They do include cliff notes version of the set up in the ILL queue. It's not near the detail in the regular line because it's not long enough but it's not nothing either. One of the issues is you aren't there long enough to read or see it eitherBut you miss the set up of the whole premise of the ride in the ILL. The pre-show starts what is the ultimate part of the Xandar exhibit - the queue leads up to it and builds the whole themeing.
Will I ride it with ILL? Yes - because I love it. BUT I'm definitely going for VQ (assuming it stays that way through August) because IMHO the queue is an integral part of the ride.
We never got enough time in the regular line to really see or read any of it either. The line was moving quick. A good thing of course
