News Star Wars Galactic Starcruiser coming to Walt Disney World 2021

Maybe S.E.A

IF the rumored new series is a hit.

I’m rooting for it, just because I want Disney to build attractions based on its own new IP rather than on what they keep buying it from others.

Interestingly enough the backstory / history of S.E.A. has an Indiana Jones connection.

Interestingly enough the backstory / history of S.E.A. has an Indiana Jones connection.

It sort of has a connection to EVERYTHING. I think that’s part of why @Sirwalterraleigh isn’t a fan.

And I sort of agree.

 

[Imhere]

Actually, I didn't. Where were the videos of people establishing backstories, cast members treating them differently based on the characters they created, and participating in a game where the outcome wasn't decided in advance?

I thought that was the definition of LARP'ing.

All I've seen so far is a Star Wars themed kids day camp with some adults dressed up and playing along while others wear street clothes and cringe while watching them. I see an embarrassing "light saber" training experience that belongs at my local laser tag, dance lessons, horrible acting, and a barebones cafeteria with mood lighting.

If that is amazing and world-changing themed entertainment to you, then God bless.

So, I’ll put you down as a ‘maybe’?

All they really need to do is upgrade the seating and overall change the lighting a bit to make it feel more upscale (but not too dark)....I tried to do that below

Also, I think what would help is some more things in motion on that top lighting structure...so at least when you're there in person it would look more special. ...like all of those things rotating around would look cool (reminds me of some things in Final Fantasy X if anyone remembers that)

I was curious as to what happened to the tables from the Electric Umbrella.

This is a perk.

I just think it’s one of these rabbit holes that we ASSUME the management is seriously going after…

Star Wars fandom is a huge and diverse place. Why do so many fans think everyone fans the way they fan?

 

[MisterPenguin]

I wouldn’t call what Disney released just cringy. I’d say it was crappy - apparently showing off the least interesting looking elements of the “ship”.

I'd call anything cringey also crappy.

Ahhh…gotta love George’s prequel “marketing strategy”

 

[Sirwalterraleigh]

Ok…David Vaughn has gone full tool. Put the Twitter down!

 

[MisterPenguin]

Apparently there are protocols place to deal with this in the event that it should happen.

Indeed. A couple of dweebs who decided to hassle SW fans by showing up at GE in Trek uniforms wound up getting hassled by Disney management.

The nerve of Disney banishing trolls!

 

[ChrisFL]

People here still grasping for reasons why it's not going to work while it's starting to work.

It can still be a success and "work" but still have some thematic issues. I'm still wondering how things will change in the next several months, will we see story tweaks, price changes, other changes?

I guess but like I said, there were plenty of “media” videos I found cringy (I watched a lot in 2x speed because I found the persona/personalities grating) that still managed to show off the place better than Disney did.

Will I be subscribing to any of these annoying people on YouTube?

Nope.

Did they make the experience look closer in value to the price being charged than Disney has?

I’d say, without a doubt.

Viking cruises offers “highly detailed costumed characters interacting with your group, a personalized story arch, and high tech effects "out the wazoo?”

What’s the Viking version of pixie dust?

Their ships have tons of culture and artifacts. but character.. eeeeh nope..
For characters I think only Disney and Carnival have those now that RCCL dropped Dreamworks.

A Disney parks cinematic universe?
While I'm ok with the battlestar thing. I just can't imagine they trying to pull a Ready Player One.
It will look way too similar to Kingdom Hearts?

I think you'll be the exception that will admit that they have delivered. Most will just sulk back into their hole and stop commenting. Happens all the time around here lately.

No sulking for me. I loved the videos and saw many chances for D to properly promote this. They could have started with a clip of the muster call with Luke's Theme running in the background. Follow that up with Lt. Croy's entrance with Darth Vader's theme behind it. Follow that up with some cuts of Gaia, followed with chases around the ship. The Dis's video had some great scenes that could make for some cool footage. Do that all with fast cuts and I think they could have causes a lot of excitement. But, all this droning on of the imagineers saying really nothing hasn't helped their case.

Loved the "long play dinner theater mixed with escape room puzzles and I'd love to participate in that. In the big scheme of things? Did they do a good job. Yes. Did they do a $1000/night good job? No. That's a hard "no".

The AC only goes to 68.
It is not as cold in space as we were lead to believe.

I can support that objectively…and not practically

Cost saving measure not screaming “luxury”
