Got a response from Disney, thought I would share. Please note I deleted contact information.
Dear ,
Thank you for contacting the Walt Disney World® Resort.
We understand that Guest have been in love with many of our attractions and special events over the years. Unfortunately, we do, from time to time, have to say good-bye to some of our beloved attractions to make way for new ideas and dreams. While Star Wars may have to step away for a little while. I can assure you that what is coming is something out of this world!
Walt Disney himself even said something to this matter: "Around here, we don't look backwards for very long... We keep moving forward, opening new doors and doing new things. Because we're curious... and curiosity keeps leading us down new paths."
I hope this has addressed your concern.
If you have questions or need further assistance, feel free to contact us.
