I'm pretty sure the Forbidden Eye poster was hand drawn. Though, yes, Struzan recently moved to experimenting with Photoshop.

That’s hand drawn? Looks computer generated to me. I get lost when it comes to tech vernacular but I’m hoping for something more like the posters from the 50s/ 60s

As I stated in my original post, I believe the shuttle is built over the cylinder itself, and we won’t have to slide into it as shown in Yensid’s video. This seemed further validated by the model of the shuttle that was shown and the odd shape that its left side has.

The rock arch they point out looks perfectly round and surrounded by charred earth. Perhaps its a crash landing into Batuu or the result of an attack on black spire outpost. This would be a really cool way to incorporate the landscape into the storytelling and plot, either by building in historicity, nods to past wars, or to create tension in thepresent tense, as the crash landing/attack site is right over black spir outpost on the side of the land that has been infiltrated by the first order and where we expect some of the stunt show action to take place.
and @10:20 I always envisioned that in a similar way, but without the complications of ride vehicles having to move on and off the track. I always imagined more of a carousel, where gusts are loading onto the center subdivided circle floor, and the entire floor carrying the rooms built on top of them adding up to be the multiples of the ship's enterior rotate together. Ride vehicle on the scale of the scene of a dark ride, not unlike the stretching room in the haunted mansion. A reverse carousel theater. the inside moves, (all guests on platforms that spin inside the show), the outside of the cylinder doesn't.

OPENING DAY HINT?!? - #SWGECA - According to the permit for the "Big Bird" (Falcon) attraction, the expiration date of the permit is June 18th, 2019. We had been informed of a possible media event the weekend of June 21-23rd.
Looks like it might be real! - THOUGHTS?!? #SWGalaxysEdge

Hopefully there will be plenty of CM, AP and media days to work out the kinks. End of June would be a nice way to kick off the summer.

Well, all this means is permits are valid for one year after the issue date. There were permits issued for other aspects of GE in in September of 2018, but that doesn't mean the land will open when those permits expire in September of 2019. While the opening date is probably around June 18, the permit expiring around that time is just coincidence.

You are very correct. Here is the proof.
Galaxy's Edge Model:
Image taken from Google Earth:
You can see the entrance to the ship and the part of the "circle" that is lower than the other. I believe the ship frame will be built over the lower section. Here is the image superimposed:

speaking of the arch with the exposed beams, this past weekend i just realized that those beams are really vsisible while walking thru the Splash mountain country bear walkway. still think that if they are not going to add theming behind the arch then maybe even some paint would help.

We've heard from another source about the press preview the weekend of Jun 21.
A big class of Passholder accounts' black-out dates begin the next weekend on the 28. I would think the in-between week would be for invited guests and the grand opening be the 28th.

Yeah, probably a retaining wall that will keep guests from being able to see the ship and that part of the queue from the southern side. Since Rogue Aviation was more interested in the Falcon, they never zoom in on the area in question. This is the best we got:

So I’m trying to find the “sweet spot” to visit SWL this summer, if there is one. Sweet spot is probably the wrong way to put it. When will be the least insane time to go? I was thinking early to mid August before the Deluxe and lower APs are unblocked but after the first month of craziness and high tourist season (July). Any thoughts?

I think you got to dedicate the day to SWL. You can't play WDW tourist commando and expect to see SWL and Disney/DCA all during the same trip. Just pretend SWL is a park all to itself and prepare to hang out.
Of course, you could always take the attitude that it's all about you and line jump like most AP holders do. Screw the other 50k of people in line a head of you. Your "you" and you want what you want and that is all that matters. That is the way they would do it at Shanghai Disneyland.

I just scheduled a trip the week after the 4th. Here’s how I’m going to beat the crowds:
-They’re all going to be tourists, I’m smarter then them, and know how to work MaxPass
-I bit the bullet and staying onsite, EMH should help me quite a bit, I plan on rope dropping one of the attractions, fast passing the other and then returning again after the second fantasmic. I’ll also spend the afternoon sleeping by the pool.
