News Star Wars Galactic Starcruiser coming to Walt Disney World 2021

They've got the courtyard story covered lolView attachment 605649

That area looks pretty small (assuming that's the area pointed out by Bioreconstruct). Will it be full of smokers? That would be worse than being trapped inside the "cruiser".

"Death stickers"

It may be good, it may be bad, but Disney is trying to create a story in regards to the starcruiser experience that ties into the greater Star Wars world. What story is there that Admiral Ackbar, a rebel/resistance pilot, would be aboard a cruise ship and introduce the captain? What story is there that someone we met before would be the captain of a cruise ship?

Again, not trying to say if the current story is good/bad, or that even going with a story at all is the right call at all. But with that being the direction of this experience, you need to make the story fit.

Well, Merrill Stubing was a lowly Mid-Shipman in Operation Petticoat. Of course, he went on to become captain of the Love Boat....

This might be the greatest screw up of all time for Disney. That hype video was a complete disaster.
I've never gone from complete excitement for a Disney concept to a total letdown. No way I spend money on that concept until fan reviews come out.

Hopefully Disney wasn't showing off the main highlights because what has been shown looks bad.

Amazing that the hype train for this is derailing at at an alarming rate. This is the fandom that buys $20 action figures regularly, preorders plastic vehicles for over $300, assembles their own costumes with expensive materials and seems to have unlimited funds for whatever insane merchandise and experience it releases.

And yet, Disney seems to be letting them down. Perhaps they think the fandom is dumb and will just continue to pay regardless.

After watching the hype video, I agree with you. Disney doesn't care or understand the fans that made Star Wars. Those are the fans that have 5000-7000.00 to blow now that they are in their late 40's-50's.

Even Galaxy Edge is a bit of a letdown without the original characters not allowed on campus.
Why didn't Disney just build the themed restaurant for Galaxy's edge instead of going all in on a concept that is screaming disaster at this moment.
Again, could change, maybe Disney showed fans the worst parts of the experience and is saving the best on arrival.

So uh... about pulling the hyperspace lever... Can we use it to slam into a First Order star destroyer?

Aaah, the Holdo suicidal manoeuvre?

 

[Cesar R M]

I'm calling it now. A guest will be dressed as a Vulcan in a enterprise uniform. Someone did that at galaxy edge when it first opened.

Wasn't the person kicked and banned ? XD

 

[Cesar R M]

... take me with you.

How do we line up? I can be the photographer your Ruby Rhod. Being supergreen while I record for posterity.

Someone needs to tell this guy, "IT'S NOT A HOTEL!".
Seriously, this is the kind of hype I expected from the vloggers: Over the top with very little criticism - He didn't think the cabins were big enough and he didn't get to see the extending light saber. Other than that, it was FANTASTIC!

But it is a hotel....lol you can make it as LARPY as you want but its priced and set up like cruise...yet the square footage you can actually explore is likely smaller than a large cruise ship lobby. People are paying to spend 2 nights here and its not on the ocean. Its going to be perceived as a hotel over and over again. Sure you can say its so much more than that but it would be in vain.

 

[matt9112]

Cancelled our booking after much consideration. Looks terrible. Major fan with cash to burn but I just can't at this point.

"Those," not those of "us." LOL
Unfortunately, I'm out!

If you dont want disney to have your money i have a place for you! My bank account...haha

I kid i kid i had to...

Were they kicked for wearing an adult costume in the park?

 

[CinematicFusion]

In a few years after TWDC determines the Galactic Starcruiser its not "making enough" money, it will make a nice DVC resort

Might only take 6-12 months, most fans view it as a joke now.

Honestly just feel bad for Sean Giambrone and the lady playing the captain. Sean had probably 12 hours of having to look interested and should but won’t get an Emmy for that. The poor Captain probably felt like she won the lotto booking that gig only to be panned across the internet as a Lord Farquaad look-a-like in Allison Janney drag.

Who is the target market for this Star Cruiser? It looks like Disney tried to create a generic sci-fi hybrid of battlestar galactica, 5th element, Mass Effect, Star Trek and a little Star Wars to appeal to the broadest market available.

Disney obviously isn’t marketing or
Making this for those who grew up with the original trilogy.

Thank you for speaking on behalf of millions of fans.

If they could manage to develop working sleep pods from 5th element for the flight down, I'd be game.....
I want to see Ewoks though so doubt they're targeting me lol
Is it safe to say we won't see Stormtroopers since they'll miss launches?

I’m not speaking for them, I’m just agreeing with them based on the preview Disney took down. Apparently Disney thought it looked terrible or people were cancelling their reservations so they pulled the video.

I’m sure once people experience the star cruiser the reviews will be positive and Disney was just focusing on the weaker moments to hide the incredible stuff. Keep the surprises.
