I'm not 100%, because I only went up to the 2nd floor a few times, but I'm fairly certain there were also small bathrooms located on the other side of the wall, inside Pizza Rizzo on the 2nd floor.
Yep, smaller bathroom upstairs at Rizzo's.

Curious if this will finally be the impetus to fix some of the rocks-on-sticks as they did in DL or if they're largely invisible from the planned courtyard.
Looks like there might be more rebar in them.

Wasn’t that the intended charm of the park…facades and such. Star Tours upon entry is just a set. Back of the At At is just hollow.

It was. In 1989. That’s largely been abandoned with recent updates although some relics of the era remain, sometimes inexplicably. The Star Tours outdoor queue is particularly confusing. SWGE and TSL are meant to be real places, not movie sets. Monstropolis is similarly meant to be the real city.
It seems it was confusing from day one. Star Tours isn't a "making of movies" ride, so, I don't know what they were thinking by making the outdoor queue a film set.

At the time the entire park was supposed to be based on a Studio Tour... so the "Hot Set" signs etc were just the only excuse for it being there.... The bigger issue is it's proximity to the rest of the Star Wars themed area...and I personally like Star Tours, but there should have been plans to relocate it when they decided to move the Galaxy's Edge area to the back of the park... it should have been your journey to Galaxy's Edge.... Now it is a completely detached footnote making no sense at all... Perhaps it is time to re-theme it to something appropriate to that area of the park?

Only know the front half (Welcome to Monstropolis show, Harry Hausen's, Archie’s Scare Pig Pizza & Scareporium) is opening next year in 2027, only opening year so far, and the Door Coaster is sometime after that, speculating 2028
