Don’t get me wrong I love the OG trilogy and prequel timeline. I guess it just me but I am getting a little fatigued with a majority of the Star Wars movies, books, comic books, video games, shows etc around the OG trilogy where we already know how it ends. I mean it would be cool to feel like your in that time period in Star Wars, but in terms of attractions, it wouldn’t be much different from what we have currently. A falcon ride and a ride of resistance type ride that just flips Rey and Kylo and others with Luke and Vader. It’s hard to explain.
But ideally I would like something like Galaxy Edge that is canon to the universe and the events of all the films and shows have taken place, but guests have their own experiences in the universe.
I love the fact that Batuu is a "new" planet, allowing for exploration and discovery and not just a recreation of something familiar.
And part of me does like that the majority of SW content is in the "history" of Black Spire, including the OT and the ST.
But, truly, the world-building of the ST is just confusing and often nonsensical and it just tried to ape the OT almost completely, anyway.
I still think you could set it during the Imperial Era and make it feel exciting and relevant.
I'd propose setting it between ESB and ROTJ. han is in carbonite at Jabba's, hence why Chewie is loaning the Falcon to Hondo to raise money for the rebellion. Modifying Rise of the Resistance would be the biggest hurdle.
But you could have all kinds of fan favorite charaters in the park, like Boba Fett, Vader, Imperial troops, Jabba's goons, Luke/Leia, even The Mandalorian if you want, plus original characters like a Vi Moradi-esque character.
I personally don't hate the ST like many, but it's not very exciting and is going to feel more and more irrelevant as time passes.
