Will the expansion of the Traders shop mean Star Tours will be repurposed for something else or used for GE?

no, they were just fixing long standing traffic flow problems

You are cold and heartless! How could you resist those cute little faces? Especially since you’ll have just eaten their BBQd Mom with fries and sweet corn for lunch).

A nice, goosebump inducing soundtrack as you approach the entrance tunnel would be awesome. Make it TFX with lots of heavy duty speakers!

I was thinking the same thing.
In Star Wars, there will be many opportunities to mix in music with street sounds.
It could be used as though it's emanating from the cantina, it could even be used as though it's coming from radios in the marketplace.

Just no.

Hubby loves Porgs.

He barely held our own babies so tenderly.

Or he could be thinking: : "If only you fellas were real, there would be a BBQ taking place right now."

I won’t hold this against either of you.

Muppets will go away and that area with Star Tours will be incorporated into GE. Echo lake and IJSS will go away too.

That would nearly be half the park. I dunno about that.

Welcom to LuxarFilm Studio Park!

Well then Muppets and Star Tours become part of the SW:GE expansion that’s needed before opening day.

Not sure if anyone had pointed this out, but one of the locations shown in the Rise of the Resistance trailer should actually make for an incredibly exiting scene. Below you can see what is basically a row of cannon mounts:

You can see two of them above the troopers. The canons fire through the sheilded openings during ship-to-ship battles. This is something we've seen before in Revenge of the Sith:

Imagine passing below in our ride vehicles as the canons fire overhead at a Resistance ship who in turn is firing back in a chaotic exchanged of explosive volleys.
Perhaps we sabotage this facility to aid our allies in rescuing us from the First Order.

Not sure if anyone also follows the conversation on the Disneyland side, but we recently had a good conversation about where we will actually enter/exit the Falcon Ride.
Here's my take from today's Bioreconsturct set:

1) This I believe to be the Fastpass/Standby Entrance point that will actually follow a curve to the right behind the Falcon before entering the main indoor queue.
2) Exit for the pair of carousels right?
3) Exit for the pair of carousels left?

I believe drod1985 was first to point out those circles here and thought those could be the Fastpass/Standby entrances.

I found these model pics on Slashfilm that show there are actually three of these circle vents, two open, and one closed.

If indeed the exit, then we are leaving rather inconspicuously. Like a proper smuggler.
Anyone know more?
