Goodbye, STAR WARS HOTEL.

The HALCYON GALACTIC STARCRUISER! What an unforgettable experience. My girlfriend (now fiancé!) spent 2 nights here last year and had the time of our lives. I took so much video that putting it all together was too overwhelming of a project for me to take on at the time. But now, over a year later, I finally got around to finishing this.

------------------ WHAT THIS CHANNEL IS ABOUT ------------------
Welcome, Star Wars Nerds! You belong here :) This channel is about escaping this galaxy, and entering a new one. One that we all love, that others don't quite understand. One filled with Jedi, Lightsabers, and Space Battles. Romance, Hope, and Belonging. So that we can make life a little more fun.
I've covered cosplay, toys, virtual reality, events, and more. These aren't just movie reviews. This isn't just theory. This is Star Wars In Real Life.
------ LIGHTSABER ACADEMY: / starwarsirl --------------
I created a Patreon tier ONLY for those who wish to become true Jedi and learn how to build your own lightsabers. You’ll get special access to long-form videos where I show you how to build a lightsaber from start to finish, explaining every step along the way.

I saw that coming. Who in their right mind would think charging people $5000 for two nights to play their equivalent of escape room in a bunker was a good idea!?

[@KillerCreeper299]

That’s only for that room with all the beds it’s like a 5 person room Disney world tickets by themselves are only $100/day depending on where you buy them but Don’t think a single* room is that expensive

[@KillerCreeper299]

Maybe about 1200/day but I’d buy it Actually I am once they open it back up

[@nickfaver]

While I’ll miss your videos, I’m grateful for all the ways you helped us live Star Wars with you! I always thought it was such a cool and unique idea for a channel; fans like us always need more Star Wars in our lives. Stoked to hear you and Amanda got engaged and wish you best on the next chapter. You may not remember but I got to meet you guys at the 501st Bash in Anaheim after randomly recognizing Amanda on the dance floor (she was surprised!), and it was one of the highlights of my Celebration! Maybe we’ll meet again at the next one. May the Force be with you bro!

[@semajkecyr]

This genuinely looks like alot of fun, and as a life time starwars fan is something I think I would have really enjoyed. But a $5,000 price tag will always be too much to justify for such a short amount of time. :(

[@Amanda-rt3bq]

We saved for over a year for this experience. And as much as we would like to go back before it closes, we just don’t have the time we need to get that kind of money together again. The price tag definitely killed it which is such a shame.

[@SpaceWizardCosplay]

Sad, but true. Too bad it closed due to the high cost.

[@billepperson2662]

See, what priced me out of going, was the amount of blow I'd need to stay awake, optimally enjoying existence for 48 consecutive hours...

[@bweber1226]

Thanks for the videos, including this one! What a send off for the cruiser!

[@SkoolConnor]

"what brings you to our treasured ship?" missed opportunity to say "we're space pirates and we've come to steal your goods"

[@Amanda-rt3bq]

I agree, missed opportunity

[@jstudyt]

Thanks for sharing your adventure. Looks awesome!

[@searats20]

Thanks so much for letting us live this experience through you! It all looked so awesome!! Too bad it's disappearing, but, with that pricetag , it makes sense. MTFBWY!

[@Levi_Zacharias]

Loved the video. Thanks so much for putting it together for us!

[@grootloops]

Love this youtuber! Wishing you and Amanda the best!

[@Take2pros]

Oh my heart, thank you. One of the best videos of the Star cruiser we've seen. Ps... We had your spot in bridge training! Feb 16 2023!

[@dannyonana]

WOW, feels like watching you and Amanda go on a big adventure from start till end!!

[@Amanda-rt3bq]

There is still so much to see that we didn’t have time to add in! Like our photo session and all of our long, in-character conversations with everyone.

[@christiantheimprovguy1769]

Thank you for sharing your adventure with the world. I'm so sad the HALCYON won't be around forever. I really wanted to go.

[@Amanda-rt3bq]

We really wanted a chance to go again too. We never thought when we left that it would be the last time.

[@SkoolConnor]

@@Amanda-rt3bq thats always how it goes isnt it? When me and my family went on vacation to Mexico last year, I thought that we would probably go again this year, I wasnt expecting to enlist in the Marine Corps and be so busy with the rest of highschool lol. But unfortunately life goes on, it doesnt wait for vacations. I really wish I could have experienced the Star Wars hotel, it looked super cool.

[@SpideyWarsStudios]

I'll miss your content, but I'm glad you're happy irl. Congrats on the engagement. Be sure to post a wedding photo or two for us

[@Amanda-rt3bq]

We’re having a videographer so I’ll try to convince Josh to post the entire wedding for everyone. There will be Star Wars of course.

[@SpideyWarsStudios]

​@@Amanda-rt3bq thanks! 👍

[@The_Colinator]

Omg that sounds amazing Amanda! Have an amazing wedding! 😊

[@Dilee123likesbananas]

Absolute respect for the 40 minute video, I really love your content and the quality, but make videos, only when you're loving it too. Otherwise, what's the point to it? Anyway, you've been my favourite Star Wars youtuber, with many fun and dramatic moments. For that and more, I hope you the best of wishes ahead! Remember, to keep on living Star Wars!!!

[@PenguinMaster2371]

The dialogue between the 2 of you at the beginning had my wife looking at me and saying.... that's you!

[@christophersims7060]

WOW!Thanks for sharing! Lord knows I could never afford to do that. Stay safe and May the.Force Always be with You both!

[@Vecibwfhfih6fg72fhi3hfij3gonei]

Is there more to do? Your channel was very nice

[@davidmennuti3929]

It was awesome to meet you and Amanda aboard the Halcyon and getting to cruise the galaxy with y’all. My wife and I are going to miss your channel but we hope that what ever life has in store for you and your fiancée after your channel is amazing and full of adventure. All the best!!!!

[@Im_Masami]

it looks amazing

[@SailorVenus90]

This is the video I've been looking for!

[@benjaminhillman461]

Happy you dropped this masterpiece but sad you won’t be making any consistent videos😢

[@labandahalf]

A YTer that prefers quality over consistency is much better than one who prefers consistency. It makes their videos get boring after a while since they run out of ideas quicker.

[@benjaminhillman461]

@@labandahalf did you even watch the video

That’s what happens when you set up unreasonable prices in the first place

It only took it closing for you to put the video out😂 we missed you

[@Gino_5550]

0:30 "Are you sure we need our house"😂

[@ForceFandom]

Awesome video. I was actually at Batuu the day you 2 were there but missed out on seeing you. Your content is part of what inspired me to start my own channel. I full understand why you were gone and wish you to all the best going forward. I will look forward to a random video from you but do it when it feels right. I don't think any of us are going anywhere. I know I'm not.

[@0KMerk]

Goodbye guys i know im late but we will miss you entirely. And so happy to see you guys enjoy what we all star wars fans enjoy

[@priyonjoni]

Glad to see you back!

[@tomn6800]

I really wish I could've met you at Celebration! I was there but i didn't spot you.

u looking forward to the Ahsoka show, it’s the continuation of Rebels and I know u love Rebels

[@Marz-SPS]

Damn that’s EXPENSIVE

[@wammybmx]

Should keep doing random videos, really good at capturing what it’s like to be there.

[@The_Colinator]

Hey SWIRL, great vid BTW, I know you won’t be continuing to upload in the near future but just wondering if you know that you can still play Jedi challenges! I know it got retired off the App Store, but I went into my previous purchases in the App Store and just re downloaded it. And with newer phones it only works if you restart your phone and then make the game the only thing you open when you turn back on your phone. If you don’t do this the screen will shake and you won’t be able to see anything. But yeah, I just got back into the game after realizing it still works and I love it! I’m going to try to play versus mode with my brother as well. I hope to see you again soon and remember, The force will be with you. Always.

Your back?!

[@deeznuts23yearsago]

Had they charged less then in sure it would be worth it but 2 days for the same price as a week at Disney is insane For reference me and 3 of my family flew from England to Florida for 2 weeks in Disney and it costed 10k This is not worth 7 days in Disney for me pery

Nothing in the hotel feels like Star Wars. Just looks like a generic scifi theme.

but your still gonna make videos but not like you use to right

One day, only the rich will be able to afford to live, and one day even they will be too poor. Greed will destroy humanity.

[@labandahalf]

I totally see this coming.

[@christophergeorge4398]

The price is outrageous and not worth it with all the damage Disney has done to my beloved franchise I'm happy to see Disney fall

[@StillSaber]

GSC is a joke, no one wants to go to a hotel and play cosplay video games, people would want to go to a hotel and relax and see the sights and whatever else, not do the stuff that hotel staff is suppose to do, in any kind cruise ship or not, the captain is responsible for the lives of their passengers and crew MEANING that the crew should not have put the passengers anywhere NEAR the engine room or any kind fuel source like Quaxium or whatever the hell its called, I still prefer the word Tibana Gas instead or Rydonium, Quaxium sounds like it was squeezed from a duck, "Oh hey look, I just invented a new fuel source, its called Quaxium, freshly squeezed from a Duck" what's next Bantha Gas, just hook a Bantha to your gas tank, I'm GLAD the GSC is going Bye Bye.

[@TridentLandStudios]

Good riddance. The price for this is not worth the experience. Disney tried to alienate their consumer and it backfired.
