But phenomenal for a family land. Star Wars Land should have a higher capacity.

I actually really like the score during those scenes but that's about it. It would be fine music as part of the land's area music though!

Ok, so I finally caught up on this thread and have a few thoughts after looking at the concept art and details released.
-there's been some talk about this area, most likely some sort of food place. To me I kind of think it looks like a lunch box, so maybe that could be the theme? And I also think it's quick service, considering the tables don't really looked connected to the structure, plus idk just the look of it seems like something you'd walk up to.
-also a lot of thought on what this could be. My initial feeling says meet and greet, though I wonder if M&Gs are going to be dispersed throughout the land (such as buzz meeting over by aliens, woody over in the western area, etc.). So if not that, then I think a gift shop. Though just a guess of course.
-Old western "woodsy round up" area I guess? Seems like a nice touch! I definitely could see a full gable service restaurant here, maybe a M&G, most likely some sort of souvenir shop. But there seems to be a lot of space in these show buildings, so maybe there's something else planned...though unlikely anything major.
-this building was talked about a bit a few pages back... Seems like the general consensus is that it's aliens queue. It's pretty big, but I'm ok with that, as that means no tedious, compacted switchback queue for this like many other flat rides.
-this building got quite a bit of buzz...most likely a gift shop. I know a lot of you were saying that it can't be al's because it doesn't fit with the theme, plus it has a handel on top. Well, whether or not it is themed to als or not, it looks just like it, especially with the mill on the right side with the cow on top
A few other thoughts-
-It seems like the construction timetable is the biggest question now. And there's a lot to do before they can start, between demolition and moving important backstage stuff (though, they've had almost a year to do that, so I'd really hope soon..)
-there's been a lot of talk about more lands coming soon after this. I mean, I know no more than you guys, but there kinda has to be, right? How does the park make any sense otherwise? If the new direction the park is going in is letting you "live and experience the movies", like it's looking like it is with the two announced lands, they'll need more than toy story and Star Wars. At least two more IP themed lands back there will be needed IMO. They'll probably both be Pixar, which is fine. Though I'd kinda like to see one Pixar and one muppets...
-does anyone have any blueprints of the TSMM layout? I'm curious how having an entrance in the back will affect the current queue. Plus, will there be a lot of downtime needed for mania to finish this up? I'd imagine they'd wait till the very end to close mania... Plus, there's no way they'd have both Star Tours and Midway Mania closed at the same time, so Star Wars construction probably won't start until this opens.
-I'm excited!

Queue takes up the bulk of the left side and abuts the new track. Easy enough to send the new queue initially through the new building and connect into the current queue.

Good catch on the lunch box, I think you are right, I didn't notice that initially.
I think the barn is influenced by Al's and this...

Maybe I'm mistaken or thinking of something else, but weren't little people toys like that actually in the original toy story?

It's a washroom. Not glamorous I know, but a land necessitates one.

Thank you so much. That video answered so many things I have wondered for years.
Looking back, I have probably been in that catwalk when it was used for the Backstage Pass but I rarely got to go to the attraction. Did that catwalk looked like the other one (TV screens on the top)?

Call me déclassé, but that with worthwhile rides looks fun to me. Building that with Mystic Point and Grizzly Gulch was wonderful. Our upgraded version will be wonderful with Star Wars Land and Only-Bob-Knows Land.It's a washroom. Not glamorous I know, but a land necessitates one.

I'm a big proponent of the fact that it actually works in Hong Kong, and does not in Paris. I have a feeling those who are particularly hard on it have only been inside Paris. I can't put my finger on it, but it's just so dreary by comparison at WDS.

They are fairly similar. It might just be Paris' climate doesn't lend itself well to the look. Florida is at least tropical.
There is a je ne sais quois with Hong Kong's version.
I have a good feeling Florida's will actually be well received outside of the theme park snobs, especially considering all three of its attractions are more compelling than HKDL/WDS.

I'm still trying to gather all my thoughts on the Star Wars lands, but this was one of my first reactions too.
It's premature to say what the land or even Episode VII itself will include, but it's hard to imagine a Star Wars Land without Darth Vader, Tatooine, or Yoda. Beyond just being bold, it seems even foolish to exclude those elements regardless of how successful the new movie is. They're so central and iconic to the franchise as a whole, which the new movie is just a small part of.
It'd be as if Universal decided to build their first Harry Potter-themed land completely after the upcoming Newt Scamander movies, completely ignoring Hogwarts, Hogsmeade, and Harry himself. Even if the movies are good, they'd be excluding a huge portion of that universe.
I'm hoping the rumors of a cantina restaurant are true, meaning we might get a "blended" land... maybe primarily based on one of the new planets but with elements of the others mixed in.
