As we get closer to the official opening of Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge (although we have already been inside), we notice many of the current construction projects at Disney’s Hollywood Studios are moving along quickly in an effort to be ready in time. The new security checkpoint expansion is showing a lot of progress, in fact, it looks just about finished.
