To the best of my knowledge it hasn't been stated where the exact entrance to the Falcon ride building would be, Star Wars Explained YT Channel guessed that from information revealed in the recent book all about Hondo and Flight of the Falcon, that we would enter through Hondo's "Ohnaka Transport Solutions" shopfront, which most likely would be this massive archway here.
But then there are these curious circular shaped exit corridors that are eerily reminiscent of the interior of the Falcon, so my guess would be that this is the exit part for this attraction. Especially considering that in the construction phases we learnt this area would house the Pre-Shows for the attraction.

But also analysing this earlier piece of concept art, this archway at the bottom of the tower could easily be the entrance as well???

Traditionally entrances are smaller than exits, right? It'd make sense to me if the tubes on the left hand side of the Falcon were the entrances and the shop was the exit. This way there could be separation for standby and fastpass (and possibly single/"solo" rider), the queue would have plenty of space before getting to the preshow section (if it's) on the other side of the Falcon, and post-ride everybody would dump into the gift shop, as per Disney tradition.

Completely agree, just wanted to throw some ideas out there and see what people were thinking. The only reason why I brought up the other area as the entrance, is that supposedly in story terms, we're meant to be entering Hondo's "Ohnaka Transport Solutions" storefront, and so thought that Disney might be reversing their traditional structure for an attraction e.g. exit through gift shop. As there will be plenty of retail space within the land within Merchant's Row.
But those archways would make more sense as the entrance, FP+, Solo riders etc.
I don't know much other than what insiders tell us, and insiders haven't come down AFAIK on the queue situation for Falcon. However, I do know from concept art and the model that where the white arrow is is just a raised platform without any up or down facing the Falcon. Sorta like a stage. It's just currently not completely constructed.
Red is entrance(s)
Green exit (s)
(All at ground level, none involve the Falcon prop)

Wow, even in the midst of current construction, it looks like it came straight out of the movies
I'm quite impressed and I am not big into Star Wars.

This was posted in the DL SWGE discussion and goes along with the questions of guest flow into and out of the show building. I dont know how accurate it is just passing the info along.

The discussion spanned November 25th- 26th (page #586) and between myself and BrianLo, I think we nailed it. (Also, I know these threads are huge, but I think if you at least searched my posts, BrianLo's, and Britain's, you'll find deductions on most key points of this project well ahead of other sources and with confirmations by Martin.)

How many guest can the queues of each attraction hold? The land will be packed (shocker). Just curious about the guest number in the queues.
Edit. I missed that Bob whispered a correction. So, that means it won't open before Oct 1.

I'm so pumped - this is starting to feel real!
Before WDW changed their ticket system to a dynamic pricing model, bought a 3-day park hopper that's good through 2019. Didn't have accommodation booked but was getting antsy about on-property rates, so bit the bullet and used Marriott points at the Swan. Being able to walk to DHS and having early FP+ access should be huge. The only thing missing is airfare–and confirmation that the land will be open by 12/15/19...
