Everyone as they walk on board:Why are the guests running things on the bridge? Shouldn’t there be a trained crew for that?
DOES THE ENTIRE CREW DIE AND WE HAVE TO PILOT THE SHIP?!?!

Everyone as they walk on board:
"I'm leaving!"This is going to be the Brig... I guarantee it.
They should turn the Bridge into Blips and Chitz.
Can I afford the ridiculous price: Yes....Am I a Star Wars fan from the birth of the franchise: Yes....Do I have any interest in booking this: No
Since it's going to be mostly supreme diehard fans, I wonder how many people would have breakdowns if I booked a room full of people all acting and dressing like we're in Star Trek and we're more worried about the Klingons than the Empire.
I would kill to see this. Call the Storm Troopers the Borg and keep asking when Q is going to show up.Since it's going to be mostly supreme diehard fans, I wonder how many people would have breakdowns if I booked a room full of people all acting and dressing like we're in Star Trek and we're more worried about the Klingons than the Empire.
But man, someone has to be sweating about the potential demand for the hotel, especially at the price point it's at.
My wife is a huge Star Wars fan, and when word broke that a "Star Wars Hotel" was coming, she unequivocally said, "we're going."Moving from Land thread to avoid thread drift ...
I think the biggest problem is getting across just WHAT this is--call it "The IoA Effect". Even fairly knowledgeable theme park fans here and on Twitter see this as "just a hotel"--and at that price point, the price for a room for the night is absolutely insane. But I don't know how you show potential customers the extent of an all-inclusive 2-day LARPing experience in a 30-second ad or an Instagram post.
This hotel only is going to have like 100 rooms. This place isn't gonna be that expensive to build and at the prices they're charging, I find it hard to believe they won't be printing money, even at a lower-than-they-would-like occupancy.My wife is a huge Star Wars fan, and when word broke that a "Star Wars Hotel" was coming, she unequivocally said, "we're going."
But... The more she hears about it, the less inclined she's becoming to actually go. As she says it: "I don't want a cruise. I just a hotel themed to Star Wars." She doesn't want the LARPing or the scheduling. She wants a week-long vacation with room service, TV, an eat-whenever restaurant, and the freedom to just go where she wants when she wants. A locked in, 3-day, 2-day experience is actually turning her off.

Which, ironically, any success/failure of this would be huge boon to a potential "Leaky Cauldron" or other HP hotel is because, canonically, they're JUST hotels.I agree with your wife.
I want a Star Wars Hotel (and Nintendo / Wizarding World ones) but I want it to just be a themed hotel that feels like I'm in that world. I'm not looking to be in what they are building.
It feels like forced fun (no pun intended!)
I think I'm opposite of you on all of these lol..Can I afford the ridiculous price: Yes....Am I a Star Wars fan from the birth of the franchise: Yes....Do I have any interest in booking this: No
