Anyway, I wonder if this next post I found from 2017 about Disney moving away from the zoo concept could be useful context, although since then Disney has been putting Animal Kingdom zoo shows on Disney+, so maybe things have changed?

Not an insider. Didn't come to pass, in fact, DAK has added animals since then, and some Tropical Americas animals are incoming.

Capybaras are gonna be so smart.
Capybaras are one of the dumbest animals. They make sheep look like Rhodes Scholars.

I'll be excited for capybaras only if they were being raised as food for the predators.

I still don't expect jaguars though.
Our insiders have said only a few non-predators were going to be introduced. So, yeah, no Jags.

Nooo, Capys are cute!!! 😭

If it means anything, I got told Tapirs are happening also. An aviary-thing might be in the cards with toucans and macaws?

Hopefully it’s more than one jolly Toucan’s, because two-can sound’s better than one Toucan (can)!
This is a very drawn out tiki room reference

Currently this is just words (and imo, studios isn't going to do this for AWHILE if it happens because of courtyard and launch bay needing to be fixed up), but there is an internal desire to bridge GE to Star Tours, but performance of GE has been lacking to where this is one of those things that keep being shuffled back.

Imo I'd keep an eye on how that Mando movie does.

As a reminder, I don't mind discussion on this thread, but I don't want to just be purely discussion, nor am I self-sourcing myself for rumors. The rumor mill outside of me digging stuff up has been slow, so just hang tight. This was just a special announcement.
Why are they so scared to do the Death Star, or anything from the OG trilogy? That’s what everyone wants.

My hypothesis is that they don’t want to recast Luke, Han, or Leia for preshow/VO things. Audiences are so used to the original actors that recasting them will feel off. They could do the Rogue One/Mando effect, but I don’t think it will hold up to much scrutiny over time.

I think because that wouldn't be as flexible a space. They created a new planet, that they can create any story they want. In the future they could say that Luke visited Batuu in the past and bring out all Trilogy characters. Or, in the future they could develop new highly popular characters and put them in Batuu. It's a generic outpost. You can insert any characters that you want.

The Death Star forces (hmm) us into the Trilogy as
it doesn't survive past Ep.6.

Or you can change SGE into an entirely different place/IP at lot easier than the Death Star.

Okay okay. Pack it up, Imagineering board is that way.

Due to the impending D23, this thread is going on LOCKDOWN.

Please do not have any discussion or theory-imagineering after this post. Thank you for understanding.
Wait I posted this on the wrong thread.

I would like to say that I am sorry. I have made a severe and continuous lapse in judgement.

Anyways here’s an 8 minute Ukulele song…
