News Star Wars Galactic Starcruiser coming to Walt Disney World 2021

[ChrisFL]

This might be worthy of a separate thread, but at this point I'm not even sure what I would put in a 2 day Star Wars experience to be worth this price....at least nothing in the sequel trilogy era.

 

[WDWJoeG]

Yup, and that choice will come down to ONE kid on the ship. They sure wouldn't have Chrwir do the same small scene with 20 people.

So I guess Ollivander's Wand Shop is immersive, cosplay, and LARP'ing - who knew? I thought it was just a cute little kid interaction.

Hate to imagine how they would describe the Jedi Academy. It's LARP'ing! It's role playing! It's immersive cosplay! You battle villains to the death! Who will survive?! Control your destiny! Follow the Jedi or betray them and join the Sith!!!

The first 20 seconds has the b-roll of people in the cruiser.

As the nuclear annihilation of humanity approaches as WWIII begins this weekend, I want my last words to be: "How could that blogger ignore how awful those shiny buttons are? They aren't even canon!"

This is dark comedy at its darkest - I need to be able to add two or more different emotes in my "like" on this one.

In order to *not* buy a wand, you have to make a saving roll on your Will score v. the shop keeper's Charisma.

man... someone find the original art of the dining room... this looks barren compared to that.

so much disappointment in such little information. This is not your daddy's disney.

This one from a few years ago?

Or this one from 2021?

Versus the reality of staged publicity shots from late February, 2022...

I believe that character is meant to be Togruta (like Ahsoka Tano), not Twi'lek (like Bib Fortuna or the dancer in Jabba's palace).

Yes but as mentioned before, it looks like a helmet. not like Ahsoka's or any other Togruta XD

 

[TP2000]

The "lobby" has also, um, evolved over just the past few years since they announced this at D23 Expo 2019..

From this...

To this...

To this publicity shot from February, 2022...

 

[Cesar R M]

And it worked

for the mommy bloggers? sure.. they got craploads of free stuff for almost no returns.

They seem to be the same design wise.
The pillars, the circles and position match.
Just a much closer and narrower shot.

But yes, looks like a downgrade from the 1st shot idea.
Which I imagine it was redesigned because of blocked sighlines towards Gaya.

 

[TP2000]

And notice, the blue polyester Dental Hygienest uniforms are being used on the actual ship. Not just the front desk check-in process. That's a real shame. And I even floss and have nothing to hide!

The second and third of the lobby look pretty similar to me. The angle is almost the same, though opposite.

 

[Cesar R M]

Are those giant paperclips on that light fixture? And, yeah, still feels like Star Trek with the overall decor.

Video down.. anyone saved it? XD

 

[ChrisFL]

This reminds me a lot of Seabase Alpha

 

[Cesar R M]

The need to 'fit all body types' in Disney costuming is as strong as ever... leading to this kind of mess

For 6k, they should have made costumes to fit.

 

[THE 1HAPPY HAUNT]

How embarrassing.

 

[Cesar R M]

I think in on Pandora, they use these or something similar:

They also use something very similar in central Florida rest stops so if you've been to one, I guess that could mess with the illusion a bit but either way, it's not custom but it's also not white porcelain.

In Pandora these make sense.
When you're on an interplanetary ship that needs to land limited resources to a planet. You bet they are going to throw the most basic bare minimum devices to keep everything working.
And that fits the military style minimalism for space colonialism.
At least until humanity invent the replicator XD

The reduction of windows with the 3d effect is the most clear downgrade.

Also, its my imagination or they also removed the windows from the dinning room as well? ())

I guess they only left the "bridge" with the active windows"?

Those are all different angles but the second and third seem the same just facing different areas

 

[TP2000]

No kidding! These CM's look shleppy and unkempt. Their uniforms are poorly designed, lacking any accesories or style, and don't look anything remotely Star Warsy. This is not "luxury", nor is it "immersive". It's a cheap and shapeless polyester tunic. I feel very badly for these CM's who probably thought they'd get cool uniforms.

Won't link this video with commentary, but here are two decent stills showing the lounge/dining room.
