I think you re right in that it makes slightly more sense. Eventhough you can follow the whole “it’s still an adventure park in California” logic which I subscribe to. I think the fact that “DAP” makes a little more sense is trumped by the branding they already have with “DCA.” Not to mention the fact that they have Adventureland at DL and DAP sounds a little too generic and is not phonetically pleasing.

Basically SWGE should just have a rotating series of overlays to go with each of the 3 trilogies within the Skywalker timeline.
I think it’s just a matter of time until they bring back Soarin Over California in some capacity. The question is will it be for some limited time run, be only available for after hour events like Disney After Dark or will it be an option during regular operating hours.
Basically Star Tours 2.0 - The Land.

Galaxy's Edge was designed to be as flexible as possible so it can adapt to any direction the franchise goes. That's why it's basically a generic SW-ish outpost combining as much SW-ish elements as they could cram in. In the long haul, I wouldn't expect it to remain any more logical regarding the timeline than Toontown.
And, remember folks, if people ever just get sick and tired of SW, this whole land can become Discovery Bay!

I figured they were going for something like that...it's the only thing that makes sense. But there again, I think this is a problem of IP-based lands/attractions only. You don't have to maneuver these issues with original ideas.Galaxy's Edge was designed to be as flexible as possible so it can adapt to any direction the franchise goes.

One additional point to remember that GE was designed before Disney bought Fox. So Disney still didn't have distro rights to the original SW. So why reference something you can't put out and make money on. Now fast forward to 18 months from now when Fox is under Disney and GE is open, you'll see new box sets of all current SW films with the Disney name on them.

Perhaps, like the Nexus in Star Trek: Generations, time has no meaning there.

The likelihood of Disney not actually getting Fox at this point is pretty slim in my opinion. This is just the analysts and insiders playing what if games as tends to happen after deals have been announced. "Ohhh, what if xyz company comes in with an over the top bid for them, how will that play out...".
Besides Disney has deep pockets, and Iger doesn't seem like a man who likes to lose. So even if Comcast comes in with a higher bid, don't count out Disney, they'll likely counter.

Not saying it's likely to happen either...but I wouldn't put it past another company to at least try and outbid Disney.

Like I said, Disney has deep pockets, and Iger doesn't seem like a man who likes to lose. So even if Comcast comes in with a higher bid, don't count out Disney, they'll likely counter and win because Murdoch wants to sell to Disney.

No arguments there. Iger very clearly gets what Iger wants.

Yep, Iger already has plans for Fox as noted in the earnings call from yesterday. So at this point unless Comcast came in with a huge offer like over 100 Billion I don't see how Disney won't get Fox. But that would mean that Comcast would have to basically leverage everything to the hilt. Comcast is currently debt heavy whereas Disney is not. So Disney has more ability to extend credit over what Comcast can. Which means Disney has more money available to it over Comcast.

It just gets stupid scary when you realize the amount of money guys like Iger can just toss around...
