That’s why I called it a easy fix. Not much changes needed on the outside, but why pretend it is Batuu that wasn’t featured in any movie. Calling it Tattooine means they can feature Original Trilogy walkabout characters and the Cantina is real Star Wars in Mos Eisley instead of fake stand-in.

I don’t even get your objection. They can do whatever they want with the graphics and pilot control.

I rather have Batuu then Tattooine as others have said Batuu isn’t the problem.

You could change out hondo for an animatronic Jabba the hutt that’s something a lot of people would like to see me included!
The fans are obviously the problem. I'm sure Lucasfilms agrees. Sequel Trilogy tanks. We gave you what you SHOULD love. It's all your fault!!!

Nope, we the fans don't have control of the content, they do. It's up to them to try and make the best decisions, and it seems the Mando crew gets it
You didn't get sarcasm. Okay, if fans don't have control of the content, they have the right to not like what's being served.

You don’t have to like the sequel trilogy it has problems. I enjoy most of it (their are parts that have problems). Batuu versus Tattooine has nothing to do with the sequel trilogy it is a planet that exists in both timelines.
Mando is excellent, it can be easily written he stopped in Batuu.

Sarcasm can be easily missed when the topic is SW, which brings very vocal opinions out
Batuu doesn't exist if you don't visit Disney Star Wars in the theme parks. So what reason do you have to go to Galaxy's Edge? If the Sequel Trilogy is it, then it's even less reason to go. Tatooine exists in both prequel and original trilogy. It's a ready made market.

Their are millions of planets in Star Wars. I don’t understand why we can’t just have an original planet for the parks. Like I said, it has nothing to do with the sequels. This is a planet that has always existed in the universe (yes, it was made up for the land) but in the Star Wars Galaxy this planet has always existed.
They can set it in a different era that doesn’t really matter. The planet Batuu though always has existed though.

From my understanding the whole point of them choosing Batuu is so they wouldn't be tied down to any one specific trilogy of films. They shot themselves in the foot by setting it in-between what would become the "divisive" Star Wars films Ep 8 & 9 even though both of these films had yet to be released. A lot of people seem to forget that this land and the decisions were made for it long before Ep 8 and 9 were released. In hindsight, they should've gone with Batuu being an all inclusive Star Wars land not tied to any specific time period.
I can understand your point of view to keep trying, but Star Wars is a specific place and time that they keep going back for stories and inspiration. They can keep hammering, but at some point they should decide if it's Star Wars or his evil alter ego.

Batuu is in the books/comics, so it does exist outside of Disney Parks
How many millions of books and comics were sold before they decided to base Stars Wars land off of Batuu? No, actually, they came after. I'm sure millions of people seen Batuu in Galaxy's Edge because of Star Wars and many left perplexed.

Disney keeps pushing Batuu to non theme park goers, and it's getting to be kind of sad.

"In fact, Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge #1 from Marvel Comics only sold a paltry 30,000 copies last year. This is very low for a Star Wars book, even though all Star Wars comics have been declining in sales."

No. They put it in the books and comics after they decided to call the land Batuu. Books and comics the majority of people do not read. They didn't even include it in one of the new movies that is how inept Disney's Star Wars is.

I don't see how any of that is relevant to the point that Batuu is not exclusive to Disney ParksHow many millions of books and comics were sold before they decided to base Stars Wars land off of Batuu? No, actually, they came after. I'm sure millions of people seen Batuu in Galaxy's Edge because of Star Wars and many left perplexed.

Try reading before replying, no one said Batuu existed before the land was created, I said Batuu is not exlusive to Disney Parks, which is what the original poster claimed was the case

Considering how few people actually know what it is, it might as well be exclusive to the park...
In my original post, I was referring to the movies where it doesn't exist. The books and comics are irrelevant and few bought them. Even Lucasfilms decided to obliterate the expanded Star Wars Universe where it didn't suit them.
