like opening the original Harry Potter Land and having it all based on Fantastic Beasts. Starring Newt, Jacob, Queenie, and Grindlewald. And setting it 70 years before Potter/Weasley/Granger are born.

To me this is SW adult fans + Disney adult fans = a group completely unrepresentative of Disney's target audience, even more so than is typical.
