" It's cute, but nowhere near worth the asking price."
Assuming that becomes the consensus, affecting bookingis, does Disney lower the asking price? or Does Disney improve the experience to make it worth the price?

I guess Disney could try to use marketing to attempt to make guests think current experience is worth current price.

This morning was the end of a test voyage. Apparently the fire alarm was pulled and people were "evacuated" to Earth, standing outside around 9am. As far as the review of the voyage, " It's cute, but nowhere near worth the asking price."

New footage just released of Ann Morrow and Kathleen Kennedy working on “Improvement’s”.

The Ewok movies are actually coherent, though.

The Holiday Special is little more than a fever dream presumably fueled by a myriad of illicit substances.

Among its oddities:
Harvey Korman in drag as a four-armed alien tv chef.

Chewbacca's father-in-law watching virtual reality adult entertainment of Diahann Carroll....

given to him by Art Carney of all people.

While grandpa is getting his groove on, Harvey Korman makes another appearance as a holographic computer tech who teaches Chewbacca's son ("Lumpy") how to build his own computer.

The only "good" portion of the Holiday Special is the first appearance of Boba Fett in a short produced by Nelvana,

but even then the animation is so janky that all of the Non-Boba characters are rather unsettling.

Chewbacca is obviously a Yorkshire Terrier, and Han looks like what you'd get if Jessica Biel decided to have John Travolta's baby.

We find out that at some point, a new owner took over the Mos Eisley Cantina: Bea Arthur.
The Empire decides to shut the cantina down, so she breaks out into a song number about how "It's not the end, friend".

And to her credit, she actually seems to be having a good time with all the insanity going on around her, so good for her.
RIP Bea, you were always a trooper.

(side note: would be hilarious if we discovered that the "Rey who?" woman was actually this character)

She also pours a last drink for....wait for it....

HARVEY KORMAN AGAIN. (obviously someone in charge of this mess was a massive Harvey Korman fan)

This time, he plays another alien, who "drinks" alcohol by pouring it directly into a crater atop his skull.
(I'm fairly certain this is meant to be a metaphor for how this special was created)

Anyway, there are a few variety show type numbers, including Jefferson Starship.

And it culminates with Chewbacca and the other Wookiees joining a cult.

Then posing for a Queen album cover.

And just when you thought things couldn't get any stranger, pre-rehab Carrie Fisher sings the Life Day Anthem.
Which is set to the tune of John Williams' Star Wars - Main Title.


While Harrison Ford looks longingly at the check someone is holding just off camera, and Mark Hamill blankly stares at nothing, wondering if his career is already over.

In that shot.. Han solo looks like Mike Jagger.
"Han solo visiting Walt Disney World decades ago with the halcyon.. inspired Mick Jagger to sign for RR Coaster"

I received a Disney Card Member mailing just the other day.
The biggest story in this couple of page color brochure if you will was about the Star Cruiser.
What I found interesting was nearly the entire emphasis in this mailing was about character interaction.
There was essentially no mention about any of the ship itself being amazing.
That doesn't mean that it isn't amazing, but the omission of them describing anything about the vessel itself as being noteworthy was odd.

Also hear that about Mickey Bars on this forum and probably throughout the park if you ask people. This is the criticism about everything and anything Walt Disney World. :/
Yep a $6 Mickey bar and $6000 experience are very similar, lol

It's funny, even on some Facebook groups that were previously excited about this thing, the tide is turning. It's to the point where the mods are turning off comments regarding info such as the Han and Leia sexytime star suite and trying to convince people that the hallways of the ship will look like what was seen in the artist's concepts and not what we saw on videos. This has the potential to be such a colossal failure. I can't wait to see the Defunctland video on it next year!
