in one of the articles from one of the news sites the writer mentions that the WDI was questions if any previes would happen. The WDI said that at that point he had not heard of that possibility. I'm sure though that it depends on TDA and timing. supposedly there is still lots of work to be done to the stores and eateries.

I would think it’s a must so long as their is a height restriction.

They have one in Downtown Disney in Anaheim as well. I really want to do it, but my last two trips down there were short ones. I live in NorCal.

Its augmented VR. We did it and it was one of the most awesome experiences. At times I even had to remind myself I'm not really that high up....
I'm finally caught up. I'm glad some of the stuff we expected to be cut isn't necessarily so and there sounds like a good number of more impressive animatronics.
One thing that strikes me is the timing of this. The big media info dump for Pandora was the end of April. SW:GE being end of February is just more data supporting a generous preview period.

My thoughts exactly. It's extremely early for press like this, especially with no officially announced opening. I'm starting to see how this might work now. I've even thought since the land was first announced that they may actually take a page from the Universal book and do unannounced previews for a while to make sure CMs know their roles and everything is looking right with people there. I know it's a long shot because it isn't how Disney does things, but think of how it would potentially work to soft open to a select few per day and really get the kinks out before the official open date.
Ok... I'm not sure where we're off with each other. I may be. So, let's see if we can get some clarity. The first is identifying which building is Oga's.
From @bioreconstruct, it is my understanding that the building with the red X is Oga's. No?
From another angle...

Agreed.
There are some things that I wasn't thinking about that Disney is doing.
I thought of the ships we'll see as merely props, but apparently they may be treated as working ships by cast members.
I didn't really believe that the shops wouldn't be selling obviously branded merchandise, but it appears that they aren't.

Correct. X marks the spot of Olga's.
Actually it seems more the other way around. A multi-day press junket is not getting organized in a matter of days. This has to have been in the works for some time. The timing is early but now lots of people can start organizing vacations for the Summer and Fall. My guess is that Universal did their announcement to make sure it wasn't lost in the Star Wars news and leverage off of it for travel plans a well. Lots of people will go, wow new awesome stuff at both Universal and Disney. Let's go.
Good.
Now, if the rotunda that the MF is pointing at is Oga's (red), then in the construction, there is a boxy attachment (in blue), and nearby another building (in yellow). Right?

Looks about right. I'm not sure what's in the blue building....if it's an extension of Olga's or other retail space. The yellow building is the one from that model that was colored black. The other thing I was trying to point out in my post was that the empty space just north of the yellow building was also empty space on the model. It was in response to the notion that Disney nixed a building that was there, but it never was on the model.
