The Star Wars Hotel's Promotional Tour Joins the High Republic

The Halcyon, a.k.a. the Galactic Starcruiser, a.k.a. Walt Disney World’s ludicrously expensive Star Wars hotel, will be part of not one but three new novels in addition to starring in its own comic, with more appearances on the way.

I expect we’ll see some media reports next week about some of the play elements that guests will experience.

And the most interesting part will be are they going to dare say what they really think about it.

Is the lack of swimming pool going to be covered in canonical lore?

Is the lack of swimming pool going to be covered in canonical lore?

Yes...

Yoda: "A Jedi uses the force for information and defense, never for attack or swimming".

 

[nickys]

Yes...

Yoda: "A Jedi uses the force for information and defense, never for attack or swimming".

That sentence has too much structure for Yoda to have uttered those words. I think you misheard.

"These are not the swimming pools you're looking for"

This is turning out to be just like the massive LARPs I've participated in (and helped run). Totally fun.

 

[flynnibus]

I wonder why if it's complete enough to tour - why it's still so far from opening?

Did they really wait that long to staff and work on the writing/training?

LAME!

I assume this was a rhetorical question?
Absolutely not

Ah, but they get one of the wandering droids that was supposed to be in Batuu but you now have to pay upwards of $5000 to see. Because why should folks paying only a few thousand for a vacation get the good stuff?

Why? I imagine this would be a real-time 'puppeted' image you can interact with just like Monster Laugh Floor or Crush.

There's still the roaming R2 droid.

 

[Wendy Pleakley]

It sounds...fine.

The story sounds like exactly what one would predict. It's a "cruise" but also secretly out to help the Resistance and will get involved in some sort of skirmish with the First Order.

For the price will people want a bit more than "Star Wars by the numbers?"

Food & merch looks to be of high quality.

 

[Sirwalterraleigh]

Just go with the OT costumes and get it over with…but hey…common sense isn’t that common

After seeing the tech for that walkaround Groot figure, I had higher hopes.
