I suppose they could have a screen at the front of the passenger compartment that acts as a 'window' into the front of the craft, showing the driver and his view out the front window.

And it’s been confirmed hasn’t it? A female RX droid.
J6-F8
J6-F8 was an RX-Series pilot droid that piloted a transport shuttle operating out of Batuu's Black Spire Outpost. She ferried passengers from the MPO-1400 Purgill-class star cruiser Halcyon down to the outpost and back up to the cruiser, but worked for an entity local to the outpost. This droid...

Yeah, I guess. I would have liked to to walk, though, instead of waiting for buses for such a short distance.

Except that the transportation to the park is part of the experience - from space port to space port the riders will never see WDW in between.

Finally! GS reopening on March 1 and booking on Oct 28!
2 possibilities:
A. GS will be fully booked on Oct 28 or soon after, at least for the first few months, if not for the entire year.
B. Not A.
My money is on B because, to summarize what I've said in the past:
1. There are not that many people who can afford 3K per night;
1.5 There are not that many people who can afford 3K per night but is willing to give up the 3 bedroom grand villa at a Disney deluxe in exchange for a standard sized room with no pool for the same money;
2. There are not that many people who like sequel SW role playing so much that they want to do it for 2 days straight;
2.5 There are not that many people who want the prison-like covid lockdown experience to be stuck inside with no window anywhere for 2 full days and not be allowed to go outside except for the regimented 4 hour Batuu visit.
3. There are not that many sequel SW fans whose family members are also all sequel SW fans as well and want to be in this thing and skip Magic Kingdom;
4. There are not that many Disney fans who has the time and energy to spend 2 nights and exactly 2 nights at one hotel and then move somewhere else -- that is, bother with the split stay;
5. No jogging outside or exercising equipment inside or landscaping or pool.
I will be very impressed to find A to be true, and especially if it persists. Because when I first tried to book a trip for October, a few months back, there was not a room left. But now, there is all kinds of availability. So, I'm imagining this guy who takes the money out of his kids' college fund to book GS, only to feel buyers remorse later and put the money back.
I don't want to stay there, but I'm interested in visiting and eating an expensive meal there, like with Space 220. Hopefully, Disney will open that Crown of Something dining room for a fixed course breakfast to outside guests during the Batuu visit of hotel guests. (Fixed course so that they can get people out of there in time).

... but it only takes about 1/10 of 1 percent of the total WDW attendance in an average year to fill the hotel, so even with all those "not that many's" there may still be enough to fill the hotel.

From an AP email I just received for an early booking window -
"Active Annual Passholders can be among the first to book and experience Star Wars: Galactic Starcruiser. Take advantage of this opportunity to book during a special pre-sale window 10/7–10/9 for voyages 3/1–5/4. Limited availability."

I got a similar DVC email though I didn't get the AP one. They are giving us the right to be the crash test dummies. Unless, of course, the price is somehow less early on. I suspect it won't be

Somehow that slipped my mind. I couldn't figure out why they would stop that early if trying to convince people they had an exclusive window to book.How fast is the May the 4th voyage gonna sell out?

I didn’t get an email despite being AP and DVC (which is typical). Did it say if you book online or call?

Darn. I just want to book it for early June for my dad, husband, and brother.
It did not.

Well, in that shot (which maybe is old unless they are still doing it) you can see that backstage is used for SR overflow (at least in covid times) - it's that large group of people backstage right above the bottom yellow arrow.
When I was in it it was ringed by merch container trailers and greenery a little.

I wonder if the local YouTube influencers will get a preview event to have a look around and sample the food offerings like is done for any new hotel opening?
