It's hard to guess exact figures since we don't have opening dates, but I'd expect more than a Pandora sized boost to Disneyland. And I can't imagine Magic Kingdom doesn't also increase with Star Wars opening. I see a lot of people going for Star Wars, but doing everything while they are there. Galaxy's Edge only has 2 rides so it's not exactly the only thing you'd want out of a trip. Granted that boost might only be for December so possibly minimal with Disneyland still coming out on top. These are probably pretty good ballpark estimates though.
it's definitely hard to estimate the impact to other parks - plus just going out a few years, what will the economy be like, etc. ... and there does just seem to be more people going to Orlando in general so does everything get a small pump from that, etc.
I do see a lot of people that want to go for Galaxy's Edge but really have no interest in the rest of WDW - but, like you said, I am sure there are others that at least will say "well, we are here, might as well check out these other parks" ... wounder if Universal also gets a bump from that group as well - I am sure there is at least some crossover that would want to see the Harry Potter stuff while they are in town
