No one cares about hashtags on a forum... but we do care about links to further reading.

I know I could search for it... but I would hope instead of working up so many hashtags, you'd actually supply USEFUL elements that you already had.

I wonder what the 'blade' is composed of to coil yet have rigidity.

Yeah, one swipe and this is expensive space junk. Not for kids big or small I think

Be interesting if this is a commercial product (a la savi's sabers or potter wands) or simply for cast 'shows' and the starcruiser experience.

I believe it will least through more than one swipe, but, if it too well constructed and lasts that will impact sales volume.

That blade furls and unfurls like a metal blind slat. No way it can be strong enough to withstand any blow and still function

Possibly like the potter wands it's only meant for some level of environmental interactivity (either only on starcruiser or that + GE) rather than whacking at other blades and such.

Oh I see applications for CM's acting out scenes, cosplay etc. but definitely not to be actually practicing any kind of contact combative.

There's this framework extension here that seems to be both recent and appropriately shuttle sized. It also connects with the road that will likely lead to the hotel. It's by the First Order shop:

More importantly, it differs from Disneyland's version:
View attachment 392160

Yep added the covering and notice the thick yellow stripe.

Since this definitely seems to be the location for the shuttle, I think they might involve Kylo's shuttle in this. We will be in the heart of the First Order section of the outpost. Perhaps we are intercepted by Kylo on the way to Batuu and are escorted down. We could see his ship landing before ours, then when we disembark, there it is to our right.

This might’ve been asked before and if so I apologize.....

will this property have shuttles to the other parks? I can’t seem to see where that would be possible.

That seems very unlikely as this is supposed to be a self-contained adventure. Hollywood Studios is the lone exception as it'll be weaved into the story guests experience at the hotel. It's probably better to think of the Star Wars Hotel as a multi-night murder mystery party than a traditional hotel.

Once you are "on board" you are there for the duration other than the excursion to Batuu. People have to starting thinking "Space cruise" - On a real cruise you don't just get off and go someplace else - you do your 5,7,10 day cruise. Same here - it's a 2 day cruise in space.

You are not supposed to go the the other parks. You are not supposed to get out of the hotel building at all because it's a space ship in space. Outside, there's nothing but soul-sucking darkness.
