If we get there around 10am. On a lower crowd day. with elementary aged kids.

How long wait for Chewie and Ky Lo?

How long to tour the "museum"?

touring plans is giving it 1:05 with wait and attraction time...is it really that long to do it justice?
 
I think it depends on how big of Star Wars fans you are... my family isn't all that into Star Wars so we didn't spend much time in the museum area. We met Chewie with a 15 minute wait.
 
There's not a lot to it honestly. I was stunned that people think its worth much of anything but when I go back with the kids, I'm sure we will try to meet Chewie and Kylo Ren.
 
I was curious about this as well. I would assume it would take most of an hour just to meet 2 characters since they are seperate lines/waits.
 

If you do everything it could take well over an hour depending on lines. That would include the M&Gs with Chewey and Kylo Ren, interacting with the Jawas (which is fun), seeing the movie and exhibits and seeing the Stormtroopers outside. We really enjoyed it.
 
I agree it depends on how much of a Star Wars fan the people in your group are. We waited for about 10 min. to meet Chewy. We skipped Kylo Ren because my 5 year old was afraid, but his wait was 15 min. according to the sign. We probably spent another 15 min. looking at the things in the area. If you are a huge Star Wars fan, it might take longer if you wanted to look at everything, take pictures, etc. We glanced as we walked by and took a few pics. The Jawas weren't out when we were there.
 
Your kids might run thru the museum. It's not that time consuming. But if they want to meet both characters plus interact with the Jawas and hang in the gift shop, it will take at least 30-45 mins. there's also a video game area.
 
I wish we had much more time. We toured the "museum" for maybe 20 minutes, but felt rushed & lots of people so hard to see. We did not do either M&G due to time. We LOVED the interaction with the Jawas. I would say if you are doing the M&G, 1 hour is pushing it, assuming you're a Star Wars fan or a movie buff.
 
The amount of time you spend there all depends on you and those in your group. You can spend 10 min in there or over an hour.

We watched the behind the scenes video which had a 30 min wait. Definitely wasn't worth more than a 5-10 min wait but we went when it first opened and didn't know what we were about to watch.

The meet and greets seem to be about 30min waits all day. Then there's a lot of replicas, costumes, artwork, etc that you can look at. Aside from waiting 30 min to see that video, we spent about 15 min inside looking at the stuff
