Oh, look. The droids we are looking for arrived!
I suspect they won’t be out tomorrow, unfortunately.

As someone that watched Clone Wars and Rebels, he's a great character and extremely entertaining. He'd bring a bit more life to the land. The hard part is replicating Jim Cummings voice.

How do you dedicate SWGE without the Star Wars theme song at the end? I know John Williams wrote a new theme for GE, but it would’ve worked better at the beginning, with the iconic music pumping up the final blast into lightspeed and Batuu.
It blows my mind that the SW main title theme wasn’t used...

So is it just invited guests / media today?

Just media, no regular guests, no AP's. Tomorrow is all free game....with the virtual queue that I bet 95% of the guests aren't going to know about.

tl;dw...
Seeing the Millennium Falcon was so weird. The colors of the blue and green milk were weird. The rock work makes it seem like you're on some weird planet. All the cast members are in weird costumes.

The land is opening up tomorrow. Let's not make this a back and forth about the movies.

A couple of reaction from four "50-something" DVC owners and Star Wars fans from the previews:
We all absolutely loved the theming of the land.
We all had a blast on MFSR. Three of us were pilots over two rides. We could have have used a bit more pilot orientation on how to slow the ship so we didn't do as well the first go-through (but still had fun). The second go-through we did much, much better but the right pilot was some Millennial on his 10th run. Those of us who were gunners and engineers also enjoyed those positions for various reasons (could see more, didn't get as bothered by motion sickness, had already been pilot, etc.)
We all noticed areas that were clearly set up to be stages for entertainment and agree the land needs live entertainment and more streemosphere. But for a first visit, we didn't exactly miss it. It would just be better to have it for repeat visit. We absolutely did not miss the background music. The sound package was really cool, and we enjoyed it immensely.
The food was good. The shops interesting. We all wondered when the upcharges were coming and how quickly prices will rise, this being Disney.
Plenty of storm-troopers. Saw Vi interact with a lot of kids and cosplay adults. Had a neat encounter with a CM, whom I asked about the different style of TIE Fighters. He explained they differences and then quietly said he "preferred the fighters over in the ruins," and then revealed a hidden resistance seal in his ring. I get what Bob Chapek said about the CMs making their own back-stories, and I do appreciate they have done this. I heard it as a mild excuse for the lack of performers, but also a tribute to the dedication and creativity of the CMs.
We got our "thermal detonators" through TSA without a problem. Empty bottles in the suitcase. They did search the suitcase, but didn't disturb the bottles The R2D2 brass trivet, however, was unwrapped.
I built an R2 unit (didn't appreciate how much they helped me - I could have done it on my own, I watch YouTube!!). The TSA were really interested in the droid - but they wanted to play with him, not inspect him! They kept calling others over to "ooh and aah."
I'm extremely glad we had a nearly-empty preview and could just roam the land and enjoy everything at our leisure. If it's going to be more crowded (obviously it will be, given this was a preview), more entertainment will be essential. Really can't wait for Rise of the Resistance.
