I think you would have to walk a backstage hallway or two to get to the loading area and bypass the pre show.

It does appear they are using a single rider line today via these posts on X:

I’m curious, you come in there.. so how do you get sorted into an open slot in an interrogation room?

You still have the hallway to the interrogation area to come...

Agree. If you come out there, you'd just get mixed in with large groups as they enter from the shuttle. I would expect the single rider line to lead directly to the shorting area for the interrogation rooms without mixing with the normal line before hand. that way if any groups sorted have open slots, they can direct single riders to fine in sports on available colors.

According to the site that shall not be named..
The left side in the post-hanger hallway is reserved for single riders. A First Order officer is there before the split to make sure you go to the correct line/side.
However, I feel like this will just back up the regular standby line and make it go slower if only one side is being used for groups of 2 or more..

The odd/even split probably comes at the front of that line, with there being 4 interrogation rooms, odd number parties stay straight and even numbers go right?

I wondered if they’d do that. But seems regular standby has more chance to backup into the hanger now though?
Here's an in-depth article from Blog Mickey showing the process

My thoughts as well - seems like this is more trouble than it’s worth. Maybe after testing they are thinking of incorporating it in another way.
If loaded correctly - this attraction shouldn’t really need single riders - I don’t think I’ve ever seen an empty seat.

I’ve been on Rise probably 50 times and I don’t think I’ve ever seen an empty seat either. But I guess they most have some data that says otherwise

My husband and I had a vehicle to ourselves in May.
We also were evacuated from the ride.

Really don't like how — especially for first-time riders — they lose a big chunk of the story *and* miss the great reveal into the hangar upon departing the shuttle. Disappointing — not very good show.

There seems to be a change to the single rider line according to BlogMickey as ops testing continues.
You now proceed on the right side (instead of left) of the ITS ship facade.
This new path then brings you to a different backstage hallway and through a new entrance in the Star Destroyer Hanger room. Much closer to the long hallway, and don't walk across the room anymore in front of standby guests.

Awful desision by operations.
Coming soon: bypass the "cumbersome" stretch rooms at The Haunted Mansion and hop in a doom buggy right away, just like on Mermaid!

I think the original path of the SR line was actually a win for everyone.
If you didn't want to use it, your experience was unaffected.
If you wanted a truncated experience in order to get on the actual ride portion faster, go for it.
I think the easiest solution is to minimally "theme" the hallway from the first path and open it up, but the big issue with this is that it crosses the standby/LL path in front of the shuttle. I think this new way was for Disney to test out a more permanent possible path, but I don't think it's worth it.
I think the RnRC SR path cuts between standby right before the preshow right?
From a personal level, I don't think there isn't a preshow i wouldn't skip to turn an hour+ wait into a 10ish min wait even if I have to separate from my party during the ride.

I attempted to ride this yesterday and was taken to the right side. Before we crossed past the shuttle into the hangar, the cast member said that we had to put our phones away since we were going backstage. That seemed at odds with what I had read, but made sense after I saw where they took us. It was also incredibly hot in the canyon area, even in the shade, and the CM said something about getting fans. I waited 15 minutes there.
The ride broke down while I was waiting in the star destroyer hallway after another 15 minutes. A CM escorted the entire lot of us singles out another backstage door, through more backstage hallways, which confused me since they did not say anything to us back in the line. Only once they dumped us outside by the exit did I hear a CM finally say that the ride was down and to come back later. For me, the wait would have been more than half an hour had I gotten to ride. Given that long a wait, the terrible canyon experience, and feeling herded around like a second-class guest, I did not come back.
I wanted to experience the single rider once just for the experience, but it's not an experience I'd like to repeat. I don't see this being more efficient than grouping odd and even parties on either side of queue like they do at other attractions. I hope Disney sends me a survey.

My first experience opn the Millennium Falcon was in the single rider line...the host suggested since I was by myself I should do that... It never occured to me that I would be standing in a back gallways and untemed stairwell missing the entire preshow and just ending up on the ship's deck... It was bizarre....and did not leave a good impression at all.Tried it again a few months later using the normal line...We all thought is was good... not amazing...but good. Whichwas better than my first impression anyway...
