This could just be the method for escaping batuu. No? escape batuu? or is that vehicle being referred to some other way.

Probably right away. Just based on how well planned this all is, I doubt they'd dump you in another 30 minute queue. think about how they'll have to block the groups just to board that transport vehicle off of batuu; your group of 50 or so people won't be allowed to see anybody get on that vehicle before you. You can't watch the door close, the vehicle doesn't move, and then you get on the vehicle and its empty. Youll probably be in some sort of waiting room/bullpen in a cave, and then guided to board the vehicle almost as soon as you see it. Quickly! we have to get off this planet! Then once you get in the star destroyer, your trackless vehicles are ready to go. The pacing of the loading can be controlled by the transport vehicle scene, the waiting and the waiting/staging room for that. Nobody gets into the vehicle or off of the vehicle until the star destroyer loading platform is empty.

That would be awesome. In this scenario most of the actual Q would be before you step onto the turntable. I was under the impression for some reason that the turntable would be pretty soon after entering the show building. I think I assumed that we were walking into the transport on Batuu as we entered the show building.

Most of the queue will be in caves south of the show building, in the area with one floor of rockwork, atop which they planted a sea of trees. You'll actually go back outside to get into the escape vehicle.

OK, this is a new permit, but it doesn't say much:
BLD2018-03845 Disneyland - SW - DL Frontierland Expansion - BLDG 10070 - Tenant Improvement
I looked back through the posts to see if BLDG 10070 was listed. It was:
BLD2018-02794 Disneyland - SW - DL Frontierland Expansion - Area Site Development Adjacent to Bldg 1007 - New Steel Sculpture Ship Anchored to Existing Pad. Foundation under permit BLD2017-02850
Going to that permit number, it's been revised:
Disneyland - SW - DL Frontierland Expansion - Bldg 10070 - New per-fabricated ship has one stunt performer only. Anchored to existing pad. Foundation under permit BLD2017-02850
So, a ship with a performer on it.
btw, the BLD2017-02850 permit comes back to: Disneyland - SW - DL Frontierland Expansion - Site Development includes items that encompass the area outside of the facility buildings. This includes 3,748 ln.ft x 6' high and 2,130 ln.ft x 10' high retaining walls and decorative walls, light poles, fan poles, covered queue of 1,571 s.ft. faux evaporators, 83 s,ft canopy for cardboard bailer, (2) free standing rockwork structures, (3) decorative faux tanks with 160 s.ft catwalks, (6) foundation only for show sets, (1) foundation only marque show set and landscape.

Maybe THIS is the new ship that we saw at dhs.
I called this stuff months ago. Maybe i took it a step further and insinuated that guests would be able to access these balcony areas and the lookout tower on battle escape, as bounty hunters and the like, but this is proof I was half right. Many of those buildings are built to scale. We can see the door on that lookout tower on battle escape and its quite clear there will be cast members up there keeping watch over batuu.

Is that part of the Fox deal?

Well that part of Frontierland is now called SW:GE so it works thematically.
No, that movie was Universal.

Hearing about the plan for the queue and actual main ride, I am more excited for Battle Escape than I was earlier. These little details make it all the more interesting.

This post may provide some insight
*I'm just joking, but would be interesting if it turns out to be true*

The ride exits in the large crashed cylinder shaped wreck. In the main building adjacent to that sits the pits we saw before the building went up. Over those pits are two spaces that go all the way up to the ceiling. My guess was that we enter some sort of drop system to represent either a crash landing, escape pod or the like. Martin, a trusted insider called it a "controlled descent."
And FYI most of what is being discussed here was all pretty well hammered out eight months ago on the Florida thread- you know, the one for the "smaller" land that's "way" behind

Controlled? Shoot! A nice thrilling drop would be a great finale for the ride.
Attach a bungee to the riders and throw them off the roof!

Actually, we had mostly worked through that 13 months ago. But Florida's is 3-5 months behind schedule, so it's understandable.
It's possible that the left side of the turret under the tarp is the standby (therefore using that extended, extended, extended queue section) OR based on where it sits it could actually be used to corral guests into a backstage area to enter the land in the initial days/weeks when it runs capacity.
I'll draw partially out where I can see some ride entrances and exits in a moment...
Here we go....
I used a bunch of different colours if only to highlight how totally unsure I am which ones fit together. If the later two entrances to the right of the turret marquee represents single rider and FP... then the blue line could actually be a bit more of a straight shot around into the down engine tube. If you instead go to the left you might get the pink standby line taking the long way to many hours of hidden switchbacks.
There are a ton of different semi-obvious queue structures before you really even get indoors. The yellow squiggles are just a few major areas that I foresee switchbacks. We have a nice initial section that seems to wrap by those waterfalls (albeit the blue may not do that close of a drive by), a huge open-cave section with Rebel ships and the large downed engine. The only reason those need to be in that sequence is for logistics of not having the standby and FP/single rider paths criss-cross one another.
The red is where I believe the exit path will push out... coming out of the building, passed the outside of the downed engine semi-cylindrical structure (but between that structure and the trees where the main path into the town centre is you can make out a path that doesn't ever communicate with the main one anywhere else). Finally dumping truly out by the merch stands.
Now the one other point of speculation supporting that being the exit is that the downed engine has an exterior ridged lip to it. I speculate if the exit path is forced through that way... the lip is actually an overhang for some more merch, Photopass, etc. A few stands
MiceChat speculated the huge doors communicating with the backstage area between the two rides is for the exit. I'll guarantee that's not the case, the ride building is huge and that is simply way too far away from the ride entrance... guests are dumb and need to be dumped out somewhat close to their strollers.

Unrelated (?or related) note but I finally found the coveted rare model shot of the bulk of what does not exist in Florida. Pretty much everything in the foreground. I think TDO tried to scorch it from the internet...
Also... are those cut outs in the foreground bathrooms? I actually don't know if we ever decided that. I see I was calling that a queue once upon a time (formerly highlighted in Pink), but bathrooms seems a lot more logical.

Ooooh. I like it how it splits into two different paths in the lower left hand corner (Critter Country entrance)
