Has the realization set in with everyone yet, that we are a little over 10 months away from SW:GE opening?
I know it still seem like a long way away, given that we are still in summer 2018. But that 10 months is going to fly by fast and next summer will be here before we know it.
For a project that was rumored for years before it was announced to where we are now, its been an interesting journey for the fandom to get here. I for one can't wait for it to open and experience it all for myself.
A vibraphone like this always puts me in the mood for a cocktail...
That vista is gorgeous! I remember how crazy it looked from big thunder when it was all cleared out, I thought “that’s it, the depth is gone” but that shot really shows me that it retains the depth and breadth it had before from the wall of trees.
Here’s a really cool view of SWL you usually don’t see. For you non redditors...

I'm a little confused as to how Orlando has that finished ship on top of their building when they're months behind on construction compared to Anaheim... Has Disneyland had the same themed installments? Am I the only one who maybe hasn't seen them?
They're not exactly following the same build order.
Yup. Different weather, different ground features, different orientation of GE as it relates the adjoining land, different construction specialties available at different times. The same project can't be built in the exact same way in two places.They're not exactly following the same build order.

While I believe the drone footage to be perhaps shot about 4 weeks ago in Disneyland, there are multiple legitimate village elements at DHS that are now ahead of DL in the construction cycle.
Ride and facade elements are behind on the typical 3 odd month timeframe still (probably the things that will actually be last to wrap up). Still, very interesting!
The building the ship rests on in question has always been surprisingly ahead of Anaheim's pace. Likely that won't actually factor in opening timeframes as the village elements are generally speaking the least labour and time intensive compared to the ride and rock work facades.
But this pace discrepancy has been evident for quite some time, I mentioned it back in March in the DHS thread...
...I wondered what the "63" was for, then I found this -> “Director George Lucas was an admirer of the work of NFB experimental filmmaker Arthur Lipsett and has credited a conversation between Roman Kroitor and artificial intelligence pioneer Warren S. McCulloch, excerpted in Lipsett’s 1963 collage film ’21-87,’ as part of his inspiration.”
Saw this on a r/starwarsleaks and thought it was bringing up here as well.
The 77 is definitely a direct reference to 1977, the year Star Wars came out, but the 63 is a bit more ambiguous. This person who posted it had this to say
