I honestly think most people won't notice that it's set in the new trilogy. Even big fans may not notice because of characters like Chewie, R2-D2, C-3PO, etc around and the Falcon, ya know, having a ride (and being built to scale).
If the land is good enough people won't care. I don't necessarily have an opinion either way, but as long as the land is of quality that's all I really care about.
Yeah the big fans will be looking forward to the second tier characters. A meet n greet with the Emporer in his throne would have never had a line. Or the actual Cantina, or Jabbas Lair. Those things would suck.
Now, visiting a random bar, with Stormtroopers and unknown characters. THAT's a dream come true.

Right now, Vader is the only Iconic Character that wouldn’t be in Batuu if this is new trilogy (and beyond) anyway. Vader is a big character to not have though.
R2-D2, C-3PO, Chewie, and even old Luke, Han and Leia if they really wanted.
I think it’s as simple as Disney wants the guests to focus on their movies and not the past.
That have said GE takes place after Episode IX. We already know no OT main characters can be there, unless Leia is played by a new actress. Snoke is gone. Kylos mask is gone. Ther is NOTHING but the droids and Chewie (maybe).
Although a Boss Nass/Jar Jar and Storm Troopers FB764 and X745Q meet and greets would definitely garner hours long lines for years.
