Gimp's photo and idea above are brilliant because it actually shows star wars characters we freaking recognize and care about. They could steal a page from "A Bug's Life" and make the starcruiser an in-universe entertainment vessel which the first order despises. I could see Goofy being... goofy in front of a Kylo Ren actor and Goofy actually mocking Kylo, which gets him dragged off to a holding cell. Then it turns out someone else on the ship like a fake passenger family are actually rebel spies trying to get info from the first order to someone else like Chewbacca who shows up near the end and nobody believes him (or her).
It would be a little "meta" like in the Avatar (cartoon) series when they watch a terrible play about their own lives. Or for people who aren't familiar with Avatar, it would be like Rogers - The Musical in the Hawkeye series. A show within a show, which would play up to the disney vibe, keep it fun and recognizable, and maybe make some of us want to book it. That opens the door for there to be funny and campy shows and events on the ship based on "historical events" from the series which may be intentionally incorrect. If Howard the Duck can be in the Avengers, Mickey and Minnie can be Luke and Leia impersonators who don't even know who Mickey and Minnie Mouse are.
And screw the current lightsaber training, they should get people to actually train passengers with toy lightsabers in dueling. You can find people experienced with Kendo at many colleges. They don't need to be perfect fighters, they just need to stay in character. Even say "these aren't real lightsabers, since nobody has seen one in years, but this is how they seemed to fight."
