I found my way to Batuu this past weekend, and as a long-time magic key holder, it has always been such a peaceful place to hang out with family and friends. I found Galaxy's Edge to be the most captivating area of any Disney park I've ever been to.
After hearing the announcement, I was a bit hesitant to support the new music and change of time period prior to visiting. Due to the tranquility that I feared was going to disappear, I was worried the entire premise of the area was going to change. This was only confirmed once I visited.
I absolutely adore John William's score in the films, however, Galaxy's Edge used to be focused on immersion, instead of feeling like a Star Wars franchise museum. The new music really takes me out of the fantasy of traveling to the planet of Batuu.
Also, I really wonder if they have any plans for fixing Darth Vader's entrance out of Kylo Ren's ship? Quite frankly, this just looks wrong to me.
I realize there's a major nostalgia factor to being able to meet the original trilogy characters in the parks, but I still find it to be a bit off. Anyone have any thoughts?
