Disney's Star Wars: Galactic Starcruiser FIRST REVIEWS Are In...
VloĆŸit
- Äas pĆidĂĄn 24. 02. 2022
- The first reviews of Disney's Star Wars: Galactic Starcruiser are in, and the media seems to be baffled by the price point. Also it's clear that this is designed for rich Reylos who like to LARP. If you're rich, bored and love The Last Jedi... this one is for YOU! If that's your thing, by all means drop $6,000. It's your money. But for Star Wars fans who aren't Disney Star Wars Sequel Trilogy fans... you might want to buy some primo OT merch instead.

@David I believe their surname is Soywoker, there is only one Skywalker in the sequel trilogy, Mary Rae Palpatine.
And cash war begins.
So how long till they turn it into a normal hotel with Trek Wars? I would rather go on a real Ship.
I followed you guys on Twitter, as thedeadmantalks, and tagged you in a couple of cringe posts
800 bucks maybe. i would go for a 2 day event
For a little under $1500, an adult can spend 6 days and 5 nights at real life Space Camp. I really don't know why Disney thought they could get away with overcharging for a lot of nothing.
Too many idiots shelling out too much money over too many years. If almost every idea you'd ever had mad money you'd do some way out stuff too.
They think it is so unique they have no competition but in reality their competition is any other vacation option.
Iâve been to space camp and itâs actually a ton of fun
Because they are, according to Disney a few years ago, focused more on social media posts to âknowâ what people want? By definition that must exclude Walt Disney fans given their lack of social media engagement.
@@cherylb6755 disney cares about brain dead normies. they havenât cared about disney fans in YEARS lol
Star Wars is dead. I just wish Disney would stop violating the body already.
It's dinner theater, wrapped around the absolute worst part of star wars, the sequels. Absolutely embarrassing.
Agreed. Anything 12 BBY and prior is best and Disney missed out on a prequel opportunity. Prequels forever!
Please don't insult dinner shows like Medieval Times, Capone's, and Pirate's Dinner Show. They deserve better than to be compared to this overpriced LARP usurper because at least the three Orlando dinner shows are creative (even the Queen's story of Medieval Times) and not that expensive compared to Dismal Disney.
@@mkaplan1383 Fair
I'd have to be screaming drunk to enjoy it. Imagine paying 6 grand to sit through junior school level staging and acting. Jesus H. I'd riot.
The really ugly thing that makes Disney so damn petty and out of touch with their âcustomersâ is their very obvious grip on peoples opinions. You cannot have your own. It must be Disneyâs. I just checked twitter and the negative reviews are instantly being slapped with a copyright violation if the review has an image or video.
Then⊠surprise the tweet disappears.
This is the company who is basically the sole reason copyright laws are as anti-consumer as they are. This is their business model: "you don't have to be the best when you have a monopoly."
Evil actions from an evil company.
Ironwolf56,So true.The corrupt Mouse is just getting more and more despicable.
They only highlight positive comments on their videos too. What a sad state.
Do you think Disney actually gives a đ©about the average âcustomerâ? That ship sailed in about 2014
Just for poops and laughs, I looked up what the cost would be for a very basic room on the Queen Mary 2 for a transatlantic, round trip cruise and the start price was $2100 per person. We're talking 14 days, sailing from New York to Southampton and back to New York (old school, 20th century cruise). So imagine what $6000 would get you on a cruise like that compared to staying at a hotel for 2 nights at Disney.
I am a lifelong Star Wars fan, and honestly even if it WAS Original Trilogy...I would be hard-pressed to justify spending THIS MUCH MONEY. For $6,000, I want to walk on a Star Destroyer bridge, interact with Darth Vader, and have FREE REIGN to wander and explore. Not for me, thanks.
throw in my own personal jedi and sith pet then maybe id pay that much lols
......with Gonk and Mouse droids running all over, full crew acting cast, "steal a TIE Fighter" sim, Rebel prisoners to free, Stormtrooper armor to dress up in, etc. etc. etc....... #hiremeDisney
@@theadmiral4625 exactly, original trilogy would have been the best choice since everyone loves the OG
You might like the oneup video game, that has three of the original Star Wars games in one cabinet.
Lot less expensive than a trip to the star Cruiser
I'd rather be on the Enterprise with Kirk and Spock đ
Wait they charge for drinks?!
Theyâre not included for that price??????
WTF!!!!!!!
probably cuz they'd have binge drinkers tryimg to kill the boredom.
Disney need money!
Do they charge people to use the bathrooms in the hotel proper??? Wtf???
@@spritemon98 they charge you to flush not to go.
Food is not free, I heard you pay for it too and the robes/clothes people use, ridiculously overpriced, one would think some stuff like food or drinks would be included for the amount they want people to pay....
Imagine paying $6000 to push glowing buttons and get âdropped offâ at batu so you can shop. You can walk through the light section at lowes to get the same effect as to what they are trying to sell you.
"dropped off"in the back of a pantech moving truck,no less...oh! I mean "shuttle"....đ€Ł
The light section of Lowes is the best section to be fair.
@@realityshifter3399 đđđ
@@realityshifter3399 if you mean actors dressed up as the least popular human characters, a singer in an alien cosplay that con goers put to shame, and a storyline that makes the Vegas Treasure Island movie ad an oscar winner then you're spot on.
TBH, the light section at Lowes is pretty neat. And you get to turn the lights off and on.
PASS. No seriously, sometimes a company makes such a bad decision I won't even consider it. Just pure PASS.
Sometimes? It happens to Disney all the time.
Sometimes? Every decision they made after purchasing Star Wars was asinine
Not just PASS but FAST PASS.
Yeah, and not the boarding pass kind!
This looks like Kathleen went to a âDinner Detectivesâ show and said; âI could totally do this with Star Wars and make an entire hotel around it.â
They should have made this like a 4 - 6 hour experience. Charge like a $100 - $120 per person and do two "shows" a day. Limit the capacity to about a hundred people per show so every one gets to participate.
Done. It would sell out every day.
You can still have all the same activities but sprinkle in and hide more plot elements for people to discover and and participate in. Generally just make it a more interactive experience not a hotel.
This would have been an execution that would have had shelf life for many many years. Think a longer more in depth Medieval Times. It would booked as part of a standard Disney trip. One day in the park one day for this Star Wars experience.
I'm a construction worker that thought this up in 20 minutes while breaking concrete. How much to Disney pay the people who designed this?
Probably about as much as you get paid monthly. They expect people to be attracted to the brand rather than the content within. When usually it's the opposite.
If you used your head, rather than a sledgehammer to break that concrete, this starcruiser really starts to make a lot more sense.
Except that 120$ x 200 customers x 2 shows per day = 48 000$ per day vs 16 customers at roughly 3000$ a day each = 48 000$
This is not for people like me
exactly, and like someone in another comment said, add a hotel as well and for each room or floor its based on a different planet that way it mixes things up a bit. or different time periods in the universe (old republic, prequel trilogy, OG) or something. disney shot themselves in the foot for sure.
I agree! I am a casual star wars fan and I have not watched the Disney triology.
I would never pay for the full experience, even if it was more affordable. But if it was a 6 hour activity, I would probably pay $300 per person for it depending on what is included.
I feel ya geeky⊠I have a limited âin person, social batteryâ and once itâs drained, I have to find somewhere quiet to hide for a while and recharge it before facing people again.đâ€ïžđ
Geeky is so like me. "Why don't you try both styles and let customers decide". Which as far as I know every single company the last 10 years have said "No we can't do that. The customers will pick the wrong option and ruin my narrative".
Coulda just made this a Star Wars themed hotel where the staff just act like people from the Star Wars universe and not do all this chauffeured, half-assed LARP. Would make bank with it just being a hotel.
It might be that if the LARPing doesn't work out financially. A completely themed hotel without all the forced LARP activities sounds great.
Price tag: "HEFTY, HEFTY, HEFTY"
Experience:"wimpy, wimpy, wimpy"
The character costumes look horrendous! Even the singerâs outfit looks cheap, ill fitted, and poorly designed. Its so sad.
you are totally right... they look cheap and generic. Very very bad.
The whole thing looks cheap. It was my first reaction. And my second, then my third. Everything from the sets to the costumes to the lack of proper atmospheric lighting for Gaia screams that Disney wants to wring money from customers and give as little as possible in return. Rey's cringe saber switch ... again screams cheap. They didn't pay to get her fight choreography developed for the set they're using. I would have thought that saber switch was laughable shit when I was 7 ffs.
Here's a question. Where are the Droids?
All sorts of droids running around doing work? Serving drinks, bringing you towels and room service, doing maintenance on the "Ship"?
It would improve the experience, and this looks like it could use a lot of improvement. If they did that you can guarantee there would be some idiots who would have a couple extra drinks and wind up damaging the droids somehow. They would have to hire extra staff to droid-sit them.
@@och70 actual server droids are impossible it would actually just be more staff in coustomes like it was for CPO and R2D2.
@@och70 Also there's a very high chance an R2 or another kind of astromech droid running over a guest feet and the person suing the Disney.
It's a similar reason why their Wall-e walk around animatronic never got
implemented.
I saw a video this morning and the vlogger was in the middle of the dinner service and they came in and made them leave for another part of the "play". I was thinking what? You pay all that money and can't even enjoy a meal? Then he showed a room like a hotel room, but this was only an 8 hour deal. Why the need for rooms?
The 'Meteor Egg" is nothing more than a Scotch Egg that you can get in EPCOT at the England Pavilion restaurant. More Reuse, or shall I say Refuse (garbage) of standard Disney food.
Just go to EPCOT five day straight.
You can get entry, parking, rides, and eat this common English egg dish for less .
It's cheaper to fly to Scotland and buy a real Scotch egg than a pathetic Disney approximation.....
There's a little shop in Garelochhead that does a Scotch Egg of the Day where the owner has swapped the Sausage meat with Black Pudding and Haggis, Mackerel, or Smoked Salmon. They are just the ones I remember. The Black Pudding and Haggis is pretty good.
If you do make the trip, it's about an hour or so from Glasgow and about 20 minutes from Loch Lomond. You'll probably enjoy the experience a lot more than this over priced rubbish.
The bento boxes donât look good there are people that can make better ones.
The reason it looks more like Star Trek is that the design is too pristine. They forgot that a lot of Star Wars design is rugged, old, rundown and a bit steampunk-ish. Gadgets!
Not nearly enough greebles on the new trilogy ships.
It has to look clean for the rich karens who will go to this.
I just explained to my sister the other day why a Star Wars world needs to a bit dirty, not unkempt but lived in. It has been so long and most have forgotten that all sci-fi used to be white and sterile. Star wars was ground breaking for being the opposite. I mean have some damaged or mismatched panels on the cruiser with a cool story about how a sith attack and sliced it with a lightsaber or something.
Tbf thats the minority design of star wars. Most of the franchise is clean, or at least looking futuristic and not "mcgyvered" looking ships and buildings. Just not Chrome with holoroom tech like star trek. Look at most of the prequel and sequel trilogies, the Clone Wara series, everything in the Old Republic, etcetc. Its a planet to planet thing, but you have to look at this as a Corasaunt luxury cruiser, not a rebel starfighter.
I'm very 50-50 on the "gritty" theme being more Star Wars. Yes SW has a layer of dirty reality, but having been on many real life cruise ships, they are super clean and pristine, even older ships, so if this is an upper class cruise ship in space, then I get it being very clean looking. It's a tough one. If it had some grunge on, people might actually complain "I paid this much for this dirty place?". Oh well.
The clean starwars exists. Think star destroyers and naboo vessels. Prob is this hotel looks nothing like those at all. It's basically star trek. There is a star Wars look and they missed it
I agree. While âcleanâ Star Wars does exist,the heroâs journey is gritty, and thatâs the experience I want. Besides, This star cruiser isnât so much clean as it is generic and clinical. It looks more like some place people go to get sterilizedâŠnot a vacay.
@@briarrabbit2468 it truly looks like they just grabbed some tech from the old Disney quest, updated it with star trek and opened a day spa without the spa.
Iâm a 30-year-old lifelong Star Wars fan and cosplayer who has the money to go if I want to, but this doesnât even feel like itâs for me
Because.....it isn't.
I've been spreading this around a lot, but I would have totally shilled out 6 or 10 thousand dollars if the 'star liner' was a 'star cruiser' from the original trilogy or clone wars (screw Episode one and its space battle). I pick a side; Republic/Separatist, Empire/Rebellion.
Spend two or three days 'aboard' and learn my station, behind a turbo laser or anti-fighter gun. I mean, the bunks look like something you'd serve on in a real military vessel. Cramped cabins, small beds, lousy food that somehow moves on its own, just like most of my family and friends describe their time in the Navy.
One day you could be called to fighter service, for a short battle, and for that, I'd choose the Rebellion, as I've always wanted one of those Helmets- OH YEAH! And for 6-10 thousand, I'd better damn well get my own custom made uniform and flight suit!
For the Uniforms, I prefer the Republic, also I want a Republic 'cover' (as this is 'military' terminology), I have a.....I think Rebellion, can't tell really between the Rebellion and Resistance, and have both Imperial Naval and Storm trooper uniforms covers. It seems like Disney is ignoring the other two trilogies, in terms of merchandise.
Anyways, the last day is the big battle, behind that turbo laser, either operating or giving orders, fighting, or with a boarding craft with (Republic, Separatist, Rebellion, Imperial) Marines and boarding the other ship to raid it.
I would have shilled 6-10 thousand dollars for that.....with a take home, custom made Uniform.....damn it.
*Disney beating the dead horse skeleton of Star Wars*
Star Wars Fans:"Stop! Stop! He's already dead!"
The Star Wars Hotel is a last ditch effort! Disney doesn't understand Star Wars!
As an avid gamer I can tell this is going to be an experience that is railroaded all to hell. Disney had better hope they don't get many actual LARPers or RPGers.
Also it probably a good thing that they priced me out of this because I'd be going full Tzeentch on this. Play all sides against each other and sow maximum chaos. Let the galaxy burn. Just as planned.
The Unthemed Coffee and Juice Dispensers as well as disposable cups and tea bags revealed the true length of Disney is creatively bankrupted. Now Twining Tea is going to require a Wookiepedia page
Thing is that people associate Star Wars with the fallen republic. It should be dirty, rugged, frontier, it's effectively a Space Western. Having a luxury cruiser in that universe is simply... unfamilliar.
......it's familiar: it was in The Last Jedi. That cruise scene before the animal liberation...............
Pedantic.
It certainly make you a target for pirates and brigands.
â@@theadmiral4625 Who is true, we also saw plenty of nice places on Naboo who looked like an nice place and on Coruscant in the prequels who was before the republic fell but it would still be nice places for people with money and connections.
So it makes you close to an war profiteer om this cruise :)
The irony is that in TLJ, that level of luxury was shown as being bad lmao
I completely agree with Geeky Sparkles about it being too much for introverts, and most families have at least one introvert that will be overwhelmed and not be able to participate fully... Either the family doesn't go at all because of it, or someone is going to be left hiding out alone in the room because everyone else has to follow the schedule or waste the money.
I love how Kneon makes these hilarious comments ("if you want a tentacle in the toilet that's an extra charge") and completely destroys Geeky Sparkles when she's trying to read đđ€Łđ
We need a compilation video called "Geeky Giggles."
Coming soon to a theme park in Japan
Would make the experience more realistic.
i'd say he's put his tentacle in her toilet but that's gross/crass and would bring the whole tone of not just the video, or the channel ,but all of youtube down, to say something so messed up.
One of the problems I have with it, aside from it being tied to the sequel trilogy and just looking not at all like Star Wars, is that everything about it looks plastic and cheap.
It looks like Disney's "Imagineers" went to the local dollar store, stocked up on anything and everything that remotely looked sci-fi-ish, slapped that on run-of-the-mill, stock corporate furniture bought in bulk at a warehouse clearance sale and said, "Good enough."
It just looks cheap. Everything about it screams, "Cheap!"
That's Cheapek though. Not the imagineers. They probably gave them a ridiculously small budget or continually cut the budget back is my guess.
I'm honestly surprised at how cheap it all is for the price they're asking.
I went on a vacation once that seemed just as out of this world as this Star Wars hotel, but without that cheap knockoff feel... Singapore. Having lived the last 20 years in the midwest, wandering around that city and all the strange and amazing food, I almost felt like I was on another planet. And the thing is, my ten days in Singapore probably cost me about the same as two days in this larping hotel.
It ultimately comes down to the price tag. It's just too expensive. Getting into the 6k price range opens up a LOT of alternative trips or experiences that give you much more or more over a longer period of time.
Exactly. An effective $3000/ day puts you into Disney or Four Seasons presidential suite territory. I'll take a real week long luxury vacation at that price.
For $6000 you should be able to go to actual space.
The biggest problem is the poor lighting. It's lit like a modern corporate office which makes everything look dull and lifeless
Comic Con looks amazi..oh wait that's Disneyland. Never mind đ
Yes, it's way too flat and bright. Lighting should be a tool to create atmosphere. Hell, they couldn't even light Gaia's set like a normal club singer.
A cruiser that costs $6000 over the Sequel trilogy is a HARD pass, thatâs quite a good way to throw valuable money out the window right there.
In american money that is already a high amount but just think of canadians such as myself who need to do the conversion? It's going to cost us at least 7000 plus to buy 6000 dollars?
You can't even do that. The windows aren't real.
If they changed it to original trilogy and cut the price by 40%, I would consider going. Otherwise, I'll spend 6k and go to Tunisia and tour the original trilogy sets and have enough left over to visit universal studios Orlando for a few days.
Short of like Antartica, for $6k you can pretty much go to anyplace on earth.
The Galactic Starcruiser hotel is for people that think Sci-Fi stuff is "cool" and barely know about the differences between the different Sci-Fi franchises.
But would those people prefer to be simply served and not led by the hand over this LARP-lite experience?
@@Bat-Twenty-Two Some of them might, while others probably won't.
We call those people "normies"
Whoever thought of the idea of a $6000 attraction like that and thought it was awesome is way out of their minds. People who have that kind of money need it for better things, and Disney knows it!
It's too expensive for mid class tourists and it's too dorky and cheap for the upper crust, who actually have a clue about what they get into and how to bank more wisely with their bucks. The only target I can think of for this crap is the spoiled rotten hipster annuitant, the kind proud to sip on 9$ starbucks latte just because they can, not because they're legit coffee connoisseurs.
Yea, this definitely seems like they were putting the cart before the horse - they wanted to make a $6,000 experience but somehow couldn't pull in the funding to _make_ it a $6,000 experience until after the guests paid the $6,000 per person.
Kathleen Karen Kennedy, is the so called genius behind it.
Maybe the executives mixed up the USD with the Ruble or the Yuan, I doubt they ever had to work for any of them
I can't fathom doing a "Star wars experience" without Luke Skywalker and Darth Vader.
I completely agree. I feel like the sequel trilogy messed up a lot of good development.
The fact that they're going for the new trilogy fans is more of a KK ego trip than a good business decision. If they were going to go strictly for a target audience with means, they would go for people who have built up a base of wealth and like it or not that generally means people who are older and who probably would be more interested in the original, Non-Disney Star Wars.
I remember an old rumor that Lucas still gets royalties on his characters and that's why disney was going on all new characters...
It wouldn't surprise me if it was an accounting decision as well: "Look, the Farce Awakens brought in 2 billion dollars more than the original trilogy combined! It's obvious what setting you should base this experience off of!"
This is not a mere KK ego trip. This is a Disney Studios ego trip.
So the only way Disney will back down from their fan fiction will be for this hotel to fail?
I mean if this thing bombs will there be any doubt that the sequels are not the "beloved masterpieces" K.K. claims they are
If this bombs this is all on her either this Bob or the old Bob have to take the heat for it.
The positive review I read in the NY Post was written by a "true fan" referring to a character as, "Hans Solo". No thanks
Related to Jake Skywalker and Merry Poppin Organa.

Battling Emperor Palestine and evil government operative Garth Nader!
From reviews I've seen so far is basically like, if you're not interested in following our strict itinerary where we push you to do something every 20-30 minutes, you'll be bored to tears. No TV's in the rooms, on your phone the whole time, as soon as you see someone in jeans and t-shirts, the immersion is over. I'd rather go to an all inclusive 5 star resort for a week in Mexico with a kids club for that 6k thank you.
There are tv in the rooms
There is no way in the world that I am paying 6k for that. This has to be the cringiest less star wars thing I have ever seen. These paid bloggers acting like it was great...please who are you kidding.
It took me a moment to put my finger on it but the food all looks like cafeteria food... And I realized it's those terrible square plastic trays they serve it all on. It drastically cheapens the look of everything. Additionally, the colors are absolutely unappetizing.
The problem is always going to be the price tag. I looked on one of the influencer's vids and it was full of people going ooooo and ahhhhh- but no one said, "I'm booking my trip right now!"
Great point about The Mandolorian. Meeting Baby Yoda would exponentially increase the interest in this.
Grogu, not Baby Yoda. And yes, that WOULD be cool.
I foresee Disney abandoning this or combining it with Galaxy's Edge for a very large discount which will most likely piss off people who bought it full price.
Dear Disney. Never praise what your own Cast members can never afford.
I agree with this.
They can afford it- I mean.....they'll have to give up things like, 'eating, shelter, cloths (in some cases that might make some of them 'more' money) and health care, but they can afford it.
As Gen-X, I want to see original trilogy or even prequel because they're created by Lucas. There was so much wrong about the Disney trilogy. They had the Star Wars universe designs okay, but the movie plots/storyline were horrible. Rogue One characters would have been a better bet than the Disney trilogy!!!!
As a Millennial, I second this motion.
And bring back Legends characters, like like I.S.B. agent, Isard.
As A Gen Xer I Agree As Well
Gen Yer here and I agree with ya.
As a Zilennial (born in 1996) I agree with you as well.
I was young when Return of the Jedi came out and never understood it.
Years later watched episodes 4,5 and 6. I later watched 1,2 and 3. The prequels kinda irked me but helped tie in the others.
Woke (Force) Awakens was a hard pill to swallow but hearing about episodes 8 and 9, I am glad that I missed those dumpster fires.
I would love to take my kids to the Disney 1996, that's when I went and it was great. Disney today is polarising and so blatantly greedy that if I'm gonna bring my kids to the USA it will be for universal studios.
I went to both a bit before everything shut down, and if I had to choose between the two, universal would win every time.
Disney was fun for a one time thing, but I was bored after 2 visits.
We had year passes to universal and went multiple times per year, multiple years in a row, and it was still fun.
I know what you mean. I wish my grandchildren could take the trip we had in 2000.
The interactions are coolâŠ. But thatâs about it.
Nothing warrants the $6,000 price tag.
In 2019, we paid less for 8 nights at AKL, full park hopping with water parks etc and our flights from the west coast!!
This is pure insanity, and yes Iâm an Xâer.
Youâre right too, if it was Mando related Iâd be ok with that.
Next year will be Universal
it would be cheaper to go on two cruises then stay there lol
I am hoping to go to Universal when the Nintendo park opens..
You wont get by that cheap now. Just paid $5000 for 6 nights at WL and that didnt include tickets.
@@mclark2288 I just paid 2k for five night for universal studios and that was for two people and it was the Harry Potter experience with extras
I should clarify that was hotel, food, and merch for 3 people. But still ridiculous.
Been avoiding actually giving any of them actual views, waiting for real customers' impressions. Thanks for sharing this so I don't have to promote them with views.
âYour choices matter.â Um, no they donât. Not when all roads lead to the sequel trilogy. And how many times have we heard that same thing said by developers of unfinished game releases in the video game space only to feel feel severely shorted and taken advantage of?
This is gonna be the Cyberpunk 2077 of theme parks bruh lmao
@@NukaCorgi yoooooooo đ€Ł It feels that way doesnât it? Iâm surprised all the cast members arenât stuck in the T-pose.
The price is just insane. For 6k I expect high-end 5-Star-luxury suites and my personal Jacuzzi in the bathroom ... not a tiny room I have to share with the kids.
You know? Having a picture of a Stormtrooper and Imperial Officer standing imposingly over a railing as your review's headliner seems rather fitting to me. Look they're saying "You better not give a negative review."
he left a 1 star review! quick, blast'em!
Beyond the price, I think there is a bigger problem with desiring "immersive" experiences. Disney would have to address the possibility of probability of unruly guests who don't conduct themselves well in this two-day window. This is all make-believe. The actors are sticking to definitive scripts, areas, and timelines. Interacting with guests is a risky proposition. Where is the line that guests cannot cross? Is the customer going to be right in a controlled entertainment environment? Will those paying the ridiculous $6K be signing waivers for any injuries?
How immersive is too immersive?
If there's a âYour choices matterâ aspect to this. Then there's a version where the First Order wins and Rey loses. That I would pay to see and I can see some trolls getting together to force that scenario to happen
Also I'm waiting for the first report of a Karen/Kevin to visiting there and getting a bit too emerged in the story. Hopefully with video evidence

Kevins are those people that are so dumb you don't know how they function, completely socially inept they hurt themselves talking, or decide to make the worst choice possible just to irritate you. Like the ones that think cats and dogs are the same animals. Female Kevins are just Kevins, Kevinas, or Keevas. The internet quite hasn't decided yet.
The Galactic Starcruiser looks more like something out of Guardians of the Galaxy. If it was that then there wouldn't be so much controversy. I also think Disney should have just made hotel rooms themed after Star Wars, charging reasonable prices. It's what Disneyland Tokyo did for Kingdom Hearts and it worked out great.
They could even do the rooms modeled after different planets in the Star Wars galaxy like Naboo, Courscant, and Tatooinee.
I did not know they did that with kingdom hearts, that's cool.
It looks like something out of Dr. Who or Star Trek. It looks a lot like the Star Trek movies.
Do we get someone dressed as Taserface there? if so the HELL YES TASERFACE!!!
Fun fact: Tokyo Disneyland is the only Disneyland not actually owned by Disney.
I'm just shocked at the utter incompetence of it all. Starwars is literally something that prints money and yet it's been such a horrific failure under Disney. The brands name is mud and almost nothing has a good reputation out of it since Disney has taken over.
And this hotel is like a shining gem in the crown of their incompetence. First things first. Wtf made them think inventing a galactic cruise ship from whole cloth and the retroactively inserting it into the lore was a good idea?
You know what would have been a really cool idea for a SW hotel? How about a Jedi Temple? Or the Sith Academy on Corriban? Because you know when you say SW most people picture Jedi and Sith! Not "luxurious" enough of a theme? Ok why not a Hutt Pleasure Palace then? Instantly recognizable, for stronger connection to Starwars and its lore, and the templets for them are all already there from various SW media!
But no, KK is still too proud to admit she fucking sucks at her job and that other people can do it much better.
They donât know about Star Wars, they donât care about it. They figured it was just IP to milk. They donât seem to be doing a good job of extracting value from Star Wars because these people arenât creative, they actively dislike the fans that kept Star Wars alive during the decades when it was on the ropes before the prequels, and they seem to be more concerned about some political message, than good storytelling. Star Wars, Star Trek, Stargate, for these corporate types it doesnât really matter, nigh as well be the same.
Even as an armature bar tender, that cocktail menu is fucking absurd. That âCall of the Huntressâ, unless theyâre using some top shelf bourbon, is way over priced and looks to be overly sweet. Also, $15-$16 for very basic drinks? Ffs Trader Vicâs costs $14 for their drinks, including their original Mai Tai, with the exception being their large shared drinks like The Scorpion Bowl. $6000 and you donât even get the bare minimum of a half decent drink menu, absurd.
I agree with the whole âsequel charactersâ argument! Why would a lifelong, die-hard Star Wars fan want to spend $6,000 to be around characters they have no attachment to and want nothing to do with?
Regardless of sound, they didn't even put vibrations or anything to make it feel like a like something is moving.
LOL, youngling menu might make worthwhile:
Skywalkers light saber kid-bobs.
Young Jedi Jambalaya.
Side Order sixty-six stake fries.
Anakin's mince meat pie; the menu write it self.
I wouldn't do this experience in it's current state. Too expensive for not-enough original-trilogy theming. This is what they SHOULD have made: Senario - You and your party are citizens of a small settlement near mos-isley. Storm troopers land in your town because you are suspected rebel spies. With prisoner-transport ships, they take you to the death star to interrogate everyone but there are so many they have to detain you for two days in the "hotel"). The rooms are then accommodating but themed to an imperial prison from which you have to escape with help from REAL star wars characters like Han and Luke. The ending would have the classic battle between obi-wan and vader, C-3PO and R2-D2 would be there, mouse droids running around, CLASSIC STORMTROOPER COSTUMES not the new episode 7 ones. Basically I want Disney to take Rise of the Resistance and turn that one ride into a two day experience themed to original trilogy.
If the targeted "whales" could easily afford such trips, they can and will likely go for more lavish and expensive experiences for their families.
I'd say $1.5K would be a good price for a week long experience. Or however much they charged for cruises before COVID.
There is an easy way to have added value to this that would have had fans talking. They should have allowed the passengers to be able to acquire (or even, for this price, be given for free) exclusive items that would be awesome. Depending on the paths they chose, they should be able to receive things like ultra rare kyber crystals like those black crystals. Or they should be given exclusive scrap metal pieces to make their savi's lightsabers that much more unique. Or if you choose first order, the passengers should be given rank insigina, that might encourage them to purchase First Order uniforms. Then, if yo go back and do the same path again, perhaps they could have a storyline where you can be promoted, and earn a higher rank. And for me, that legacy lightsaber that is exclusive for the starcruiser really should have been much more aesthetically pleasing. They should have designed it to be a highly coveted item; something that looks as awesome as a Count Dooku, a Mace Windu or a Leia lightsaber. But for me, that lightsaber is so bland and so boring, much like the rest of the starcruiser, that for me, it is ultimately forgettable.
At least give people rental costumes for free. Everyone dressed up would also increase the immersion.
I saw a story saying that you can buy gift cards that are only available on the Halcyon. Take my 6 grand please.
Rental costumes? For $5,000+, they can easily include some cheap Disney robes.
Disney - âGive customers a better experience? Thatâs crazy talk!â
That is way more effort than Disney will put into this cash grab
I am surprised that there is a lack of baby yoda in the review. Since that is the only type of Star Wars toy, besides Legos, that are in stores.
Grogu.
Day of Reckoning indeed. Press "F" to give respects to the imagineers getting fired without cause - it's not their fault.
"S," to spit on career.
S.
I would just say. Stay tuned. The Day of Reckoning will come. The Record will be straight. - Papa John 2019
I always feel bad for the imagineers. They design within the guidelines they are given. I'm sure those at the top decided to cheap out on things from what was probably originally planned for the Starcruiser and they are the ones who decided to set it within a certain timeperiod. It's like in Galaxy's Edge, one of the imagineers explained how they copied the droid tracks from the movies (like replicated from the actual droid including the droids from the original movies) and ran those throughout the land. I love details like that.
The food looks atrocious. They coloured them just for the sake of it. In what in universe reason is there to colour some of those foods. It just looks like they just added dye.
If you wanted green or blue milk. How about a smoothie instead of dying milk.
You can make a green tea/matcha or blueberry simple syrups to make milk tea or milkshake for green/blue milk. Itâll at least taste better and it naturally colored. Granted I can see how the blueberry wouldnât look the shade of blue we expect from blue milk. Heck making it an ice cream out of it would be interesting. This would mix up the menu. Throw in some colored boba, jellies or other toppings and call them something that fits in Star Wars lore.
Of note: The Mandalorian echoes classic Star Wars. That's why us GenXers would be okay with it. But quite frankly, I wouldn't be able to handle actors who aren't Mark, Harrison, or Carrie as Luke, Han and Leia. That's part of why those films are so important to me--the actors created amazing characters, and they were torn apart in the last trilogy.
I watched a couple vids this morning. I gotta admit it looks like a fun experience that I would love to do. BUT not for $4000-6000!!
Indeed, maybe $1000/night if you are NOT a Star Wars fan or are a child.
i'd do it if its 20 bucks per night or something....the fact its either high republic/sequel trilogy or both turns me off anyways...i'm a fan of star wars...not mickey mouse fanfiction written without a plan.
I would MAYBE pay a $20-30 per night upgrade to my Disney resort package for this experience. But thatâs the closest youâd get to convincing me to go lol
I had the opposite reaction - thought it looked terrible, even if it was reasonably priced - and I think that's the main problem for this hotel... I don't think the audience - i.e. people who love a full 2 day immersive expericenc - is that big. Personally I think this is the new Disney Quest - 12mths till it's repurposed.
Iâm concerned for you if you would pay any amount of money for this lol
To me this experience is way too Disney and not enough Star Wars. From the cheesy acting (no hate to the actors tho, Iâm sure they arenât being paid enough to give a shit about their performance lol) to the pristine plastic walls, it feels like corporate Disney at its finest.
I wonât lie though, there are some parts that I was impressed by. That one alien thatâs Gayaâs pianist is awesome. But not at all worth it. I could see that at comic con.
The best coverage I have seen is Dis Unplugged. They won't give opinions because it was free but they did a really in depth walk through of everything. So you can see yourself how cheap decor looks. That food looked awful. The crew was great though. PS, they need to get someone from HHN to do the crews makeup though, ughđđ
I'll always give credit to the hard working people on the frontlines at Disney parks. The cost-cutting, the bad decisions; none of that is their fault, and they definitely seem to be trying their hardest and I think that's commendable. Whenever someone does go to the parks, remember these are underpaid, overworked regular people; save the vitriol for the execs.
@ironwolf56 for sure. There are some front-line workers that have taken their frustration out on the guests and I have been one of their frequent targets when I used to be a passholder. However, the execs have a fat bonus while the CMs receive a barely livable wage.
"We and our kids eat big animals but not small animals" lol
Also, if your kids react like that to food. They are spoiled.
Depends⊠rabbit an hare are not cheap but a lot tastier the a regular steak! Dont forget about lamb (young sheep small animal) meat wich is freaking heaven!
@@maxvanbreemen I hear cat is yummy, but I'll never find out.
Cats dont taste good :P besides i have a grudge against eating cats and dogs, it doenst really fit western culture. But if youre saying this you prolly know im a proud cat dad!
@@maxvanbreemen I'm not speciest. I love all animals. So I don't eat any of them.
@@RevAnakin like i thought ^^ only a vega/vegan could make such a dumb remark ^^. Listen i dont judge youre food choices, but dont make dumb remarks like this one. You made the orginal post like a joke/parenting remark. I made a joke about small animels being tasty aswell, dont get offend you made a joke about eating big animals but not small ones. You made the first joke im just hooking in on it ^^.
I had thought that the exterior of the hotel would've actually LOOKED like the spaceship (at least on one side). It's fairly disappointing that it is just an ugly box building cleverly hidden from view.
The entrance is to a space port so maybe should have looked like space shuttle. You take the "elevator" to the actual space ship.
I agree that The Mandalorian would have made alot more sense than sequel trilogy.
Eating chicken broth with a fork makes more sense than the Disney sequel trilogy.
Even if I had the money I would not want to go the star cruiser, much less Disneyland/world
Same.
I am waiting for the lawsuit to happen. Some guest isn't going to want to engage with the actors. Because of this Disney will say that the guest is problematic, breaking immersion for everyone else, and will ask the guest to leave before the experience has ended. The guest will get pissed for for being scammed out of their money, and they will sue.
Iâm with Geeky, Iâm more introverted too and I hate the idea of going on a vacation and having to participate in a list of things and talk to people and play make believe. I can see that getting old after an hour. One other thing, why does the Rainforest Cafe look more immersive than this? Thatâs what the dining room should feel like, it should be packed with alien animatronics and sounds, you shouldnât feel like youâre the only ones there
Tin Foil Hat: Disney knew WW3 was coming and that this will become the closest anyone will be able to get to having a real cruise for the next few years as well as knowing inflation would actually make the price "reasonable" when the value of the dollar gets cut in half or worse.
I am still so freaking mad that they didn't do this in a cruise ship. Had they made one of their ships set up for this "starship" and carted ppl on a cruise, _that_ would have made more sense with the sticker price. But NUUUUU! MOAR HOTELS! đ
Even a cruise in a great cabin on a wonderful ship doesnât cost $6000.00 for a week, this for 11/2 days is just ridiculous!!
To be honest, I feel people who are introverted shouldnât be going to a Larping experience though. Iâm fairly introverted and shy, and unless Iâm with really close friends/family I wouldnât go. Iâd maybe watch someoneâs recording of the experience and enjoy it. But I wouldnât go to something like that.
âI HAVE A SOLUTION, YOU CAN BOOK THE ENTIRE STARCRUISER FOR YOURSELF. THIS IS THE SUPER DELUX REY PACKAGE. IT ONLY COSTS $80,000.â Disney exec. đ
Yeah like if Iâm on vacation I would like to do my own thing haha. I donât want an itinerary telling me what do at what time.
I'm inclined to agree - and that is coming from someone who absolutely loves star wars, but has debilitating social anxiety. No point spending that amount of money if you're going to be miserable đ€Ł
In another video someone commented that it looked like a painted over motel 6, and under that someone commented that they would have hookers too. So I followed up with a comment saying yes but they'll be in costume so that makes them an actress working for tips, but that'll also be a premium and the selected species of your choice. More than likely somebody will pick a Twilek
I'd rather spend 8 days cruising the Mediterranean, see Barcelona, Rome, Athens, etc for half the price than 2 days of this.
I will be interested to see reviews from people who have had to pay for the experience. I appreciate the preview videos, but expectations and conclusions definitely shift when real money is involved. It's sad that many of the "activities" and character interactions on board this exclusive ship were originally designed and planned for guests at Galaxy's Edge. At GE everyone could enjoy, but now only a very select few families could be a part of what was supposed to be part of your park entrance fee to Hollywood Studios. To me, the interior looks like Seth McFarlane's TV show "The Orville". I find it interesting that some have pointed out how "generic" this storyline and experience can be. As a life-long SW fan, I can honestly say that this is NOT SW at all. I hate to sound so negative, but it is unfortunate that Disney thinks this is the future. Again, Disney has lost its cutting-edge vision for attractions and has just recreated a very expensive dinner party. Why is this such a female-dominated experience? It seems like it is Disney's continued effort to remove masculinity from their messaging. There is no greater supporter of female empowerment than I am, but this seems off-putting. The messaging in both the experience and even the music is all about inclusivity (We are One Galaxy), yet this experience is designed to exclude 99% of the average population. Very sad!!!!
At 1 billion dollars, someone was obviously skimming off of Galaxy's Edge Construction!
Bruh itâs corporate greed. Youâre looking too much into it. Take a break from the internet
Modern feminism
If you're feeling particularly masochistic and wanted to see what a dystopian Star Wars looks like, then this would be a great opportunity
You mentioned that the Galactic Starcruiser looks like Star Trek. Then, on the article you're reading it shows a picture of "Galactic Starcruiser" engraved into a wall. They used a font that looks very close to the font used in Star Trek: The Motion Picture from 1979. Rotflolcopters go woosh woosh woosh.
Well, if it starts looking more used and grungy in a month or two, might actually start looking like the original trilogy.
12:30 It's exciting until you move, and it becomes blatantly obvious that it's a screen mounted in the wall. Not a window to the 'outside' (OK, just a screen further away, but at least you'd get some an illusion of parallax).
The dining room looks SO CHEAP. Aluminum tables and chairs you'd have at a middle school cafeteria. And the floor looks like linoleum. Easy to clean I guess.
I read this in another video's comments, someone said it didn't look relaxing and they didn't want to spend all day playing stupid games with strangers. Have to agree with that, it's basically a Disney cruise on land with stormtroopers instead of Mickey.
If Disney found a way to include every time period and the price was lower I would be interested. As thing's are right now this experience cost's way, way too much. Also, my three kids did not enjoy the sequel trilogy and have no interest in this experience. I'm not going to drag them there when it's focused on my least favorite time period.
I gotta be honest, I actually really like the design of the ship. Star Trek: The Motion Picture is one of my favorite movies though haha
Based on the images of the "hotel", it looks like patrons get to walk on the decks of Babylon 5 while waiting to board the Enterprise to go wage war with the Cylons.
"This is a Reylo larping experience."
Dear God what a waste of money. XD
'The Halcyon isn't a safehaven for scoundrels!'.........wait, you mean like....Han Solo?đ€
I just don't get why this is at Disney World. They could have had this somewhere else as a huge draw for a new Disney experience and added much of the food and activities to a new part of galaxies edge. This 2 night stay could work really well in a colder climate.
I hear you, Geeky. My social battery depletes abruptly in direct proportion to the number of people around. I can't do conventions any more and forget theme parks.
When I first saw "Star Wars Hotel" in CZcams headlines, I thought it was a new series for Disney+.
Looking forward for the re-theming of this hotel to "The Black Hole Experience"-a once in a lifetime chance to travel in the USS Palomino, restored to its former gloryđ€Łđ€Łđ€Łđ€Łđ€Łđ€Łđ€Ł
The rocket tube transport alone would be worth it.
Sign me up for that!
'you're just mad you didn't get the OT!'
why shouldn't we get the OT? it's the only SW that can stand on its own merits. even the prequels can't say that. the sequels are so full of member berries that to dunk on the OT is hilariously clueless.
loving the sequels above the OT is saying you're not a *real* SW fan without saying it. then they'll call fans gate-keepers, but what it really is is robbing them of their, for lack of a better term, stolen valor. 'this is *my* 'star wars'!' only because you're impressionable while it came out, there is no other reason, so you'll latch some kind of 'ownership' to that. but, given that the new stuff depends so heavily on the originals, taking their characters and situations, and even copying the originals, they don't really have much argument against the people who want the OT. they know they'll have a better time with the OT, too, and that's got to be irksome knowing 'their' SW is terrible.
even most OT fans will admit this whole franchise is held together by 'the empire strikes back' above all others.
I got up today and went to GameStop to get a game that I had pre-ordered only to find out that it had been pushed back another two months I thought my day was ruined but neon and geeky saved it.
The point about introverts is an excellent one. And you have to consider how this price compares - not only to the Disney Cruise - but to the price versus VR headets, games, and even a home theater. Part of what makes a public attraction work is for people not only to come - but to come back again and again. This factor is what keeps the entertainment market afloat. If you don't pull that off, how long does your product maintain customers? The answer is obvious - not long.
