So bear with me for a moment: Imagine if they simply just recreated the Jedi Temple and made that a gimmick. They give you Jedi Robes as you enter and to wear for your stay, you're able to tour the entire temple like the main halls, training room, a dueling area where you and one other person could have a lightsaber duel where the first to 5 hits wins or something, a library that gives more insight on the lore, and the Council Chamber where you could sit in one of the chairs or maybe holograms of Yoda, Obi-Wan, Windu etc would appear and talk to you. Obviously you include extra sections of the Temple like an entertainment room, big dining room, bar/night club, swimming area, amusement park etc. I just pulled all that out of my ass and sounds way cooler than this BS.

Why did the first order do mass genocide on 3 planets and no one retaliated even though the first order was not governing no part of the galaxy. sequels may have had better dialogue, but none of it made no sense what so ever. Obi Wan went into exile because he was wanted by a empire that govern almost all the galaxy. Luke went into exile because of some group that was considered a terrorist to rest of the galaxy. If Obi Wan killed the emperor, he still would of been killed for treason. That wasnt the case for luke. If Palpatine was speaking in kylos head the entire time, why wasnt he reaching out to his grand daughter as well. He could of been tempting Ray the entire sequels too.

For a successful hotel, I think, at minimum, each floor should be split into at least two wings. Each wing is themed for a different planet. Suites could be Senate themed.

Disney should hire all the star wars cosplayers and have them help make outfits for people. At least then the artistic fans get jobs and you learn how to make an outfit and get to take it home. As well as lower the price... but a star wars dnd experience for 5k sounds crazy for me.

[@glacieractivity]

First time I saw this ad. Jeez. Star Wars was (and has returned) as this gritty dusty broken down grounded world - look at the Mandalorian. This looks more like they have looked at Wall-E and totally missed the social and environmental commentary in said movie while also catastrophically mis-interpreting the Star Wars universe as an added bonus-failure. No Star Wars fan would chose the AXIOM over the barely function mess of Millennium Falcon. Dropping out of the sky in the perpetually failing Razor Crest - yes thank you very much. Hanging out at the Mos Eisley Cantina Bar - now that is worth money. Hanging out in something so outlandishly "slick" that not even the crew of USS Enterprise would have met up there is totally missing all the points. This must be the most un-immercive and alienating realization of a "universe" ever built. Unless some rich kid's star-wars heroes are the Kaminoans or something. Here is something that makes kids go wide eyed. For 20 years I, as a geo-scientist, run quaternary geology field courses at Hardangerjøkulen, Norway. For the 5 day course us the lecturers always had a secret half-day excursion. Because we were having the course in the location for filming Echo Base on the planet Hoth. THAT feels like being in Star Wars and that got geo-students even way outside of the Fandom really exited (then we saw IV in the evening). And this points to the majestic stupidity of Disney. Those willing to pay insane amounts of money for Star Wars do not want panels to fall off the walls and ceilings. Fans of Star Wars expect panels to fall off walls and ceilings. This is like setting up "Blade Runner World" in Las Vegas.

If history of Disney's resorts show anything it's that Disney are professionals at repurposing poorly received rides and attractions into other rides with different IPs that share a similar aesthetic. All the disney parks are riddled with this. Basically, the Star Wars hotel being so generic and only superficially similar to Star Wars I feel is very intentional. It's a safety net for them. If it does bad, it'll be an easy and cheap repurpose to some other IP that has a similar theme. If Disney bought the rights to, say... Star Trek or Battlestar Galactica or any other 80s aesthetic scifi, it would be an easy convert for Disney. So far, Disney has shown they're very risk adverse when it comes to Star Wars so it's very much par for the course.

I think they missed an opportunity with lightsaber training. I think it should be more of how Luke was trained in Episode 4 using a helmet to make you blind in order to use The Force. My idea would be to create a helmet with an Oculus inside or something to create a virtual environment where you see actual remotes flying around shooting blaster fire. Where the laser is firing from the wall from this video, could match where the remotes are firing in the virtual environment. Imagine watching someone from the outside doing this. You would get more of a sense of "Wow, they are using The Force to block the blaster fire". You can get away with this because when Luke was being trained he told Obi-Wan he could almost see the remote even though he was blind wearing that helmet.

You could also have study classes to learn jedi/sith lore and force techniques and ascend ranks such as apprentice, warrior/knight, master, etc depending on how well you've furthered your faction's goals. At the very end everyone could participate in a simulated final naval battle in a command bridge manning turrets and coordinating fighters in order to secure a winning faction.

As if fans want to see eye removals and characters made into something they’re not. Or core values completely disregarded for reasons that don’t even make sense. They’ve gone completely off track with it far more than Star Wars to me. They’ve had a lot of screw ups especially with the films in my opinion but I think they’re still at least doing some things right with the shows like rebels, mandalorian, bad batch etc.

Classic StarTrek is Awesome. Nu-Trek is garbage. Classic StarWars is Awesome. Nu-Wars is garbage.

You take the lightsaber training out, it could be a Star Trek hotel. That’s how generic it is. I hope they come up with more ideas. Here’s some: a star fighter exhibit kinda like when the Falcon fought off the Tie Fighters in Episode 4. Jedi or Sith themed hotel rooms. A theater playing any Star Wars movie. More fighter simulations or an arcade with Star Wars games A droid themed area where you interact with robotic droids. That’s just a few I could come up with.

I'll take a full scale hanger where you can explore around the iconic ships that we know and love brought to life and real size. Now THAT would be cool!

[@SirDenzington89]

I think SW Theory just illustrated the entire problem with current Star Wars. There aren’t people who understand the material or really love the material making the decisions. A guy on KZbin came up with a better experience on the spot than a billion dollar company could probably because the idea was we need a new hotel, okay well let’s slap a Star Wars coat of paint on it.

[@13thdukeofwybourne69]

The premise of the song "Welcome to the new world!" Is _very_ telling as to what's behind Disney Star Wars. It's not that they don't understand the Material. It's that they view the material simply as a gateway into changing western cultural conscience. The old Star Wars universe is outdated and problematic, but look, we injected a load of identity politics in and "Fixed" it for you.

[@cwp24]

@@13thdukeofwybourne69 exactly. That’s the point and it’s disgusting. I can see George Lucas absolutely cringing at this.

It boggles the mind that with so much reference and source materials already published, they can still drop the ball when it comes to the essence and aesthetics.

[@willrobson5104]

Lol theory’s 15 second silence in stunned amazement of what he just saw is still too funny to this day 😂 Fr how could they charge 5 grand for that and think they can get away with it

[@FilmmakerJ]

The problem is, they've gone for the sequel trilogy look of tech rather than the OG trilogy. And the main bridge that you can walk on there, is the main ship from last Jedi, which just looks all kinds of unappealing. Give me prequel trilogy locals; I'll take that form of "glossy" and "sterile" over whatever this aesthetic is any day.

[@iamsean92]

seriously the worst ship in all 9 movies. imo

[@shcdemolisher]

Yeah it looks more appropraite in Star trek, too clean and not dirty and dark, or something that is actually like star wars.

[@GloomGaiGar]

It doesn't even look like the sequel trilogy lol.

[@eternalemperorvalkorion750]

The prequels look is good because it’s the same used world just in its highly maintained and well serviced state. Whereas og was mostly backwater and in poverty except cloud city which looks kinda prequelseque. The sequels aesthetic was clearly derived from JJ.s work on Star Trek

[@arctr00perecho]

I think the main thing we have to remember is that this is no longer George's Star Wars. The first six movies and lore were like a puzzle George created, but Disney has tried to put pieces in places where they don't belong in "their" Star Wars.

[@tux75]

I can't wait for Defunctland to make a video about that

The love this man has for this franchise is so plain to see, especially with that stunned silence after the trailer. Awesome ideas man and I hope someone in charge is watching

[@zacharyhendrix2787]

Dude, the Sith/Jedi Temple idea is incredible!! If I was rich and had that kind of money, I'd definitely pay 5k to experience a Jedi or Sith Temple. I had tons of hopes and ideas for what they could've done with Galaxy's Edge similar to what you're saying here and have said in previous videos, and Disney ultimately under-delivered. In the same manner, this "galactic starcruiser" looks cheap as hell and is just a funky, cartoon spaceship-looking hotel with the Star Wars name slapped on it so they can attmpt to charge bucket loads of money for it. Outside of Dave Filoni, Jon Favreau, & Gareth Edwards, it seems like Star Wars in the hands of Disney does not get the creative respect it deserves/needs to even come close to feeling like George's Star Wars

[@outerjohn]

I’d add the team behind Jedi Fallen Order to your list- they put together one of the most gripping and masterful Star Wars stories ever told (in my opinion).

[@spaceonisorceress4406]

It’s amazing I went to The Star Trek Experience in Vegas years ago and it was inexpensive and only an hour or so. Every moment felt like Trek, it started with a complete timeline of every episode and movie laid out as you walked buy which was great for casual and hard core fans . You ended up on the next generation bridge and you got to sit in the captains chair. They had cast members in full Klingon, Federation, and other aliens, which was amazing. At the end you got drinks at Quarks bar. The sad thing is it’s no more expensive to do it right than wrong just needs a touch more imagination

[@happyron]

What this actually reminds me of is I went to see a exhibit on Funk where they had teenagers going “we want funk”, it was so saccharine and insincere yet still it was more enjoyable than this

[@MysticHeather]

Man i so wish I’d had the opportunity to do the trek experience… also so disappointed in this Star Wars experience.. Disney has completely lost the plot
