The protocol droid assisting me in my passage through Star Wars Galaxy's Edge said the cranes in distance were the Jawas building an encampment. The droid explained further that it is called "Monsters-inc land. Or Monstropolis."

Odd to see this pair of World Celebration shops closed daytime. Might be the first they have been closed for EPCOT daily operation since their refurbishment in the pandemic era.
