News Star Wars Galactic Starcruiser coming to Walt Disney World 2021

They should get the Mandalorian, Grogu, Asoka, and Boba Fett on the Starcruiser for opening day.

Maybe they can wave from the roof of the portico

And Togrutan lifespans are roughly equivalent to humans. 75-95 years of old age.

Ahsoka was born in 36 BBY (Before Battle of Yavin...aka Star Wars ANH), making her about 45 at the time of The Mandalorian (9 ABY - After Battle of Yavin)....and roughly 71 at the time of Rise of Skywalker (35 ABY).

The fact that she's still voiced by Ashley Eckstein in TROS plays into the fact that as a Force Ghost, she can maintain her youthful persona, thanks to George Lucas replacing Sebastian Shaw with Hayden Christensen in one of his needless Return of the Jedi edits.

That disjointed edit was so stupid.
And good account, so if she's not dead.. she would be 71...
Can you imagine if she looked as old as Count Dooku?

Nah, make them suffer.. put them in the "priso..". I mean.. the "beautiful luxurious garden" of the cruiser.

I think you mean the smokers’ lounge

 

[Tha Realest]

In my experience Disney has been over-hyping and under-delivering for years...decades really.
Except when Expedition Everest debuted with all effects running , I felt like that did live up to the hype...
ROTR they have not shown too much, but is definitely a wonderful surprise... Most of the rest I felt they over-hyped and under-delivered...

Keep in mind they are among the best at marketing. If *this* is the best of what they’re able to pull together given the developed product…

And you haven't been following the thread.

July - September has never been really filled yet.

March through June has, at times, been mostly filled.

When the 90-day pay-in-full deadline first hit the beginning of March, then there were indeed a lot of openings popping up, as people backed out of their down-payment reservations. (The 90 day mark is now up to Mar 22, and people are most likely getting emails about their impending pay-in-full dates two weeks ahead of time.)

And so, from March through June, there are 61 cruise dates. Before the 90 day deadline hit, there were about 5 unfilled dates. (Keep in mind it only takes one room unreserved for the date to be open.) But once the 90 day deadline hit, the openings have been all over the place: 12, then 7, then 15, then 10, then 21, and now... 18.

This represents 6,100 room reservations. And there are at least 18 rooms available, maybe a handful more.

Yes, July - September has always had hardly any full dates, but we don't know how partially filled they are -- whether 5% filled or 95% filled -- we just don't know.

20% of the deposit was non-refundable. So it’s not just cancellations- a bunch of people made the decision that forgoing ~$1,000 as a sunk cost was preferable to just sucking it up and sticking with their plans.

Are they really? I don't know and maybe all the cost cutting then the pandemic shed the minds that made it happen leaving us with what we see now?

If you keep bringing facts to the conversation how are we to bash with abandon?

There was a time "they" were among the best at marketing. Current results reflect a steep deterioration of capability and talent.

It's still not a good look that people are cancelling. It may not have to do with the video but explain to me why Disney decided not to put the promotional video air during the Christmas parade like was promoted?

Disney has already blasted themselves in the foot with the handling of this project. It is a good idea to stop pulling the trigger, put the blaster down, review what is being done, take a breath and maybe take a different approach before picking up the blaster again.

 

[ChrisFL]

Even if the Starcruiser is what we think it is....the marketing team is doing the worst job at it. You can make the experience look waaay better just with a marketing team that knows what they're doing.

I don't know. Maybe it was more of the same promotional video and they pulled it so as not to give any more red meat to the toxic fanbase.

For $6k, I'd be pretty toxic too.

Almost all the negativity is from people who *didn't* put a down payment on a cruise nor paid in full.

Lipstick on a pig at this point. Disney's internal tests did not go well for the hotel... they know they have a problem, and they'll be looking for a fix within a year.

So it's going to be a regular old hotel when? Or will it turn into the world's worst offices?

(Poor theme park podcaster/blogger community, their credibility is absolutely shot on this one.)
