Star Wars Galactic Starcruiser Hotel Cringe Compilation

- Опубликовано: 6 фев 2025
- In light of the approaching closing date (Official date listed as October 1st, 2023) of the infamous Star Wars hotel, let's reflect on what made this expensive venture so bad. Here's a few of the notable moments that made this experience completely cringeworthy.
This 2-night experience only lasted 18 months and cost Disney upwards of $300,000,000.
What's even more astronomical is how guests were forced to pay an average of $6,000 for a 2-night "voyage", that of which offered mediocre entertainment and accommodations.

You inspired me, my guy.
SIX THOUSAND for a two night stay? I could buy my own ship for that!
Correct, for a family of four in one tiny suite. Includes food but doesn’t include any drinks. Nor does it include any merch, or park tickets beyond the 1 partial day you spend in Galaxy’s Edge. And you’re stuck inside the entire time.
No joke stop by the beach there's a store or two or 3.. Hells add a kite
Yeah but who’s gonna crash and burn it kid, you?
@@Fungib1e You bet I could, I'm a very bad pilot!
@@wantonmee23 🤣
They didn’t let people fucking eat the food they payed for….
That was an influencer/media event that people didn’t pay for and that was held in one day instead of two. That footage is from a channel called TheTimTracker
@@tayt_ Even if i didn't pay for it, i would be so annoyed if i got my meal interrupted like that
Imagine a world where greed and massive companies didn't exist and star wars was just a great trilogy everybody looked back fondly upon
Bro Timothy Zahn literally already wrote a sequel trilogy in Heir to the Empire. They could have made those movies and made cash, but nope they had to allow a bad bitch misandrist of Kathleen Kennedy to appeal to a very small percentage of the demographic who are not that or even interested at all of the franchise.
Don’t worry, we can just pretend the sequels don’t exist
@@oscardighton8580 It's the late 2000s. George Lucas just announced that Star Wars is ending and that there will never ever ever ever be another movie because he's at peace with his own project. You're a bit sad, but everything's ok. Also youtube isn't monetized and people still remember The Simpsons fondly.
@@missnoneofyourbusiness so sad, that being said, clone wars was good
@@oscardighton8580rogue one wasn't bad I guess
They should have just built a resort where your rooms are star wars and droids are running around instead of this
That would have been decent. A themed hotel that's plainly a hotel, not pretending to be a ship and therefore keeping people inside with busywork, app-dependent activities for 2 days. Just a place to frkin relax & enjoy what there is to do, not run around with some insane schedule. It's supposed to be a VACATION ...Holy shit 😢
And they could have scheduled themed activities for people who wanted to participate.
That way people could engage in their immersive experience at their own leisure which doesn't seem to be asking a lot for that amount of money.
Just this typical American ‘we cheer everything no matter how shitty something is’ is cringe enough.
It looks like a Star Was themed cruise ship for seniors.
as an American I can understand why non-Americans roll their eyes at how much we respond to the most low-brow bullshit entertainment out there.
@@rogueonereb I guess it's either spend $6k and cheer or spend $6k and cry lmao
@@rogueonereb No, Europeans are just serious. I've lived and worked around them overseas. Some will admit that they don't smile that much over there and people don't interact as much and are generally less friendly.
There are several creaters from overseas who make content about things in the U.S. and Americans' upbeat, friendly, personality (minus the big cities) is something they notice during their visits. Don't let people make it sound good to be upset
the worst has to be interrupting dinner for a fake emergency. WTF!!! if i had somehow been dragged to this stupid hotel you bet your ass I'm eating as long as I want. seriously disney has no shame.
I thought it was hilarious when Rey used the real extending lightsaber then secretly but quickly put it down and picked up the regular one while people were distracted by the chandelier.
The most ridiculous thing ever 😂, I wish I would have seen it so I could make a mockery of it in this video lol
@@rogueonereb Timestamp 2:49, you can just see catch her doing it.
It wasn't even subtle XD
Molly mentioned this in her 4 hour video. Now you can never unsee that. lol
Disney: we’re gonna pour SO much money into making a lightsaber that looks like it legitimate lights up like in the movies to make it so immersive!
Also Disney: eh, just bend over and switch to the fighting one, who’s gonna care?
To me, this moment alone is the ultimate summary of how Disney handled the Starcruiser 😂
It’s actually impressive how much everything that Disney has done with Star Wars lacks in any creativity. They couldn’t have done worse if they tried
I’m sure this whole thing woulda last longer if they, yknow, themed it around the movies people care about.
💯
A big aplause to the crew and the actors. They had to work with the lame materials and poorly written "story" given by the greedy douchebags execs and "creatives" at the top of the Disney corportation.
No one at the top of Disney had anything to do with this shite. This is all on the shit actors and crap writers at the bottom of Disney. Probably young and clueless.
And they did very well at it
Like the people at the Glasgow's Wonka disaster.
Pay 6,000 bucks to be sent to the spice mines of Kessel for two days
Smashed into who knows what
That’s sounds way more fun that this
They took the customers away during dinner for some silly game? How much will they pay me if they want me to participate in something like that?
I wonder if they take the food away when they do stupid game thingy
@@hayleymcgough8567 Probably!
I was CACKLING when I saw that part. I can’t believe (it looked like) the guests had to leave their food in the middle of dinner!
this is so incredible soulless its like someone with a MBA that never travelled, talked, made art or anything created it... its pure art to create such a soulless environment from such a rich franchise
Kathleen Kennedy needs to be remembered for how much of a blight she’s been to the franchise.
Take whatever money they have made with KK at the helm, and triple it. That’s how much they’ve left on the table by forcing this bs on the franchise. Look how psyched literally everyone was when Luke showed up for like, 3 scenes in Mando. The hype was off the charts lol.
Idk, I don’t even consider the Sequel Trilogy as canon anymore. That’s how sad they make me.
@@LeftJoystick I don’t understand why she’s still in charge. Everything she’s done has been awful. If it were anyone else they’d be canned by now. But she can do no wrong in the eyes of Iger for some reason.
I feel so bad for the actors
They'll be doing "corn" movies now to make MORE money lol
The true victims.
They were great and were totally into their roles. In fact, it was an amazing acting achievement. To stay in character and ad lib for 8 hours. They were the highlight of the trip.
They deserve so much better
@@jlasfAbsolutely!
I guess Disney ultimately was not able to successfully gaslight everyone into believing this was actually an exceptional idea. I wouldn’t do this if it were free…
I'd do it if I got payed a hundred thousand dollars. Half up front the other half once it was over.
@@iananderson606ugh, I may Do it if I got paid but the stipulation is that I would not participate
Ugh, can't believe how many fought to get rooms in the last six months of its life. It was a ludicrous idea, an attempt at making VERY fast cash without even trying to do anything properly. I saw over 20 videos on this dumpster fire and it didn't feel or look like anything Star Wars related. They could have themed it to Star Trek or Battlestar Galactica and either theme would fit just as well as SW, showing that they didn't listen to the fans. I won't miss it one bit. Sadly, Disney will try again. And again. And when the 99th dumpster fire is put out, they'll just triple and quadruple down on their political crap.
For free i would have a look, but i wouldnt for a single penny
Disney missed out! They could've easily turned that dump into one big game of laser tag.
now THAT would’ve been fun! they already went with the “first order invades the ship” story, why not give the passengers laser tag equipment and have a massive shootout with the stormtroopers?
@@gwp4eva
And it's guaranteed that the passengers would always win because it's established in canon that Stormtroopers have terrible aim.
The whole concept of this hotel looked and sounded like nothing more than just a glorified, Star Wars-themed daycare for families. It's crazy how Disney could invest so much money into something and it flop so badly in less than 2 years. They used to be the trailblazers of coming up with innovative rides and attractions that made their parks world famous. It's why Disney came up with the term "Imagineer" to give to their ride/attraction creators. They were always ahead of the curve.
Now it just seems like Disney is getting blinded by greed, ESPECIALLY when it comes to anything that deals with Star Wars. They know people love the franchise and took advantage of that by thinking they could simply theme a hotel with a bunch of gimmicky activities for guests to do in less than 48 hours and then charge them out the ass. I'm glad this hotel completely failed, but I sadly don't think Disney will fully learn their lesson or even figure out why that was, just like how it was/is with the Star Wars sequels and spin-off shows.
It's things like this that is the reason why more and more people are choosing Universal Studios over Disney World
I actually took a tour of this and someone dressed as Jar Jar Binks screamed “MEESA TAKEA YOUR $5,000” at me and then farted in my face and ran off down the hall
An experience I will never forget
😂😂😂😂😂😂 even if that was real that was still more worth your $ than whatever the fuck this is
Superstar Limo: "I'm the biggest Disney attraction flop ever!"
Galactic Starcruiser: "Hold my blue milk."
Habit heroes 1.0 (a.k.a. the original version which was an all out minstrel show that mocked and ridiculed the overweight and obsese): aren't we forgetting someone?
The more footage I see, the better the 1978 Christmas special gets. I’ll take Chewie’s life day celebration over this😂😂😂
Honestly the Starcruiser is an insult to chewie’s life day celebration lol
That awkward beat when Kylo Ren is giving the audience their cue to act force-tortured 2:26 actually came off in this footage a little better than Jenny's. On her trip, she was the only one who got it, so it looked like Kylo Ren attacked one short woman down front at random.
XD that's brilliant
In just about all the Starcruiser footage that I've seen, even from people who are praising their experience, the children look bored out of their minds.
My son (10) absolutely loved it, as did my niece (5). It was the best thing I ever experienced at Disney.
After $6K+, I certainly hope so.
Even in the very beginning, I saw people uploading videos during its first month of operation. My favorite was a video where a very tall teenage girl was seen in the back of the crowd of guests rolling her eyes like "Are they serious?? This is sooo borring..." I felt her disappointment. The entire video was just 45 minutes of solid cringing.
@@wendellista Did they love it, or did every adult around them implying they should love it do so? (jk, I'd probably have fond memories of this if I went as a kid)
@@mfitzburger5137 I feel like judging by the videos I've seen of the Star Cruiser and from what a friend of mine told me when she went, ages 5-11 were the perfect age group to experience this type of Disney venture. Anyone older, I think, would lose steam and probably interest.
All the money, access to lore, employees and fans in the world....Disney still couldn't build a hotel that even resembled an actual Star Wars experience. OBVIOUSLY this was intentionally created to "miss the mark" and disappoint. Kathleen Kennedy is destroying all the franchises that Lucasfilm created for some reason. What did she witness? What did she endure? The world may neve know
I can never get tired of watching the failure of this monstrosity
Some paid for the deluxe suite... and droids... and light sabres... and souvenirs. Would love to have seen a costumed Starcruiser passenger on TRON.
That would have been an expensive 30 seconds on that ride lol
6:27 Grown ass adults overly excited and creaming their pants over someone standing on a flat airport escalator with the accompanied reaction images LMFAOOOOOO
I really wanted to use “Billie Jean” by MJ for the music track when I did the edit of her going back and forth on the conveyor (as if she’s doing a moonwalk), but yknow stupid copyright gotta ruin my dreams
Gringos are weird people
0:41 That’s about $1K per shoulder bounce! 😂
I am weak 😂
The fact that someone thought this would be a good idea is just beyond comprehension to me, imagine if they had built a real star wars land? I'd have loved to see Naboo or Alderaan, Coruscant so many great places and they decide to do a claustrophobic hotel 💀
Even Star Wars Galaxys Edge (theme park next to the hotel) doesn’t feel very much like Star Wars. It’s cool, but a made up planet called Batuu is not something I as a fan identify or connect with
@@rogueonereb The kicker is according to the original designers it was SUPPOSED to be Mos Eisley during the Original Trilogy era but then KK forced the Imaginears to make it into Batuu and set in the Disney Trilogy because "Our greatest stories are ahead of us not behind us" and Bob signed off on it because of TFA making so much money.
@@muigokublack6487 Bob thinks KK is untouchable and will agree to anything she says. I think she’s out of touch, more like.
And they paid $4 billion for the IP rights that they decided not to use.
@@richardburchetti completely understand how George Lucas feels insulted by the whole thing
$60 and go to medival times
Or any convention
@@MurasaHinotheKigKing Or Dolly Parton's Stampede Dinner Show.
We had a blast at Dollys Pirate show in Tennessee, soo much so that the next year we went to Tennessee we went again. I ended up getting picked for the water bucket race.
That was like 200 for tge four of us and worth evert penny both years we went. I couldn't imagine blowing 12k on the four of us to do nothing at this place and told to get up when the food was served.
Pirates Dinner Adventure is also really good.
@@annieandelsieofarendelle3294 It is. I 100% recommend it
I'd rather have the Holiday Special on repeat, With my eyes forced open with rusty hooks
Over staying one night here
Brillant.
The Ballpit reference at 8:20 is Dashcon by the way if anyone was wondering 😅
Thank you!
I hope everyone enjoyed themselves, for their sake, because I would be just fuming the entire time. I think the worst part would be paying 6k just to have your view blocked by phones and cameras.
@@ronoc9 there certainly were people that liked it. But there were also many that were completely miserable and couldn’t wait to get it over with.
Reap what you sow, Disney!
Walt Disney took out loans and mortgaged his house to successfully build Disney and now this.
I’ve seen some high-quality videos from some RUclipsrs that made it look halfway decent despite them talking about how terrible it was, but the average Joe cell-phone video of it really hammers home just how cheap it all must’ve felt.
They could've made this really cool. Make it like a 3 or 4 night and actually do what disney can do and not cut corners. And totally have made it worth the price. Guess they thought there were enough star wars nerds that 5 pay anything for just the bare minimum. They were wrong
The stupidest thing is seeing people take off their masks in a crowded dining area and then immediately put them on after eating, as if covid somehow less contagious while you are eating. Utter brain rot.
Can you believe that was our lives but a few short years ago
@@rogueonerebygen Russia happened and all of a sudden no one talks about covid. Even at work they slowly said they weren't giving covid time anymore. It juts counts as normal sick day. But listen to the media. They never lie.
the "we've traveled to go to one of the busiest tourist spots in the world despite COVID still being around...but we're still good people, we swear" shuffle
I honestly fee bad for the people who are out of a job thanks to how this was screwed up
Looks like a kids birthday party or some shit 😂
In this moment jenny nicklson was behind a pillar and being teased by gaya dancing in and out of the pillar jenny was behind
😂😂😂😂 can you even imagine paying that much to view an already garbage show from behind a giant concrete pillar? Poor Jenny
Let's see for $6000 dollars I could have an epic vacation in Japan for at least a week or I could be trapped in a glorified mall with video games about a franchise I know longer I care about for a single weekend? Oh I just wonder, what I'd pick in that case.
How can Disney survive on so much flops of the IP and not make the necessary changes to it? It baffles my mind how they are so adverse to profit and making an IP that the fans want.
The outside of the building and the truck is like they didn't even try.
The climate simulation room is the highlight 😂
Had I not known any better I would have thought it was a smoking patio
What the hell did I just watch? I was expecting the dirty nitty gritty details of the Star Wars. Is this basically an on-rails experience where I can't just wander around and choose what I want to do like a cruise ship? Good riddance
3:30…. I’m actively upset for all the people not getting to eat their meal
"Oh no, put your rebreather, we're deactivating the pfizer-shields around the table"
😞
This puts the Nickelodeon Hotel to shame.
God this is amazing, Rest in Piss Galactic Starcruiser. What a waste.
I agree 101%. Rest in piss!
3:11 Poor TimTracker, he couldn't finish he's food. :(
He took one for the team that’s for sure
This is pretty low effort. Like I get the Wonka experience, but this one had the biggest entertainment company in the world behind it. Though considering how low effort the sequels were, I guess it makes sense.
7:08 oh god the MUSIC was the best part here!
There probably should be twilek, ewok or Jawa sex included with that price
that would be peak immersion
Concept idea is cool, execution and price is way off. Nice try Disney...
Darn they could have gotten actual aikido trainers and Vader and Luke
It’s funny how there is soundtrack music on the transport pod. Like it’s not a Star Wars experience; it’s a Star Wars MOVIE experience lol
@@NOWTHATSWHATICALLANGST 😂😂 Disney fails to see the difference apparently. They had such a lack of creative forethought into this whole thing that they resorted to using epic John Williams-esque music to impress people with the lame lcd screen entrance lol.
Can I also mention how the cast member talks them thru it like it’s someone’s first time having sx 😂😂😂😂😂
“All of this is because of you, Savannah.” Was pretty damn funny imo. 😂
It could have been an unforgettable experience if they had created an "OT" (Original Trilogy) themed Star Wars adventure where guests board one of Lando's luxury liners. Imagine it fully immersed in the Star Wars universe, complete with droids, and perhaps an alien or two with a protocol droid for translation.
For the main story, at the end of the first day, there could be a dance-off featuring Star Wars characters, with Lando acting as the commentator. Suddenly, a cloaked figure walks onto the stage (visible to both Lando and the guests, whether by security camera or direct view). As the figure removes the hood, it is revealed to be Leia. She would then say something about seeking passage to the destination of the vessel. After some back-and-forth, possibly involving guest interaction, Lando agrees to her request.
Later that evening, or the following day, guests could take photos with Leia and the actors portraying the Star Wars characters. The next day, during the "Captain's Dinner," Lando mingles with the guests for a meet-and-greet and photo ops, with Leia also in attendance. Once everyone has finished eating and taken their photos, Leia and Lando prepare to leave, but an alarm sounds as Vader appears just as they ascend a railing (similar to how it was done here).
The scene intensifies as a character rushes to warn Lando, only to be choked and thrown aside by Vader. At this moment, Imperial stormtroopers and admirals enter the guest area, preventing anyone from leaving (though, of course, accommodations can be made for those needing to exit). Following a tense interaction between Vader, Lando, and the guests, a hooded figure emerges from the same entrance as the stormtroopers. The figure forces some of them aside, rendering them unconscious, and uses mind control to compel the admiral to leave. The hooded figure then slowly approaches the railing, speaking to Vader, and reveals himself as Luke before using a Force jump to engage Vader in an epic battle.
Luke initially struggles but is encouraged by Obi-Wan's voice, reminding him to believe in himself and the Force. After that point, some of Lando's crew would guide the guests out to safety. Guests would then have time to pack their things and prepare for departure. As they leave, they would see Luke helping them while Vader advances from behind. Luke stays behind to fight Vader, allowing the guests to escape.
As the guests board the shuttle to leave, they might see a small ship (possibly the Lucky strike or maybe even the Falcon) in the distance. Upon arriving at the spaceport on Earth, there would be opportunities to take photos with Luke, Leia, and Lando-possibly even Vader(maybe even Han and Han, though that might not fit perfectly with the story.well and for other stuff to be done on the ship.. there would be pool, a bar, maybe a cinema with star wars movies running, why not a yub nub dance session with ewoks, a comedy thingy with gungans..., dont know about lightsaber trainng i mean having some droids who "fight back" would be nice (static robots who can swing their arms) there should be enougn to have atleast 1/4 of the guests fighting there, have a twilek dancebar also there? (not good when kids are around...) yeah that in good quality shoot be a money printer.
Who wanted to go on holiday to Florida to spend $6k line dancing and role playing in a giant windowless shipping container ?
The people who paid for this were, sorry to say it, but they were easily led and parted from their money.
Disney has been intoxicated on this idea of providing experiences at a premium. That no matter how much they price gouge, people will still pay for it. They’ve done it with the parks and the horrendously expensive ticket prices, plus genie+ and any food/souvenirs. Unfortunately, they really banked on this strategy for the Star Wars hotel thinking enough people would pay this price…..but consumers aren’t that dumb.
It feels these people are like, "we paid $6k for this so we better participate in ALL the cringy stuff (with big smiles plastered on our faces) so it feels like we're getting our money's worth... even if it makes us feel stupid".
Seems like the park got too carried away with making an experience, instead of a hotel. People don't want to have dinner interrupted, or have one tiny outdoor "simulation". They just want a hotel that's styled to look like a Star Wars movie. A few gimmicks here and there are fine. But this was gimmicks 24/7.
2:52 drops and picks up real lightsaber
Honestly, I did laugh at the 'mean old man' joke, though the delivery wasn't great. If he was an entertainer I saw in the park for free (after admission), nothing the matter at all.
I can't believe disney thought this was ever a good idea. This is hard to watch imagine being there
This is what happens when bean counters run your company. They'll almost always run it the ground, take the big bonuses they made by cutting costs, and move on to the next company to wreck. My Grandfather was in business and he told me something very important to have a successful business. He said "If you take care of the customer, the money will take care of itself." I believe that was Disney's philosophy at one time, and one of the things that made it so successful. That era is gone. Companies like Universal are now the leaders. Disney's inept and out of touch management is just handing money to the competition.
@@nathanbrownmolotov8697 I have two business degrees (BS and MBA) and I am in marketing / procurement and supply chain by day. I can tell you that your grandfather is correct. Further on that point, stop trying to tell customers what their wants should be, when your success is founded in responding to what the customer does want. Ultimately, people wanted a reasonable and authentic Star Wars experience. Or, something that warranted a luxury price tag of $6k. This catastrophe was not either of those things. They included characters nobody knew or cared about. Put it in a setting that was never seen in the Star Wars universe, one that was not much identifiable to the guest. The activities surrounding the “role play” experience only worked for a select few guests. The entertainment was lame (no disrespect to the performers, they did the best with what they were given!) and none of the food served was memorable. Merchandise came at an extra cost as well as any beverages beyond water and soft drinks. This is not an elite customer experience that Disney is known for. Walt is rolling in his grave as this price-gouging revenue tactic was not his vision for the theme parks at all.
@@rogueonereb You are absolutely right.
Paying $6000 to stare at their phones. More money than sense.
The most embarrassing thing is that all the guests are grown adults.
2:50 never thought i would see POTO and SW being referenced 😂
That was....just sad. So, very sad. There should be a PhD dissertation in why Disney really thought there were enough people that rich who also liked the sequels that much and wanted to apend two days doing that? Surely, even common sense woukd have told them that group was vey finite. Did the marketing research team really have some sort of scame going on? Did Disney exec say they needed some massive tax write off for some reason? There is not a single thing about any if this that makes even the skightest bit of sense. If they were looking for a theme to do something similar, they could have picked among many movies that oeople woukd have enjoyed dressing up and participating in and enjoyed period oerformances. What about a Pirates experience? A Haunted Mansion experience? Jungle Cruise experience? Anything would have been better than this. Either this was a deliberate failure ir someone spiked an executive boardroom water cooler with the best damn LSD ever.
If the price was a regular disneyworld trip plus around 1/3 to 1/2 the price then i feel this will be worthy of more people going on it. Disney really fucked up.
If this was a four-hour dinner theater event akin to that old Aladin live show they did, then this thing could've worked. But as some larper hell prison you couldn't leave and had to drop several thousand to do so? Oh hell to the naw.
A star wars themed bar/club would be cool. The expectations would be low: alcohol, dance floor, performances & some interactive spaces. They could focus on just making those elements really top-notch, instead of overpromising an expensive whole spaceship immersive hotel experience
In an alternate reality, we could have had an immersive Naboo themed resort 750 a night with the ability to do character breakfast with Vader and Chewy as well as interactive wand like experiences and laser tag but noooo, KK wanted to muck up all potential for this franchise.
Aren’t the lasers supposed to shoot when the saber is ignited? 😂 Come on Disney. Universal is kicking your ass right now. In fact I’m going there in August for my Lil Bro’s birthday.
I bet you my life's savings that those fancy lightsabers they were advertising don't hold a candle to the high quality lightsabers you can order online for half the price they're demanding of you.
💯
This is what we get when the high school drama club gets to take over a beloved franchise.
At 5:30, someone is actually wearing an Akatsuki costume from Naruto! 😂
I'd be hard pressed not to claw my eyes out at the runway show.
I didn't pay a cent for this video and this was just...soul crushing. It's hard to call myself a Star Wars fan when shit like this is what comes to people's minds.
I feel like it had potential but was ruined by the execution. So many people went to it to just video it for social media and it ruined it.
I've been watching these videos every since the Jenny one went viral, and what this whole thing lacked was quiet moments to yourself to be immersed. Maybe that's just an introvert POV but I would feel way more immersed if I weren't surrounded by normal people dressed up in weird costumes (the non character staff). Never realized the whole thing was just a fancy dinner cruise. Thought it was more like a special themed hotel (like the other Disney hotels) where you had Star Wars themed accommodations and occasionally a character showed up to entertain the kids with a meet and greet. Instead they made it a whole freaking high school play lived out, and of course everyone recorded (because they spent so much), which shows how mediocre it looks. Should have just stuck with a formula that works and made a Star Wars themed hotel with an occasional character appearance.
Let’s be honest 90% of Disney parks food is mediocre
💯💯💯
omg i knew it was bad but i had NO IDEA it was THIS bad...cringe indeed - double...nope make that triple cringe in fact! (great video esp for one of your firsts - u got a new sub - and yes Vito rocks! I watch him too)
Thank you! Subbed back 💖
This is not a fair representation of the experience. I went and it was fantastic. Everyone who went loved it. The critics are people who didn't go.
@@jlasf perhaps but you sum it up perfectly cause “Everyone who went” i would imagine also love the sequel trilogy & “The critics” are the ones who love the original trilogy and some of the prequel stuff. And guess who out numbers who?! Yeah the critics do…otherwise Disney wouldn’t have decided to shut it down. It’s all a numbers game and Disney is finding out the hard way that they have failed lately by pandering to the wrong ones…because it wasn’t the price (i mean sure it could’ve been cheaper but i digress)…my wife and i have that kind of money to spend we just didn’t want to. And this is not just with Star Wars but MOST of their IPs and esp new movies and their toy sales ie Indiana Jones, The Marvels and Wish. The proof is (all there) in the pudding and it’s actually getting worse. Their pudding is turning out to be more like a fruitcake nobody wants to try because it is a load of shite.
@@TheFroneyZoneWhether it’s good is a separate topic from whether it was good business. Clearly, it was a business failure but it was also a creative triumph. I lay a lot of the blame at marketing. Price should have been same as Disney cruise. But price became THE story. Terrible ad/PR. Why no SW stars? Imagine Daisy Ridley saying, “It’s like being IN the movie.” Anyway, it’s sad.
@@TheFroneyZone Btw, your analogy between judging the original SW movies and the prequels is incorrect. Most people saw all the movies. They were able to judge which movies they liked and which they didn't. In the case of Starcruiser, most people didn't go there. They can't judge for themselves whether the experience was good or bad. They are relying on hearsay evidence. The more correct analogy would be if fans of the original SW movies dismissed the prequels without even seeing them!
What's odd is that you don't believe the opinions of people who actually went. Why? I am not a Disney stooge. I am not a wasteful fool. If the experience was cheesy and stupid, do you think I would be defending it? On the contrary. If I felt I had been "taken", I would be the first to complain. And most of the people who went feel like I do. Starcruiser had one of the highest customer satisfaction scores of any Disney property. Or simply believe this independent review from The Points Guys site: thepointsguy.com/guide/is-star-wars-starcruiser-hotel-worth-it/
I still don't know how this cost Disney $ 375,000,000 to make ... 🙃
1 million, they stole the rest
Honestly I wish they would learn from this as I would of had a lot of fun roleplaying in a immersive setting. But the way they went about it felt like it was a hollow experience. This can be done, it just needs more work and passion.
If they really wanted a role play experience for Star Wars, they needed to do a separate “escape room” type attraction in the park that you have a reservation slot for, and it takes say an hour to complete. And I agree with you, if this was the approach they took it would have been a lot of fun.
But a $6k hotel stay for 2 nights to do this is not only uninteresting but it’s a complete waste of resources. Not just for the consumer either.
YOU MAY FIRE WHEN READY!!!
Remember the Star Trek experience in Vegas, it could have something like that!
Thanks for making me feel sad. I always wanted to visit Star Trek The Experience but never got to.
This isna $6000 star wars hotel why cannot we interact with ALL thw character of the franchise instead of random sequel guys from galaxy's edge ???
Premium D list experience
Really if you think about it ....
Disney got people to pay 6 grand to record other people holding up ther phones recording them ....
Disney knows how dumb people are and took FULL advantage of that ......
I smell lawsuits galore 😂😂😂😂
That's literally the business plan of almost every corporation, and it works. Never underestimate how stupid humans are.
Is everyone just glued to their phones the whole time between the apps and filming everything was there any actual genuine interaction?
Considering part of the experience is using the “data pad” they give you to scan QR codes and interact with the environment, I highly doubt there’s little time away from your lcd screen. The actors did look like they would make a genuine effort to interact face to face with folks in the atrium during the welcome portion of the “voyage” however.
I am a diehard Star Wars fan and even i find this beyond cringe.
All i want is to forget everything that regards the sequels. ¿Why would i want to experience them?
Kylo's force drag is pretty much a family friendly (a.k.a. no blood) ripoff of Scorpion's Get Over Here spear from Mortal Kombat.
It should be a big role playing game where you can choose sides and also choose whether you want to participate or just observe the fools around you.
The people watching might just be worth the $6k
6k is wild not shocked it closed😂
The hotel was cringe but I thought we left the earsplitting static transitions back in 2010
Guess I didn’t get that memo but just consider it part of the cringe factor
The real cringe is those “left back in 20XX” comments.
