Couldn't this just be the building that recently was Oakens? Disney seems to have lost steam (again) on the DHS remodel so the building seems to just be sitting there, like the rest of the BLT (and 60% of DHS).
You should have been there back in the day when they tried to use Tatooine Traders for the exclusive merchandise. They had to use the outdoor queue of Star Tours and it the LE merchandise line stayed at a consistent 3-4 hours long for a good portion of the day.
If it is the building I am thinking of, it has been used for this in the past...last year being the most recent time. It is a fair option, but I believe the tent was larger and its placement away from all of the Star Wars going ons made it a bit better in the crowd flow department.
I thought last year it was in the area that now is being filled in with a third Midway Mania track? Also Oakens V.1.0.
No, different building. Former AFI was recently Oakes
agreed. they have had concerts in those tents over there in the past (yes, wiggles and imagination movers - hey, it was for my kids) and it seemed rather sturdy to me. and it was much larger. i also love the logo this year.
Ugly/clever. Sometimes Imagineers still come up with witty names for buildings (although most attraction names are clunky nowadays). Darth's Mall is surprisingly not dumbed-down. I would expect The Store with Merchandise from Your Star Wars Universe Friends (+ Cupcakes).
