The crazy thing is it truly wasn’t ever going to be E-ticket caliber beyond the queue. This was always a D-ticket at best.
But didn’t Disney advertise it as such?

Of course they did. It’s the Millennium Falcon. But Disney marketing’s job is to sell the product... a product they know little about. Even Chapek likely knew little about it when talking.But didn’t Disney advertise it as such?
Egg zactly! And out of all the ways to get got, this was the silliest! And they're usually good at not getting in these situations?? I dont understandIt would have been more “fair and square” if the reservations were tied to a ticket sale versus anyone being able to just grab one regardless of actual intention levels of attending.
Once everyone who wants one has one (like with the Pandora Banshees), I think there will be fewer and fewer people willing to dole out the $200 for a Lightsaber. I expect changes to this experience within a year or so.Jason Cochran at Frommer's posted a slideshow with some really great tips and info for visiting:
Your Visit to Star Wars: Galaxy's Edge Will Be Much Better if You Know These Things First
Interesting that you have to pay up front for the lightsaber experience and you can't just be a viewer like Olivander's.

Yoda speaks to you from beyond. Special ominous lighting cues and music. A spieler describes the lore of the lightsaber. It is very much a show, in exactly the same way Ollivander's is... (But there's 10 minutes in the middle where it's just people Build-A-Bear-ing their sabers, yes.)What are you going to view. People putting a lightsaber together? That’s not a show.
And you're right to think it, the hype is going to die down so quick on these things it's wont even be funny, they really don't have a return on them like the wands, they literally are to take home and never bring back for a purpose.Once everyone who wants one has one (like with the Pandora Banshees), I think there will be fewer and fewer people willing to dole out the $200 for a Lightsaber.

Or send them to the front for package pick up at end of the day.During my visit it looked like people were having a blast carrying those super long boxes/cases around with them all day haha. I don't think they fit it in lockers either so your kind of stuck with them unless you make the long hike to the parking lot.
Are they doing that for the lightsabers? Because I saw many people walking around with those boxes. Or maybe they don't know that service is available.Or send them to the front for package pick up at end of the day.

Sorry.,,this is crazy talk ...Smugglers Run is definitely
An “E-Ticket” ride. I can’t believe anyone would argue otherwise.
I've noticed people who haven't been to Galaxy's Edge or folks who weren't able to get reservations will not hesitate to crap all over SWGE any chance they get. It's funny.
