Right…that’s notoriously bad and a red herring
So what was so good? Not like Disney can sue you for devolving secrets

At least this is an reasonable appropriation of an activity on board. Not at all important other than to give you time to interact with the Saja and spread people out, but still part of the experience.
Missing some of the shield stuff though. Those things were cool as hell, though too expensive for me to try to bring home.

Are you going to pretend you don't know what red herring means in the context of a persuasive argument?Right…that’s notoriously bad and a red herring

That video was from a test cruise, so not what we experienced. And we also have discussed many times that it's supposed to be a loud, goofy distraction from other things that are going on in the same room.
The other marketing video also has nothing to do with the experience on board.

Yeah…I’d like to see that other stuff. Or don’t you want me to book?

Seems like you're searching for any evidence you can find to suit your argument. At least that's what I'm suspecting based on the words I've seen in this thread. Two different approaches

Reportedly there are hundreds of thousands of videos you can watch about the whole thing. Someone in here might be able to link them for you.Yeah…I’d like to see that other stuff. Or don’t you want me to book?
But honestly I wish you and more others could have gone to this thing and check it out. Even with your long-standing beef with the ST, there were some cool things anybody could enjoy. Including a Rodian (costume) that looks far better than what they used to film Greedo. And she legitimately speaks Huttese with guests if they are that far down the rabbit hole. Spoke, I should say.

Well I could have gone…
But wasn’t compelled to at all. And that’s the mystery at least to me…
Digital and physical puppetry was tested for Galaxy's Edge before budget cuts just became a recorded voice for Yoda at Savi's Workshop.

Add this to the pile of “cool things that would’ve made SWGE GREAT but they locked behind the Starcruiser paywall instead”

Anyone do the Star Wars thing at the void?
It was honestly a hoot…and great with kids.
I thought they missed out on some kinda open ended version of that?

And that is at the heart of this whole thing. Why do I want to go? I get why some are saying "But you really needed to experience it!" But for 6 grand? That's not take a flyer on it money. I've watched TONS of videos on it, and nothing that I've seen says I gotta do this. Do I know for sure it's a lame fest because of some videos on YouTube? No. But when Disneys very own marketing makes it look cringe, why would you drop that much on it? Because some people said, "no trust me it's really great!"? Not for that cost.
I'm not taking away anything from anyone who legitimately had a great experience. That's great, more power to you. The people who thought it was worthless will never convince the people who loved it that it was terrible. Just like the supporters will never convince the others that it was fantastic. And with the crazy point of entry, very, VERY, few who looked at it sideways would ever give it a go.

I do know people who went and had a great time. They didn’t pay, and they went as a group that would probably have a good time anywhere. But a couple of them are huge Star Wars fans and they did love the experience.
For me personally - I would have gone if I knew others I could go with. I’m a big enough Disney fan that I would have loved to see what they did. But it’s not the type of experience I would do myself, so there’s that.

I certainly believe that had I done this experience, that I would have enjoyed it.
I certainly would have enjoyed it, had it hypothetically existed 10 or more years ago when my sons were younger - really into Star Wars and we could have done it then.
But that doesn't mean that I don't see some clear issues with Star Cruiser even without embarking on it.

Classic company store tactic to keep you under their thumb.
When they only pay you in outdated Disney Dollars and they decide the cost are going up by a premium of an extra 10% for everything bought with those Disney Dollars, you'll never get ahead.
Should have demanded fish, instead.

For those that have taken the cruise, what specifically is inaccurate in this video and what would have been different had we been there vs. what is shown here for us to judge the experience?
Or can I just judge what I'm seeing? Please tell me what I'm specifically missing.

Am I able to actually just judge what I am seeing? Apparently, the experience is significantly better than any of these countless videos show and we just aren't really seeing the full experience.
I particularly like at 5:14 when the "captain comes to visit". Hard to imagine why this closed in a year.

Got to be honest, this makes it look quite enjoyable to me.
Price would still be a prohibitive barrier, and had it taken place within the timeline of the original trilogy it would look that much better.
