It's just my opinion, but the various lands at DL are all themed around an idea (adventure, frontier, tomorrow, etc) where as Star Wars...is not in the same sense. Going into "Adventureland" really just tells me I'm going to experience "adventure" in the broad sense. Everything at DL is themed that way...except SWL, causing it to stick out from a thematic standpoint.
Umm, SWL is themed around space as an idea. So why is that any different?
Adventureland is a symbol of Walt's love of Polynesia and animals, and was based on his nature documentaries on Africa and Asia. As a whole, the land ties back to the man himself. The land is also not a singular IP, but rather made up of unique attractions, some IP, others not. When it expands, it keeps the same spirit of "adventure" and exploration (with respect to Indiana Jones), without disrupting the feel of the land and its intentions.
Survey 100 people and show me the percentage who would agree with that.
Ah yes, let's bring Walt into this, though he was dead over a decade before the original movie. DL is not a museum, and should never be treated as such. According to the insiders, SWL is going to bring us some of the best attractions anywhere in the world to DL and WDW, not to mention the completely immersive environments.
They could have, since that is the theme of the land. It really seems that most of you are simply getting hung up on the fact that it is called SWL.
Sure, and they could also move IASW and CoP over to EPCOT. Oh, and why not Stitch since that has to do with space as well. C'mon. So no, I don't agree.
Let's not play games. We all know Star Wars Land is based on the IP...Star Wars. Even the billions of people you claim who haven't seen the films. It's right in the title. The land will have the Millennium Falcon, cantinas, characters, and so on. To say that it's themed around space as an idea would be accurate...if Star Wars was a singular attraction within a land of other space themed attractions.
Its called SWL because that's what it is. No one is getting hung up on the areas name when the entirety of the land will be devoted to Star Wars and Star Wars only. Did you happen to catch the panel discussion about it? Its supposed to be an immersive Star Wars-centric experience.
And there are already people stating that Star Tours is going away once SWL opens. Again, it seems like you are getting hung up on the name, and not that it is a totally new and immersive land. Disney wanted to go much bigger than just one attraction added to one land, and I think that was the right way to go. Also remember that there are rumors of the new hotel experience coming after SWL opens. I'm willing to bet that you'll have to reserve that 2 years in advance if you want to get in.
Not really sure what you're point is...I actually could see IASW and CoP being in Epcot...Stitch doesn't belong anywhere...that show is awful.
Yes, I heard about the debate, and guess what - the logos will be there. And it is only space themed. What else is going there to break that theme?
This is a Star Wars themed land.
The point is that talking about moving an existing ride is pointless, since it will never happen. I think Stitch is awful as well. I also don't think that Buzz or Monsters Inc. belong in Tomorrowland either. Since that is an existing land, those do break the theme of Tomorrowland.
Hmm, I don't recall reading any complaints here about Cars Land, since that is also ONLY based on ONE IP. Heck, it's based entirely on only ONE movie, but I don't see y'all screaming to the heavens about it.
Wow it is like talking to a wall with you. Just admit when you're wrong...
Maybe you're still waiting for an answer because you aren't actually listening to what is being said.
I've answered his questions on Adventureland and why my position on SWL is what it is. But it'll never be enough for some because they ignore it and then ask the same questions again just to hear themselves bloviate their own opinions ad nauseum until it tires out anything that contradicts them.
