Hopefully at a minimum the pool stays open past midnight.

It'd be great to have some pizza delivered, too, for a late night snack.

My read on this, and I might be wrong, is that this is less of a ‘director’ and more of a ‘show caller / stage manager’ sort of position. It’s running crew, not creative direction.

Yeah, it really sounds like this is the person who will be managing the experience as they are occurring, stage manger is a good analogy. The description uses the plural "Directors" in some places which would make sense since you would need multiple people to fill those roll. It also mentions having to work with an "overall experience Creative Director".
And yet, here we are discussing an offering unlike anything they’ve ever done before.
Agree to disagree, no need to be rude about it. I couldn’t care less what you want to tell me. That doesn’t factor into my curiosity about the experience at all. Have a nice day.
I hear Pizza Planet is open late.

Something tells me that the whole complex is going to be glaringly visible from the road as you take the main exit. The screening really seems incomplete except once past the gate. The whole approach is pretty damn foul on the backside of Galaxy's edge, etc. I hope they do valet drop off somewhere else where guests don't drive themselves to the property.

I don't think that would be themeing, since there is no way guests should be able to see that area, because you would also be able to see the shuttle. Am I thinking that area is going to do double duty as both the guest entrance from the shuttle and as service access to the land.

We have talked about whether people would be able to go back to their cars if they wanted, but it looks like there is no pedestrian access for guests, only a path for CMs.

The backside of the building is getting themed. Look at the shape and height, it mirrors the front. All I can think of is we pull into a false front that lines up with the shuttle so when we step off we see a spaceship in much the same way the illusion is handled on Rise of the Resistance. We step into a tiny courtyard with a spire above on our right. Ahead is the building I’d assumed for years would act as a garage, but now wonder if it may be a sort of Batuu customs office.

Refreshing dip after your excursion to gritty Battu?

Wild speculation time:
This is all based on the observation that the area in yellow is receiving theming which would then mean that this is observable to guests. The shuttle (Bus) would pull up to a false facade so that when we disembark we see the spaceship behind us. We would be in a small courtyard like area with the new wall to our left with trees visible above, the entrance building to Batuu before us and a spire to the left. There are utilities that could easily be hidden by another false shell of a ship. We enter the building and are processed for our excursion on Batuu.
The new corridor like structure seems more purposefully shaped than a simple cast tunnel. What if we don't leave under the same circumstances we arrive? Maybe we are chased by the First Order, take an alternate route (while being shot at- pew! pew!), and only barely make it onto the waiting shuttle (green passage). Again, all wild speculation based on a single observation. Then again, I was able to correctly identify (seemingly) this area as the drop-off point by noticing the irregularity from it's Disneyland counterpart.
Thoughts?

The in-character theme is going to be broken as soon as you're in Galaxy's Edge anyways, though, with all the regular Disney visitors milling about. Or it will eventually, at least -- I think the sample itinerary had people arriving and riding Rise of the Resistance before it was open to regular guests, but they would still be there during regular operating hours.

Absolutely, yes. Which is why is see the additional work on the back of the building so baffling. It is a curved wall structure the same size and shape as seen on the front. This to me can only mean that guests will see it. That's what has me confused and also wildly speculating.

Could it be that the building could be seen from somewhere else, so they’ve added this to make it look like a spaceship? Maybe from somewhere inside Batuu?
