If you could redo Galaxy’s Edge from the ground up, what planet (or moon) would you use as a setting and which era would it take place in?

This weekend I watched “Just Imagine” (1930), a pre-code early talkie sci-fi musical comedy set mostly in the future of 1980. Fascinating from a production standpoint, with some cool models and sets, including a rocket that would later appear in Flash Gordon. 🚀

It’s funny because I was just telling someone that I don’t find the 32nd century to be that interesting a setting, but I’ve always wanted a show in-between Undiscovered Country and TNG, so what do I know?
