And there it is folks.....uncovered in the most unlikely of places.
Excellent snooping job, to whoever found this buried within the codes.

Yes, I addressed that a couple of posts up from your post.

It really does. I like it better than the star wars experience, or whatever the insiders were throwing around

Yeah, I think you're right. The fact that this is supposed to be a trading village that is located at the edge of the Outer Rim Territories is key to the story they are trying to tell. What kind of people would be traveling through this kind of area? Who would occupy this planet? I imagine some very interesting characters, many of whom likely have questionable backgrounds. I mean beyond this outpost is Wild Space, so it is extremely far from the Core. Just naming the area after the planet it's on or by the name of the village wouldn't convey the same message that Galaxies Edge does. I have a feeling we'll soon learn the name of the planet but the more I think about it, Galaxies Edge, if that is truly the name, works really well. I think it tells us a lot about the kind of story we will be living when we visit this new area.

They can open a Star Wars area in one of the Asian parks in the future without having to append something on to "Star Wars Experience" like "Star Wars Experience: Endor In Peril". Now they could just have "Star Wars" in front of the name for an area in Asia and use the Galaxy's Edge phrase for other media that has to do with the things in the park.

I just assumed it would be called Star Wars Land.
Honestly, that's the most clear and marketable name, and so that's what I think they'll wind up going with. It also fits better alongside the name Toy Story Land in DHS, and the names Aventureland, Fronteirland, Fantasyland, and Tomorrowland in DL.
If they named the addition to DCA Cars Land instead of Radiator Springs, I don't see how or why this is getting named anything other than Star Wars Land. I'm not against it, I just can't see it.
If my memory serves me correctly, Disney said they were going to reveal the name at some convention a year or two back, and at that convention, Harrison Ford called it "The Star Wars Experience," so people including myself took that as the name. Then Disney just kept on calling it Star Wars Land, so we realized, well, that isn't the name. I don't know what happened internally.

They're never going to build a Star Wars Land in Asia. Definitely for Paris, but not for one of the Asian parks.

I went to D23 Expo this afternoon and looked at the giant model. Pictures and video can't do it justice. What was surprising in real life was just how sprawling and deep the "town" portion of the land is on the right side of the model. There's so many buildings and structures and alleys and streets! There's a lot of space there to flesh out all sorts of experiences with retail/dining/entertainment. WOW!
I think the "remote outpost" element of this land's story will be an important one. Thus the "Galaxy's Edge" title really will sum it up and explain what we're doing there and why.

So I guess the acronym would be SW:GE?

I think @marni1971 already gave us the GE

I sort of remember, but I can't find the post. Did you? Could you please help a lost traveler?
Why not?

Did you meet Mark Hamill like I did?
And you didn't try to meet me?
Oops!
I just sort of ended up there on a whim. But I'm glad I did it. I saw Mark Hammill as he was driven by in the parade past the WDI Pavilion. I was actually more impressed with the old electric cars they were using to chaueffeur Hammill and Stan Lee around the showfloor for the parade. Walt used to drive around Disneyland in those same cars! Nice touch, D23!
