You are really good at sketching!
Looking at the layout, and realizing the popularity of this IP, that still won't be big enough to satiate people. They are going to need to expand it into that one area. I am a die hard Disney fan, but even the casual fan, Star Wars fan and/or general passerby that I might talk to about a Star Wars Land in WDW gets excited by the thought of it.

There was some discussion in the DL thread about this, but can you actually see the Battle attraction queue in either of the concept art (i.e. the art released for Disneyland a few days ago and the one that was released in April)?

Is the queue for the battle attraction outdoor?

They're going to need to build a third attraction to SWE. Harry Potter at IoA has 3 (4 if you count both of the coasters). Sure, there's Star Tours, but it's technically not a part of this part of the park.
Yep. I had seen DL layouts with the main attractions swapped, hence my note.
Yes. Standby outside has 3 separate zones even before going inside for another 3/4 areas.

Is this basically going to be the mother of all queues?
It'll certainly rank up there with Mummy, Forbidden Journey and Temple of the Forbidden Eye.

The boat you refer to appears to be a Mike Fink Keelboat, resurrected for this concept art. The "boardwalk" is actually the new DLRR trestle going past the new land, next to a rock wall that hides the contents from the train.
That's true. But, having a Star Wars boat(s) to transport guests makes perfect sense. It would create an additional entry point and can also help to stagger the hordes of guests racing toward Star Wars land.
In the rendering, you can see the boat and I see some kind of boardwalk that extends across to what appears to be some kind of walkway or tunnel that leads into the land. You can also see the boat dock on the left.

Never been overly impressed with Mummy's queue, but the other two are definitely my #1&2. Kong's looks to be pretty awesome as well.

Personally, I like the idea of it opening in CA first, and I hope every die-hard SW fan flocks to it... and then stays away from WDW when it opens. It's going to be crazy-crowded no matter what, but any pressure that CA can take off of WDW, the better.
I like the idea of a staggered opening as it give me the chance to attend both.

Seems that you left off The Living Seas... ;-)

LM opened in DCA well over a year before it did in WDW. The rides themselves are identical, it's just that WDW got the mother of all queues to handle the vast hords of people waiting to ride it. DL actually got the "improvements before WDW did. DCA got Grizzly River Run - the quality of ride that KRR "should" have been. The DCA Soarin got the digital upgrade years befor the EP version did. POC and iasw were both at DL prior to WDW, and the MK copies of both are inferior to the originals. MK got the old Toontown Faire (which has since been torn down); DL got an entire Toontown land that is still standing. DL has Indy, WDW has the "similar", but not as good Dinosaur...
In fact the only attraction that I can think of that was cloned in DLR that is NOT as good or better than the WDW "equivalent" is ToT.

Excellent drawing! This makes things a lot more crystal clear. The Disney artwork is nice but this really gives a feeling of what to expect in that part of the park. Plus, the queues (zones) sound really cool. An attraction within an attraction.

@marni1971 Great drawing! So will there only be 2 entrances to SWL at DHS? The MiceChat artwork showed 3 for DL's version.

The better solution for both resorts would've been a simultaneous opening so that everyone just goes to the park that's closest rather than a huge mass of people converging on one.
Thanks and yes.
