- Franchise Killer:
- 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 ExtraTERRORestrial Alien Encounter 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 Lilo & Stitch attraction or show ever running in the United States,note including any chances of an American port of the better-received Stitch Encounter.
- 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.
- Pop-Culture Urban Legends: Months before entering seasonal operation in 2016, it was reported that Disney was planning to replace the attraction with a Wreck-It Ralph 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 Ralph Breaks the Internet—did not replace SGE!. Ralph Breaks VR was actually made for the now-defunct VR attraction franchise 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. - Production Posse: Many animators who worked on Lilo & Stitch assisted Walt Disney Imagineering for this attraction.
- Prop Recycling: 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) repurposed as a new character, while pre-teleportation Skippy was the hoodlum in for "jaywalking between the moons of Jupiter".
- Role Reprise: Some of the original voice cast reprised their roles for the attraction, including Kevin McDonald as Agent Pleakley, Zoe Caldwell as the Grand Councilwoman, Kevin Michael Richardson as Captain Gantu, and of course, original film writer-director Chris Sanders as none other than Experiment 626/Stitch himself.
