Note: This post is not me trashing SWGE, but thinking about how it could have been better.
Disney is going to backdoor the popularity of Galaxy Edge. It was obviously a bad choice of a location. No one cares about Black Spire Outpost and no one identifies with it. So the immersion factor is probably lower than what it could have been with some other choices. I've written this before and if the 60 people that listen to my podcast are here, they've heard this before too!
Disney may think it needs to rescue Star Wars or at least steer it back to where it could have been, i.e. MCU territory.
You're going to see a flurry of Star Wars content on
Disney+ with live action and animated shows. It's going to build up the back story of a new storyline. It's going to lead up to creating a new series of movies and off it goes. Obviously this is speculation, but with all of this activity you're going to see Black Spire Outpost be a thing on shows and cartoons. They are going to try to make it a popular and re-occuring place so that people will want to GO to the land.
If they're successful, you'll probably see a lot of the sequel stuff rethemed.
Anyway, in 3-6 years you'll probably see DHS upticks higher, naturally I think in any case, but then you may see expansion rumors to the land around 2026-2028 if they can make Star Wars super popular again.
