Disneyland has been replacing the missing or highly damaged medallions. There was no official announcement from Disney on this, but Disneyland News Today discovered the newly replaced feature recently. - https://dlnewstoday.com/2023/05/disneyland-resort-replacing-stolen-medallions-on-commemorative-bricks-in-esplanade/ Star Wars fans who would like to purchase some of the Galaxy's Edge exclusive items without going to the parks now have that option!
