    It wasn’t tied to the sequels it was tied to the high republic, the main star wars park is set during the sequels.

      The article mentions First Order and Resistance which are the two factions in the sequels.

      I think if it were set in the high republic, that would be my preference as well. Although, the pool of potential customers would likely be different if they didn’t tie it to the sequels. I get their advertising from a current brand recognition and hyping up their new content point of view, but for my money, I’d be way more interested in a trip set during the prequels or sorta like early empire as well.

      High republic would be my favorite, if done well, and likely the safest for Disney as they could advertise their new high republic content, but that’s still in its infancy, so I see why they decided to tie it to the sequels.

      Edit: Left out a few words because I’m on mobile lol

        Yeah just looked it up, it was definitely set during the sequels. I’m sure during it’s initial announcement it was meant to be high republic. The ship is even a famous one that features in a few high republic content.

          Honestly, I have a vague memory of that being the initial plan too lol not sure if it’s the Mandela effect though.
