Do you think those are popular? Should the Starcruiser experience compared to those?

Perhaps…
The “first order”’is a big part of the problem since day one. Relabeling what worked just to sell it as disney’s idea.
If I said I didn’t shake my head when is saw the renaming in December 2015…I’d be lying.
It’s was spidersense and red alert all at once

So far, the videos I’ve seen show vloggers shooting video of what’s in front of them.
For some, that was the awful “dance instruction.” But did you see the one that was like two people in a storage closet observing a “private meeting” between the blue Captain and the First Order Baddie?

Obviously you haven’t played the arcade games at the Boardwalk in a while. (KIDDING)

It just turns the whole thing into the queue instead of the main attraction. I’m 100% fine with playing silly games with no stakes while waiting in line for Space Mountain or Soarin’, but I’m not waiting in line or spending money to play those games - there’s a main attraction at the end.
Here, it seems like the games are supposed to be the main attraction. But if the story events are the actual main attraction on the Starcruiser, then they are less like a thrill ride and more like Frozen Sing Along minus the humor.
And, no…I don’t know for sure that there isn’t that story line, but it doesn’t seem likely. I would be much more impressed if there was a chance the good guys lose. There’s a reason to book another experience.

…now you see what makes The world turn, eh?
As far as characters go…you’ll know they’re struggling with this if they start doing “exciting meet and greets with you favorite Star Wars characters!!!” In about 6 months. Watch for it.

Absolutely it is. I would have wanted a far more mature type of stay myself. I'll wait and see if anything evolves or if they improve upon the theme and make it more what we think when we hear SW or not. For now I'm very sure it's just not for us. Now if they offered this as a day experience for $1k a pop we would actually consider more. Just 2 days of this is too much for me at where it is.

I don't think it's this -- mainly because everyone has an itinerary before they go, and all of these activities are scheduled in advance.
People are scheduled for dance lessons from 3-3:30, and for model building from 4:15-4:45, etc.; they're all part of the regular experience. This is why I suggested somewhere above that it might work better as a one day event where they don't have to throw in all these random filler activities and could focus almost exclusively on the story/theater aspect.

I've seen a few videos where this happens
Yes, don't bother.
Could you share them please? I have yet to see that.
and it is not that Dance lessons in Star Wars and gaming is inherently bad, but it needs to have better production value. We should have an irate character creature or humanoid get ticked and toss his card or try and cheat.
Gaya can have a payoff concept with the Dance Lesson, or more Alien characters teach or join you to share their culture. The dance lessons I have seen had showmanship of people line dancing with a young CM on a handheld microphone. What a great opportunity from some comic relief and have someone from the first order bob along to it trying to remain militant or a trooper taking notice.

He’s just another guy (JAG in some areas) that jumps on threads and tries to be clever…then quickly turns it to personal attacks when the “I’m a capitalist…Disney is great!” Schtick fails…
It’s been happening all over the place this week. Even the elders have noticed.

I think those scheduled activities were for the in-story cruise itinerary. More like an ostensible reason to get ”passengers” to the right places on the ship so they can observe different scenes of the story unfolding.
So the 3:30PM ”dance lessons” are “real” in that they really happen, but Disney doesn’t put a whole lot of effort into them because they don’t want to compete with the actors acting out story beats all around the atrium during the ”lesson.”
EDIT TO ADD: Check out this video of the TERRIBLE ”dance lessons,” but listen to the audio at around the 1 minute mark. Sounds like a Stormtrooper saying something story-related to me (also see Stormtroopers at the back of the room around 2m:20s):

Apparently Gaya does, but it's not in the same time, but later during one of the concerts.
It's just the setup that feels out of place....reminds me of the super cheap animation class they did at Animal Kingdom a couple of years ago with about $15 worth of setup

Agree, after watching several videos the point seems to be to get guests to those areas to then select some of them for some secret mission etc. Once you've realised that as a guest, you're probably excited about the next 'weird activity' as you see it as another opportunity to do something different. Instead of dance lessons or space bingo they perhaps could have been more imaginative, however changing this around wouldn't be too much of a struggle.
