They're going to lock Kathleen Kennedy and the rest of the Lucasfilm failures in the "ship's" brig.

You know they won't learn their lesson. It doesn't matter what they put there, they could put a R2D2 and Greedo singing a duet at a piano bar, and you know they're going to up-charge this thing so high it will make V&A seem like a quick service location.

Bob can’t take the ego hit

NOTHING I BUY FAILS!! (Except almost all of it right now)

I’m serious about the “excursions”. Do some mock-ups, throw out a price point…then tinker it till some bite and they claim victory.

And it could work…If you’re not stupid.

Put it high end space simulators/obstacle course type things…
Get closer to the “extreme boutique” park type thing they’ve talked about for decades.

But they don’t have the stones. And Stanford doesn’t teach imagination

I think you underestimate the appeal of an upcharge "Climb out of the Sarlacc pit" attraction. People lock rock-climbing!

They could build the dinner theater in SWGE (as originally intended) and it would be a lot cheaper to operate. They literally built themselves into a corner with the placement of this stupid thing. Quickest thing is to make it a public boutique hotel with a Table $$ervice and shops. So they won't get $2500/night but without the LARPing you can easily get to a $750-1000/night and still make money.

Maybe they'll just retheme it. To an "Imperial Light Cruiser". That or Frozen.

I understand that Josh will be panhandling on World Drive for some extra change from passing guests to get this underway.

No way. Just retheme it to pigs in space and watch the money roll in!

They probably just signed on Logitech as the official sponsor of it.

Right? That’s what I’m talking about…complete with real life “can’t see/hear” Harrison ford!!!

The build kinda screwed that

They didn’t build it nice enough to attract real human travelers…
And didn’t do anything Star Wars to get the 5 trolls who single handedly brought those 3 awful movies down out of their moms basement to show up either

 

[mightynine]

If Olivia Rodrigo falls through, there's always a chance Miley Cyrus might be available.

Have you seen the latest and greatest Disney architecture? The Polynesian Embassy Suites? I hear they're dusting off the plans for Reflections: A Generic DVC Resort as well.

Don’t you mean Innotek?

I’m having Hydra wipe my brain so I can FORGET seeing it

They'll stick a Mickey Minnie(sorry no dude characters allowed) or Moana in it and it will be "MAGICAL"

Bob Chapek Museum?

Bob Chapek Museum?

I can't imagine how much all this theming cost them.

 

[networkpro]

To convert it into a dinner show they could do two concurrent shows, one on Deck 6, the other on Deck 4.
