   “Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge” is kinda generic, I get what they’re going for and it’s not awful, but it doesn’t fit Disneyland’s layout at all. The closest that park has is “Mickey’s Toon Town”, then “Critter Country” and “New Orleans Square”, with the only other non “-land” name being Main Street, U.S.A., and “Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge” is a very different feel from all those.

   Yeah… I wasn't thrilled with the name either. It just doesn't have much of an impact like you said.

   I think it works. SW is a different concept, even how Disney is warping it, and works this way. This way, they can fit in any SW character, locale, ship, event as "just stopping by."

   And they could have called it "Star Wars Land" and one or two or 20 million visitors would still shell out credits to get stuck in its crowded lines, of course.

   Sounds like a Star Wars branded smart phone… or ladies' razor.

   Saw this last night and after going to the Disneyland this past weekend with JT and seeing the construction in person, I’m excited about what may be coming.

   We went on Friday and, even in the dark, it now looks significant. It looks large, tall, impressive. It’s been a blast to watch it come up. And then we went on Star Tours and got to see how it’ll look, since the ride ends there right now.

   Looking forward to visiting more than I ever have in this year prior to the opening.

   A few of us journeyed to the park during daylight hours last weekend and checked it out from every angle the park offered – Big Thunder, the Mark Twain, and the train. In daylight, the amount they’ve achieved is staggering. There are MOUNTAINS up there, and large structures, and a sense of the grandiose is really coming together. It’s also impressive how much larger than Toontown it is – the original knockdown looked roughly the same size, which made sense, but they kept going, it now stretches from behind Critter Country all the way to Toontown! Taking Disneyland from 85 to 100 acres is apparently going to be a very large expansion.

   Also, WDW had a small event where they gave out trading cards that had promo info on the land: http://www.slashfilm.com/star-wars-galaxys-edge-images/
