Star Wars: Galactic Starcruiser

[shiekra38]

I can see this concept doing decent for two, maybe three years. Then, once most of the super fan base that is willing to spend that kind of money is dissipated over time, it's going to be a tough sell. But I also think the same thing will happen with the light saber show after two or three years.

I mean, the hotel basically exists for YouTube vloggers...

It's a novelty concept that may do well, and may be terrible

yes to a large degree....but the blogger ranks are not finate, though they seem to be when something new opens....Seriously though, I can see the hard core SW fans show up for the first couple years, but that pool will be diminished as time goes on. One visit a lifetime will probably be it for most.............Back to non serious: But the 30 plus year old bloggers living in their parent's basement, not having to pay bills for anything, might be able to save up enough allowance to make it two or three trips.

Is this build for hard core SW fans?
I think this is build for rich casual Disney fans who are bored and want something different.

I feel like hard core SW fans have no interest in Galaxy's Edge period.

Disney's version of Star Wars is synonymous with disappointment to some degree

This is hotel is slightly niche experiment for Disney people

I mean, worst case scenario the hotel just closes haha

Was there ever any site plans for this leaked?



I wonder what the parking situation will be. Looks like it could be vary only to maintain the illusion.

 

[Mad Dog]

I'd guess they'd want to keep any parking and look as far away as possible, so perhaps parking away from the hotel. GESWL isn't exactly very good looking from the back, with those popsicle stick mountain look from behind. Not very immersive.

Wonder if it comes with a costume or just a nametag?

 

[Nick]

I wonder if this experience will relate at all to Keiran Halcyon, potentially a namesake of the ship. Reading the wookiepedia page, I wouldn't be surprised:

Keiran Halcyon

Keiran Halcyon was a Human male Corellian Jedi Knight serving the Jedi Order and the Galactic Republic roughly four hundred years before the rise of the Galactic Empire and the start of the Great Jedi Purge. Discovered to be Force-sensitive and inducted into the academy of the Jedi Order, Keiran...

Interesting point? Too soon?

It's a perfectly valid point.

Interesting point? Too soon?

There's too much money to be made off of what is essentially a warehouse hotel. It's an extremely cheap build, inside theming aside. Reflections also won't see anything like that either (I doubt) bc it's DVC.

 

[Yabbadabba Doh]

It's a perfectly valid point.

Yep. They will stop/delay most of this capital work for a while. The oncoming recession will see to that.

AJ is about half a point above Corless for me. Her articles remind me of what Matt Dullahunty calls a "deepity," where "to the extent it's relevant, it's false, abd to the extent it's true, it's irrelevant."
