Exactly. Correct.

You said it yourself, its representative of the microcosm of mk and wdw. Who else, besides us disney fans, notice that? I think that, based on random reviews and demand, that wishes has done well

Originally Posted By EPCOT Explorer >>> Could be crazy, but isn't that what hollywood is about?<<<< Exactly. The illusion they could create could be unreal. You say it fits perfectly in AdvL...I say it could fit just as well in a Studios setting. Like TOT...they matched a 30's story perfectly to the park. Why not do that again with Indy?

Look at the exterior settings for SW. a couple of vehicles, a giant robot shooting water at you....sure HWS isn't a space theme, but this is able to be pulled off because it all ties together with the allusion that hollywood creates

You're on a Hollywood backlot shooting the the Star Wars movie. And it's one of my biggest complaints about Star Tours/putting IJA in DHS. It ruins the ambiance and cheapens the experience.

IoA is very MK-esque, where you're magically transported to other "Islands" when you cross the threshhold frm the one before. But DHS is Hollywood. You're in the city. You're no where else the entire time.

Same with Pixar Place. Same with TOT.

Originally Posted By WDW Imagineer <<You're on the set of a Star Wars film>> Wrong. You are on a shuttle en route to endor. If you notice when you are about to board, you can see a video on the monitor of shuttles departing and arriving. That's the real deal
