7	* FranchiseKiller:
8	** The poor reception of this attraction, the continued misplaced grudge that a number of American Disney Parks fans have against Stitch because of this ride replacing the Ride/ExtraTERRORestrialAlienEncounter and the character's overmarketing back then, and the franchise's loss of American popularity--which the ride actually marked the beginning of--killed off any prospects of another ''Franchise/LiloAndStitch'' attraction or show ever running in the United States,[[note]]besides the incredibly short-lived Stitch's Supersonic Celebration in 2009[[/note]] including any chances of an American port of the better-received Stitch Encounter.
9	** It also finally killed off any further usage of its theaters and pre-show rooms as actual theater spaces, as Disney has still yet to introduce a proper successor. That said, this is more to do with Disney not having ever properly made good use of rather small attraction spaces that, combined with the mandatory sci-fi theme of its area, restricted what Disney and its Imagineers could do with them.
10	* PopCultureUrbanLegends: Months before entering seasonal operation in 2016, it was reported that Disney was planning to replace the attraction with a ''WesternAnimation/WreckItRalph'' virtual reality attraction. However, while Stitch's Great Escape! did eventually close in 2018 and a ''Wreck-It Ralph'' VR attraction opened the same year, the VR attraction in question--Ralph Breaks VR, which was based on the then-recent sequel ''WesternAnimation/RalphBreaksTheInternet''--did ''not'' replace SGE!. Ralph Breaks VR was actually made for the now-defunct VR attraction franchise [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Void_(virtual_reality) The Void]] over at Disney Springs instead, while the theaters that were used for SGE! were quickly established as break room/meeting room spaces for Magic Kingdom cast members (employees) according to a leaked video, and the first pre-show room was turned into a Stitch meet-and-greet.
11	* ProductionPosse: Many animators who worked on ''WesternAnimation/LiloAndStitch'' assisted Walt Disney Imagineering for this attraction.
12	* PropRecycling: This attraction reused a lot of components from its predecessor, the [=ExtraTERRORestrial=] Alien Encounter, from Skippy to the show theaters to many of the X-S Tech logos. Speaking of Skippy, it should be noted that the "doughnut guy" was actually the previous deformed Skippy (rattled by the first teleportation in Alien Encounter's pre-show) [[DecompositeCharacter repurposed as a new character]], while pre-teleportation Skippy was the hoodlum in for "jaywalking between the moons of Jupiter".
13	* RoleReprise: Some of the original voice cast reprised their roles for the attraction, including Creator/KevinMcDonald as Agent Pleakley, Zoe Caldwell as the Grand Councilwoman, Creator/KevinMichaelRichardson as Captain Gantu, and of course, original film writer-director Creator/ChrisSanders as none other than Experiment 626/Stitch himself.
