Star Wars: Galaxy's Edge (Disney's Hollywood Studios)

[HereWeGo]

Well I guess that answers the question of "Will WDW catch up to DL". I can't imagine that the first one to open would be WDW since it is a significant amount of work behind DL plus it makes sense that they would want DL to already be open during the next D23 Expo.

It's certainly better than "The Star Wars Experience."

I can dig it. I feel like they may also add the name of the planet in there like Galaxy's Edge: Tatooine (except not Tatooine).

Also, a user on Reddit came up with that idea, I'm just piggybacking off of it.

My favorite comment so far.

"Star Wars: Samsung Galaxy 7S Edge"

Pretty much the same gif I used

I'm not sure I like it. It sounds too much like a spinoff, or video game, rather than a theme park land.

Yeah, it's a pretty meh name, don't really have much of an opinion either way.

I'm happy with it because it could've been a lot worse if they tried any harder, to be honest. At least the name starts with the title of the franchise instead of ends with it like Pandora: The World of Avatar.

Uhmmm...

The Wizarding World of Harry Potter :look:

To me, I would've thought that Disney would've just called it by the planet it would be located from (which I do think we'll get confirmation for that), and that Galaxy's Edge seems..a bit off.

That's just my side of the coin, but I don't hate the name, and that at the end of the day, the GP will call the land "Star Wars Land" and not use the actual name.

Lol I'm an idiot. Not even going to try to defend myself here. I apologize. :doh:

So true. Same goes for Wizarding World of Harry Potter. Most people I know just call it "Harry Potter World/Land".

I don't know how you can call it "generic' at all. It looks just like something out of Star Wars. If anything it's like a Star Wars "greatest hits".

That is the biggest problem I have with this.
I was (and am) hoping the Disney Company would go for multiple themed Star Wars Lands at WDW. To put a best off in there it would be harder to pull that off again. Above that I miss the movie locations I want to visit and stay in. I want the real cantina (make 4 of them with a hub to handle the crowds but when I'm in there I want to feel like Han sitting in that booth listening to the band.
But it is what it is and I'm sure it 'll push the theme park business as Uni did with Potter and that is a huge positive.

Galaxy's Edge? Ok...

So basically "you're story" will be bad fan fiction.

Regafding the early 2019 opening, is be willing to bet that's an opening for just the land, and that not all the rides or experiences will be ready Day 1.

Worked for Diagon Alley. Soft open Hogwarts Express, then the land, then Gringotts was ready 18 months later. :bolt:

Good one.

I like Galaxy's Edge, still opens up the option for more lands.
