OK but I hate to break it to you but it’s just an elevator you use to get in and out the main door. If you want to step outside you say “I need to get out to my car / some fresh air” and a crew member will take you down in the elevator.
I'm not even sure it's an elevator. More than likely it's a room simulating ship to planet transport.

Seeing the scale of the rooms with an actual humans inside them firmly confirms my self-diagnosed claustrophobia. That, and it looks to have all of the charm of a flight on Spirit airlines. I’m sure somebody will love it and be willing to pay for it.

I understand that.
What I'm saying is there will be no obvious way for guests to break the wall of immersion in front of other guests.

I don’t think we’re on the same page here. Why does it matter how you get out of the hotel? Someone asked if they could leave and you said “there’s no way out save emergency exits”. I’m clearly missing something. I could break the “immersion” by wearing Minnie Ears and a WDW tee shirt.

Wearing a shirt or ears is a different form of breaking the illusion than opening a door that leads out to a parking and sunshine in plain view of other guests.
 
I really don't get this concept at all...sure I like Star Wars, do I want to live in Star Wars?? ummmm no. This is such a silly, novelty concept that'll be as popular as NBA Experience. A better concept is to a develop Galactic Starcruisers that can pick me up at the airport and take me to my $500/night hotel room so I don't have to pay for a Uber or Lyft .

It isn't a massive resort. It is very small by Disney standards. It is meant to fill a niche, not cater to every guest on property. If it does really well they will undoubtedly make similar experiences with a larger capacity.

Cruise ships also have pools, water slides, zip lines, golf, casinos and all you care to eat buffets and PLENTY OF DRINKING!
Star Wars hotel is just two days and will have several large 'gaming rooms' for what people are supposed to be showing up for (and not pools or golf), not to mention at least one excursion to Batuu.

There will be a simulated casino, plenty of food, and DRINKING.

I doesn't need to appeal to that many people relatively speaking. Based on what we know about the hotel so far, if it was running at capacity that would be around 73,000 guests per year. Compare that to Magic Kingdom which got around 21 million visitors in 2019.
