Why Disney's New Galactic Starcruiser Hotel FLOPPED

Disney's Current "Star Wars" Problem and Why It's Ruining Everything
Who would have thought Disney would still be struggling to fill their $3000 a night hotel experience? There's an underlying problem that has been showing itself through their projects for a while now and it's only going to keep getting worse unless they address it and reengineer this massive issue. It would be nice to see them change and everyone to be happy with what they're doing at the end of the day but don't hold your breath...

I used to work at The Void that did the Star Wars 4D VR experience and it was amazing. Best part of the job was going through with "single riders". It was miles ahead of Galaxy's Edge, current VR headsets, all of it. I'll never forget feeling the actual heat of Mustafar's lava, the vibration impact of blaster bolts hitting you, or the terror of Darth Vadar showing up and breaking the gun your holding in your hands. If you get a chance please do it. It's a one of a kind experience.

[@oXRaptorzXo]

[@scremairsoftpaintball]

@@jocelyndeguise the whole point is that it would be something for the hotel 🏨 hence why I said it

[@slim..reaper]

Your ideas with having multiple planets and iconic spots inside the park was perfect. That’s EXACTLY how it should be

[@ainzer2903]

Yeah, since Disney have so much money they gained from their money sla- trees. At least should so miniature of those planets and rooms with balanced decoration between eras...

[@evanv-qm8dg]

But how could they fit that many in there and make something that the fandom would be satisfied with? I watched a series that, at one point, talked about what the imaginers had in mind when making the park. One of the reasons they made a new cannon planet was so that they could make the guests feel like their stories were overshadowed by people from the movies. Whether you like the new cannon land or not, I don't think cramming a bunch of small lands would be the solution.

[@jordanwhite352]

​@@evanv-qm8dgThey literally had the answer the entire time: The World Between Worlds. The fact that the world of between worlds acts like a central hub that allows you to both travel to any place and anytime in Star Wars would have been a gold mine for making this section of the park. Hop from anywhere from the prequels to the sequels to the original trilogy and anything in between and how with the miniature biomes. You can change them depending on what's popular or not. But you see the problem is the world between worlds was made by Dave flone, who literally in the stupidest thing. Only recently was made creative director of everything Star Wars when he should have been one of the main creative directors in the movies in the main franchise from the beginning based on his output and experience. And I'm not even a Dave faloni fan or fanboy, but it's completely obvious that if he was steering the shit for all three films and had other people writing and directing and producing it under his thumb, we would have had a completely different sequel trilogy. Same thing with this. This is probably what have been his go-to was. Let's make a world between worlds land that goes to different sections in Star Wars. It would have been perfect but Disney's going to Disney.

[@JohnDoe-zr8pc]

Here we are a year later, and Disney is STILL ignoring what their actual fans want, and creating shows & movies for their imaginary new fan base that simply doesn’t exist.

[@creatos2556]

The ones who actually spend the money love the prequels, kids may like the sequel but its their parents that pay for it, idk why Disney didn't thing about this

[@michaelschroeck2254]

Disney really dropped the ball with Galaxy’s edge by limiting the characters to be between episodes 8 and 9. The brilliance of the wizarding world is that you can feel like your actually visiting places in the movie. Batuu? Who wants to go there?

[@Niennub1977]

So my aunt took me to do the vr 4d experience and it was actually one of the coolest things it really did feel like Star Wars and I never understood why they just didn't do more stuff like that because I loved it.

[@ProGriefer5522]

I honestly dont understand how hard it is for a big cooperation with the money & pull such as Disney to have a dedicated studio/team for Star Wars. Its my biggest pet peeve with these cooperations that rely on old out dated minds to conjure up a story trajectory for a series that has an enormous fanbase thats more literate than they are about literally anything franchise related. One would think they’d find more profit in making quality storylines that feed both the originals and new series alike to not only make successful projects but have the fans literally throwing their money at them, as much as the cash cows they already are.

[@johntrek187]

It's not an old way of thinking. It's the new. They aren't just making star wars. They are pushing a politcal agenda. That's why they don't care. The left destroys everything it touches. Including star wars.

[@ex8eight]

Imo I think if they were so desperate to make everything canon they should have just have made the park set in the world between worlds which just takes you to certain rides and experiences from any movie

[@JohnGeorgeBauerBuis]

That would have been smart.

[@jordanwhite352]

This. But you see the problem is that world between worlds was Dave flone's idea and for some reason they never allowed him on the main creative team until he not only knocked it out of the park with their TV show but then did it in live action and now they realized oh he would be a great person to steer all the lord and stories stuff. Fucking idiots. It's like hiring Christopher Nolan to write and direct your film and then have him not actually direct the film he wrote. WTF.

[@jbsmith966]

the $6,000 price tag for a family week end get away MIGHT have had something to do with it...$600 maybe,,,,but Disney is out of rabid a$$ minds if they think $6,000,,,

If they can make marvel characters hang out on avengers campus together after half those characters were killed off, then they can make Luke and Young anakin talk to you in the same day.

[@VampireNewl]

The disneys starwars movies always always remind me of a quote by Mark Rosewater of Magic the Gathering "If everyone likes your game but no one loves it, it will fail." and that's pretty much the whole problem Disney have with their Star Wars movies, their are people that liked the Sequels (though personally I didn't) but very few of them actually liked the movies enough to actually be invested in the disney universe, many turned up to the movies left and never looked at anything Star Wars again.

[@aaronmerkel5216]

cost was too high, it wasn't star-wars themed, and having an immersive experience like that day after day is just too much for anyone

[@taitcarrillo8926]

10:00 this is perhaps the largest problem with Disney Star Wars. They refuse to make alien looking planets. They refuse to make alien lead characters. They refuse to take Star Wars off of planet Earth.

[@bluekewne]

They should've just made a space station themed Star Wars hotel, ditch the fake space cruise approach entirely & lowered the price tremendously (like $300-$500/night). Maybe give the kids some things to do around the resort, like a themed pool area, a playground & some optional stuff like the lightsaber training included for hotel guests. Then it would've had potential to last. People can have people visit them in the hotel, you can do other theme parks & attractions - like literally any hotel. This tops Superstar Limo as far as Disney's failed attractions go.

[@whiskeyvictor5703]

The space station idea was in Futureworld (1976) -- the sequel to Westworld.

[@keithstimpyys3497]

Disney doesn't understand how to make Star Wars without politics It's supposed to be a Galaxy far far away. A long, long time ago.

[@ribo07h]

it would be cool if they created a system of "hyperspace travels" to go from one planet to another

[@Nonamearisto]

The truth is, Star Wars is dead as long as the "sequels" are considered canon by Disney. Killing the "sequels" is necessary to save Star Wars, but not sufficient. Then they have to replace the "sequels" with actual sequels which fans actually like, even if it will likely take time for the real sequels to make box office money. Don't worry, most of the cash comes from the merchandise, which alone will enable actual sequels to outsell the "sequels."

[@CommandrAppo]

I just dropped $1500 to buy and build a clone trooper cosplay suit, and I have yet to see The Rise of Skywalker. That’s should say something about my opinions on Disney Star Wars…

[@GavStaR79]

You're not missing anything. The minute Leia walks past Chewie to cosole Rey over Han's death was the nail in the coffin for me.

[@abraham2172]

I would love to visit the epic battles of the prequel era. A ride where one could watch the battle on Geonosis or Kashyk, at best take part in the battle as a droid or a clone. How was it for the average soldier to fight in a battle? Like in Battlefront 2, only in "real life". One should also be able to use an AAT or drive in a clone turbo tank. Or fly a STAP. The possibilitied are endless.

[@MichaelJaeYT]

Disney quest used to have a bunch of simulators and stuff like this and it was so cool. They could easily make an updated one thats star wars themed for the park and people would love it

[@Kidmeowmeow]

I even talked about this with my dad, he said it looked horrible even saying they should’ve just made it original trilogy themed which I agree.

[@justonedork]

I actually attended the Void experience and it was the most immersive Star Wars experience I ever went through ever since I rode Star Tours was reopened

[@tristandenny8754]

They could turn the hotel into a hotel with all characters like he said and they could even add things in there like where you build a droid and lightsaber. They have enough content of starwars that staying with the shows that do well is something they should stick to. They could make an entire Disney park from starwars planets alone, make it like Epcot of starwars

[@jeffreycarman2185]

Maybe if they do let the hotel get run down, and have light bulbs burning out, doors not opening right, and actors’ costumes getting a bit tattered it would start to look like Star Wars.

[@WilliamAGould]

One could go to a grocery store and find that nine out of ten people at random whom could quickly come up with far more profitable plan for Star Wars than those at Lucasfilm. The situation has become a matter of spite by those running Lucasfilm. Those that took control of the temple are upset that no one is bowing to their "greatness", so they are burning the temple to the ground. By the way, the Naboo waterpark idea would have been a great idea.

[@jedibob007]

I had the financial means of going but I couldn’t bring myself to go to the starcruiser. For $6k I could go to anywhere on earth for a week. From what the itinerary stated, it was 2 half days and one full day. I did do the void and it was the coolest Star Wars experience ever, wish they had video of it online.

[@storyseeker6028]

Disney: why does nobody love me? Also Disney: makes a 6000 dollar hotel that feels like generic sci-fi, destroys everything the previous films worked for, expects fans to watch another film starring Rey.

[@JaceySpacey]

I did that starwars VR experience at downtown Disney Anaheim some years ago and it was SO FREAKING COOL. I was never a huge star wars fan but that legit changed how I felt about the whole thing. It was so dang fun and exciting! So basically they should have stuck with the traditional Disney Land formula of mashing the best aspects of each IP into their own rides/areas with character actors, all existing outside of canonical timelines. That could've been the same physical size as Batuu and it still would've been SO COOL. I can't believe how bad they've mishandled star wars

[@AndrewSmoot]

You are supposed to be in space while staying on the Starcruiser, so, I get why they used screens that projected space scenes for the windows; it would destroy the illusion of being in space if you looked outside and saw the Florida/Disney skyline. Having said that, $6,000 for a family of four is hella steep for just 48 hours.

[@GavStaR79]

That's fine but then make the units larger...more spacious....bigger "windows" etc. because the size is way too small and gives one a dungeon like enclosed feeling.

I lived by a void and took my son there several times. The hotel also should have made each room like a galactic looking suite comparable to their other nice hotels. The rooms should over look a cool alien garden. Regardless of price that place doesn’t look like somewhere I would want to go.

[@kronosaur417]

my ideal star wars land would be set either during the "dark times" (between revenge of the sith and a new hope) so you could get both original trilogy and prequel trilogy characters, or during the New republic era (just after return of the jedi) i would have a central hub (coruscant) which has most of the shopping and dining options, as well as the jedi temple where a jedi (either an order 66 survivor for dark times or one of Luke's students for new republic era) would take you on a VR adventure inside the temple. the spaceport would take you to different "planets" (parts of the park) where each place has a unique ride/attraction for you to experience.

What I'd want to do in a Star Wars hotel? Let's see: - Revisit OT locations and see OT characters that aren't Ewoks. This means Tatooine, Yavin IV, Hoth, Dagobah, Bespin, and the forest moon of Endor, minus the Ewoks if possible. It also means both Death Stars. - Revisit select PT locations, especially Coruscant, Naboo, and Kamino. - Stay in rooms which resemble rebel or imperial architecture from the OT, and the best PT rooms from Coruscant and Naboo. Possibly a Mustafar room, minus the heat. Perhaps the rooms can be custom-themed on each night one stays there: just change the video display and any background sound effects. - Possibly some material from the cartoons, especially Clone Wars and Rebels. - See locations from Mando seasons 1 and 2. Maybe some stuff from -Halo: Reach- Rogue One. - Not be charged $6000 for two nights. - NOT see anything from the ST. - If possible, watch a live action version of the greatest lightsaber fights from the OT and PT and Mando, especially Luke vs. Vader both times, Obi-Wan vs. Vader on Mustafar, Obi-Wan/Qui-Gon vs. Darth Maul, and Luke vs. the Dark Troopers.

I will literally never understand why they decided to make the star wars hotel on a spaceship instead of theming it like it was located on one of the many planets. Imagine how insanely beautiful a hotel designed with the Naboo architecture would be, or if they used the scrapped mediterranean hotel as inspiration for a hotel “in” Tatooine. These ideas also would’ve been valuable for those who have never seen star wars, the architecture is universally beautiful regardless of if you’re a fan or not. For me at least, the most fantastical part of star wars’ world building is the planets and it feels like such a misread to make the star wars hotel a spaceship.
