Totally agree. As for merchandise, very true, we saw this happen in Pandora. As we know the Star fan base is much larger than Avatar.

Star Wars Land Demand vs Capacity

I agree that what is being built is nowhere large enough to satisfy demand. Let me state that i am one of those people who "had a doctors appointment" at work to see SW-Ep4 in 77. The demand will be crazy but many of us from those days have reached a point where seeing GE will not be worth the hassle and crowds.
Disney - take my money please but let me be comfortable and enjoy myself while you take it.
I am afraid that GE will only fulfill the first part of my request.

I can't be the only one who wishes they just made an entire Star Wars park. I feel like that's the only true solution to the demand this little land is going to get.

I have a friend who is a huge SW fan and doesn't feel that his 4h window at DL would be sufficient. Even only riding one ride.

The DL entry reservations are for a 4hr 'window' of time.

Just to get in or to spend time in the land?

Purely conjecture at this point with zero days of operation in any park.

Right now the WWoHP has 3 attractions, with flight of the hippogriff being underwhelming. The new coaster will be huge. Even with one of my daughters doing none of the attractions, we still managed to pack a day with just WWoHP, and we would have been happy to pay the near $200 one-day-two-park ticket (we ended up getting a 3-day ticket for just a little more).
When Rise of the Resistance opens, there will be a good amount to do. I have to imagine that there were discussions on bigger options - more attractions. To some degree it's a calculation of additional revenue vs. investment. However, one 'feature' is that the lands are nearly identical in DL & DHS. How much more space would DL have to expand?
I like the idea of forgoing FP+. You'd have people going into the land just to do those rides taking away from the people truly immersed. The land is about much more than just the rides - somewhat opposed to Pandora. I see myself doing near full days at Galaxy's Edge where I've never spent more than a few hours at Pandora. There will be a ton to see in the shops & restaurants, the CM, and the guests getting into it. Diagon Alley is some nook in London. Black Spire Outpost is a whole other world.
My dad has been to WDW with me 5 times in the past 20 years. He does not enjoy the parks. He loved the Void VR experience (as well as the A Christmas Story ICE display). I've found that Disney Springs is the best spot for my family with my parents. I'll get him to Galaxy's Edge, at some point, and I'll see what he thinks.
There is huge planned expansion: the hotel! It will hit a lot of the points you mention: limited entry and uncharge! I think it will be a true test of the immersive environment. Do people really like visiting Delos's Star Wars World?
I like the idea of something like they're doing at DL to avoid monster lines.

I think you get 4 hrs in the land. Don't get in without it, so shouldn't be too crowded. They opened it first to those staying on-property at DL. Too many on-property rooms at WDW to guarantee that.

I think some of it will boil down to whether they bring FP+ in. If they do, I'd imagine the lines for the attractions will be longer than Flight of Passage. I think there will be plenty to do in the land besides the attractions, and that non-attraction immersion is what I'm most looking forward to. How insane were the crowds at WWoHP 1.5 years after opening?

Haven't been since a child in 1990 when it was MGM studios...is it too simplistic to hope this land (and to a lesser degree avatar land at AK) makes the rest of the park much more tolerable crowd wise? Planning trip with 3 young kids Nov 2020...not that into SW...not being fresh, serious question.
The issue will be how DHS manages the

Not a chance. When you're bringing in larger crowds to the park, everything in the park is going to be busier. The overflow has to go somewhere, and that will be to the other rides, attractions and shows.

What he said ^^^^. Especially with a virtual queue system in effect at least to start. But even afterwards, the park is likely to be far busier. Which will be made worse by the fact there just isn’t the capcity in DHS to eat up the crowds waiting for SW:GE.

Rumoured to be coming.
Rumor - Version of MaxPass coming to WDW in May?
I was scrolling one of the DVC member newsfeeds this morning on Facebook and someone dropped on instagram how her and her family were able to do multiple FOP rides in one day due to something new that was coming out in May, but she couldn't go into detail just yet. Lots of comments were thinking...

And with the delay of Mickey and Minnie's Runaway Railway, I think Disney has truly lost their marbles and really do not care how miserable Hollywood Studios will be in Late 2019.

If you want my honest opinion, I'm willing to bet Magic Kingdom, EPCOT and Animal Kingdom will all get Star Wars lands too. Disney will somehow make them thematically tie in (to varying degrees of success, of course) so that way, all the Star Wars fanatics need to visit all four parks.

No, I believe that the FP only system will be in place at Disneyland. HS will be using stand-by ONLY in the beginning for Galaxy's Edge. Its almost like Disney is performing a social experiment to see which system works better.
