Meanwhile, in Florida...

Here's what the project currently looks like from the air over Disney's Hollywood Studios. Compliments of biorecontruct on the Twitter.

Wow, is it just me or does this seem smaller than DL's version? I mean look how it butts right up next to The Muppets ride!






I'm kidding. I don't even know where the Muppets ride is. LOL

It’s the pinkish building at the top of the pic. Also it’s a show not a ride. Keep this up and your Disney Park fan card will be confiscated.

The land isn’t smaller. It just has more surrounding it whereas in Disneyland you have longer walkways going to it. Standing in the middle you likely won’t be able to tell much of a difference at all.

Read the fine print. She was joking.

So what you're saying is it won't be smaller, it'll just feel smaller?

Oh wow, that's a big Toy Story Land they got going on over there.. There's going to be mountains!!?? Jeez!

I find the WDW version to be egregiously vast and inexcusably small. I can’t believe Disney would just try to cram Star Wars Land into a space 0.00001x the size it was designed for, while at the same time I am immovably convinced of how inarguably larger it is, and that earthen berm obviously has expansion space for three more E-tickets, five hotels, two parking lots, a lake, and an airfield. Oh, and due to crushing space limitations they built the entire Alcatraz ride inside Muppet Vision 3D.

Schrödinger's Star Wars Land is both smaller and larger until you open it!

No, I’m saying the picture makes it look that way when in reality it’s not.

See what you did!

Was she? Was she really?

I thought the kidding was only referring to Muppets.

Leave the comedy to the Bear.

This dude talking makes Sheldon Cooper's "Fun with Flags" sound like a WWE Cage Match in comparison. Wow. I think I fell asleep in the first 14 seconds.

"And here we see a worker flexing a pole. Over here.... we see a beam being escorted by two workers...."

I eagerly look forward to each installment, especially the inside construction commentary and model-to-construction comparisons. Shoot, when all is said and done, I'd buy a video of the whole series.

Interesting how the SW:GE projects basically look the same on both coasts when Florida's construction stalled for a considerable amount of time after DL's began.

I disagree. I think it's clear how much more of the market place section Disneyland's construction has complete when compared to what DHS has done. Disneyland also has more rock spires, some of which are even covered in cement for the sculpting process.

Yeah, you're right. I just looked at the recent WDW photos and I see what you're talking about.

California is definitely ahead, though the difference seems to be only around three months. An interesting thing has been how they have not been built in the same order, and so some elements are actually further ahead in Florida. There, the eastern side of the market place has gone up first. There are structures for more distant rockwork already up at the back of the Falcon building. Rockwork has already gone up opposite the Battle Escape building, down to the tunnel entrance.

It's been fun following both, and somewhat worthwhile as the different parks offer different vantage points to watch the construction.

Also, if you haven't checked out the Galaxy's Edge thread, you will see examples of everything I've stated above, along with what seems a verified explanation of how the mysterious round structure at the front of Battle Escape will be utilized.

Just a little diversion. The Last Jedi just passed Frozen in all time world wide box office. I know Frozen was just a dud anyway.

9. Last Jedi 1296.5 to 10. Frozen 1276.5.
Next to pass is Harry Potter and Deathly Hallows part 2 at 1341.5
