Well....it's why the land was created in the first place. Without the movies and the love for them....there is no Star Wars Land.

It may be because they are not the focus of the trilogy...
Agree to some extent, and maybe that was the first plan, but they did not really that path. If they had, they would have focused on the Big 3 in the first one and have them turn the baton over for the 2nd and third. Heck, Poe was even supposed to die early in TFA but J.J. changed the script because he liked the character and how OI brought him to life. Instead, they decided to initially focus on each of the big 3 for each sequel movie. Han, then Luke and then Leia for the third one. Dumb for them to think that the audience would fall in love with Rey and Finn with Han, Luke and Leia running around.
The next mistake was not changing the movie after CF’s passing. I understand the sensitivity to it. But, they had at least two opportunities in the story to give her death meaning, and they passed on it. Instead, the focus remained on Luke turning his back on everyone, which is not the Luke Skywalker that GL created. And now they have to piece stuff together with Leia and hope it fits and flows.

I’m apparently one who is an outlier when it comes to TFA and TLJ. I think both are brilliant. For totally different reasons.
TFA rebooted a brand and made it fun and consequential. The TLJ took those expectations and injected a real hard life lesson into the ideal of the hero’s journey. Rarely in life do things turn out the way you plan them to- and that’s the entire point of TLJ. And while at first
I was baffled (but very entertained) as I sat in the theater watching a broken Luke, upon reflection I love his character and how his physical arc ended. Noble, mysterious and ultimately Jedi- like. Now- the film is far from perfect- but it does two things (that also spur the SJW arguments, which are silly and pointless) but it demonstrates that those who are influential are broken and flawed. Also- it reframed how the force can be used throughout the SW universe. Not to make it more accessible to ANYONE, but to make it more acceptable as a political force. It made the force a true living thing that is available to those who are able to recognize it and feel it’s power and mysticism. That doesn’t mean EVERYONE can physically use it- far from it. It just means that there is more of a blatant acceptance of it as a spiritual force within the SW galaxy. And it opens up a larger scope of how The Force can be used as a story telling device.
Just my two cents.

Hah of course Disneyland opens theirs first. Another one in the long running tradition of Florida being copycats, even though for this one it’s a simultaneous project.
