A little behind the scenes magic. Here is what the cantina looks like when I first started building it. I dug a hole under the monorail station and start bay placing walls and figuring out the general layout. Then I add the details and build the ground around it as needed.

and here is what the entrance looks like after its all completed

Sneak peak - - working on finishing up the next land...Galaxy's Edge (Batuu) inspired by the new land going in at the Disney parks.

Back outside. This walkway (feeding into the stadium entrance that you see) proved to be a bottleneck when there were lots of guests in the park. So I came up with an 'off-grid' solution of sorts. See the next photo for an explanation.
Also, I created this alien looking tree on the right side of this shot.

So in this shot, you can see the backstage area walkway I created to alleviate the crowd bottleneck. If you look up towards the upper center, you can see the darker red pathway area from the previous shot. What I did is create a pathway from the back bathroom hallway of the Cantina (cantina is boxed out in yellow)...along the edge of the park (dashed line) and covered it in a hallway. I added a few generic shops and bathrooms along the walkway to lure guest this way. This now gave guest an alternate way to get the the stadium area
and eliminated the bottlenecks I was seeing. this also lured guests into the cantina, even if it was just to be walking through to get to the backstage walkway.

Before we head into the stadium area...a few night shots of this area.

I can't get over how much this area looks like an actual Star Wars set (or CGI background). The other areas do, too, but forests and swamps, for example, don't look all that different from places on Earth. However, this particular mix of colors and the dense jumble of certain shapes is uniquely Star Wars, and you've capture it so well it's immediately obvious what you're doing even without having the Falcon tucked into a corner. This is the archetypical Star Wars desert shanty town, as distinct from a Mad Max or or even real life desert shanty town. Great job!
 
Last update or communication from me for several days...heading out of town with no PC.

Now let's take a closer look at some of the flat rides in this area.
First we have the Octopus ride, which I themed as a scarlacc pit idea.

The queue area is covered in tarps to shade the guest from the hot Tatooine suns.

Good thing the Falcon has sci-fi reactionless drives. Otherwise, its exhaust when doing vertical landings in such places would hit the ground, go sideways, and blow away all those tents ;).
