But what if it ISN'T a Star Wars pack? What if it turns out to be something totally unrelated to SW? If it does turn out to be something unrelated to SW,then how will the people expecting a SW pack react?

Don't set your expectations too high-you might end up really disappointed if the GP is not a SW pack.

If it's not a Star Wars pack, then it's not a Star Wars pack. Even if it is indeed a Winter Holiday/Romance pack, I can deal with that. I'm certainly not going to turn around and hate on the pack in frustration like so many did for Eco Lifestyle after the Farming Hoax. For one, this isn't a hoax, just a (potential) misinterpretation of a leak. For another, I don't actually care what packs we get. If I like them, I buy them. If I don't, I buy them later when I've run into four or five gallery builds that use items from them, or they're the base item/programing for some CC I really like, or I otherwise discover that they have elements I can use after all. I've found something useful to me in every pack. And yes, that includes both My First Pet Stuff and Luxury Party Stuff.

Yup.

I see that sort of thing all the time with movies, including Star Wars movies. A friend of mine calls it "the magic movie in my head," and I call it "this invalidates all my fanfic," but what we both mean is that people get so attached to what they imagine a thing is going to be based on speculation that if the actual thing varies from that, it's seen as a betrayal and the actual thing is seen as wrong because it's not what they thought it would be.

I've been pretty clear that I think this is not just a Star Wars pack but one where Batuu is a vacation destination, not an actual introduction of Star Wars as a real thing into the Sims world. But if I'm wrong about any of that. If it turns out the icon leak was actually EA aiming at a ski chalet, mountain, and snowflakes and accidentally coming up with a dead ringer for Batuu, well, okay. If it's a farming pack, or an underwater pack, or somehow if that represents Norse mythology or the afterlife or whatever else I've seen theorized, fine. I might be more or less interested in any of those, but whatever.
