I thought they would slash prices, not close it outright.

And people dare to say the Star Wars franchise isn’t alive and well?

Trying new things is great, but the implementation displayed an audacious lack of perspective.
Had they built a Star Wars Hotel such that it was actually connected to/built into Galaxy's Edge they could have kept a lot of the story and LARPing features but also made some of it somewhat more available to the general public - and it would have been instantly more appealing to a larger audience.
Oh, and don't lock the timeline into the sequel trilogy. Jesus.

If Disney were smart they'd turn the site into an interactive theater deploying from Batuu for a few hours, some on hands activities/a meal and back again.
But who says Disney ever makes the best use of their existing resources?
You'd better believe it. They'd be foolish not to reskin it as a DVC.

It's a shame they destroyed the Harmonious barges.
They could have parked them at the Starcruiser and opened the whole area for $$$ tours of 'things we thought were a good idea at the time'.
Be a bit like the Neon Graveyard in Vegas.

As a big fan, I am incredibly bummed I never even have a chance of doing it for a cheaper price. It was everything I could have wanted to do within the parks, but the price always crushed me. I know the chances are slim, with the shortcomings of a usual hotel (windows, pool, etc) but man, really hope it can be salvaged in any way as some form of hotel.

What an absolute joke.
But excited for Defunctland to cover!

It was an experiment in a high priced experience that did not work beyond the initial superfans and bloggers. It was doomed as soon as the pricing was revealed at $5000+. A huge number of potential guests at that point just switched off to the project.
It seemed obvious then, and even more so now, but what should have been built was an actual Star Wars hotel, at a price point consistent with other deluxe accommodations at WDW.

They're definitely blaming DeSantis.
Politicians come and go and Disney will outlast any in Florida.
