Disney when they find out that 99% of their consumers can’t afford to spend $6000 for just 2 nights at a hotel: 😱
Especially when that 6k basically requires another 3 or 4k for a cruser pre or post trips staying somewhere else to actually visit the parks. Most people aren't gonna just fly in for 2 nights.
Putting the huge price tag aside, i wouldn’t have wanted to take part in a Live Action Role Play event for 2 days.
Alienating the Star Wars fanatics was a bad choice (I am not one, but even I hear them complain enough to know they don't like the Disney-fied output!!).
@@nicolethompson8613 Oh yeah.
It’s not even that everyone can’t it’s that it didn’t look worth it. It looked cheap.
What I worry about is that Disney may take from this "guests will not pay for more theming" and will continue de-theming the hotels.
Time to switch to Universal my friend
That's actually the opposite. They see that people want true theming, not stickers on a wall. If they don't see that then iger is still the same as cheapskate.
@@yankeesusa1 are you saying we need a haunted mansion or tower of terror hotel?
@@CharBar07 I’m down for a tower of terror style hotel.
@@yankeesusa1 The most themed experience I remember them ever making flopped, BADLY. The suits at Disney may very well take that as more proof that theming is no longer needed to bring in customer dollars. We will have to see if the more expensive hotels start filling up again to learn how far the de-theming trend will go.
6,000 dollars for a family of 4 to be trapped for 2 days in the hotel thing is insane
I have to believe that most of us here are in no way supprised by this. So many of us saw the business model of this hotel and predicted it's downfall right on day one.
What I am supprised at....is that "we" knew this was not going to fly but why did Disney execs and creatives expect this thing to work?
There is a GIGANTIC disconnect between Disney creatives and actual Star Wars fans....and I cant figure out why Disney cant see that.
I think the disconnect was between Disney's accountants and actual Star Wars fans.
@@GLJosh while I agree. It’s not just Star Wars. Look at the movies and shows they’re pumping across their IPs. They’re all doing poorly. Disney is out of touch.
I'd say because "actual Star Wars fans" aren't as homogeneous as some Star Wars fans like to think they are. Including myself at one point.
@@arandomnamegoeshere True Star Wars Fans are comprised of numerous generations based around which movie trilogy they grew up with.
@@GLJosh I'm a fan of all the movies even though I watched the first one in theaters in the 80s.
Yeah, five thousand dollars for bingo and mediocre food while being stuck in a fake spaceship was a real winner idea.
My fear is that Disney is gonna get the wrong message from this. What they're hearing: "immersive theme hotel experiences are not profitable" or "star wars hotels are not profitable"...when what they should be hearing is "we did a bad job at this. We should try again but do it right".
Not sure who they built this hotel for. They priced a lot of families and fans out. Then basing it on characters that the super fans hate and don’t want to pay to see. I am sure they knew this would fail and hence why Disney gave up on it so quickly. The plans for this probably made before the huge box office drops In the movies
Lol for real, the Venn diagram of people who would pay $6000 dollars for this thing and people who like the sequels is 2 circles that do NOT touch
Maybe they should make it more like a dinner theater experience that lasts 2-3hours or a half day option with a meal & half day at Hollywood Studios for Galaxiy's Edge, just using the main spaces and leave the hotel rooms for now. Especially if they brought in options for shows with legacy characters, a dining experience multiple times a day could be profitable. Seems like they should be able to do something with it instead of just abandoning it til who knows when.
I totally agree.
I agree also. I said from the beginning that they should turn it into a character dining experience. They already have a shuttle from Galaxy's Edge.
What I actually suggested was that they offer one or two cruises per week, and use it as character dining on the days the hotel is down. A lot of people who don't want to spend $5000 or two days times for a two-day cosplay experience, but they'd spend a few hundred an a very special themed meal with a chance to do one or two of the activities planned for the full cruise.
seems like a huge waste of money to not do something different with the hotel, like the suggestions above.
@@kevinbailey8827 those are good ideas and I totally agree
So a Star Wars equivalent of the Medieval Times dinner and a show format? I'd be down for that.
If you told me ten years ago that Walt Disney World in the 2020s would be one colossal failure after another, I wouldn't have believed you. But here we (they) are.
Disney HAS to wake up and focus on the family again.
I fear it is too late for that. The anti-family woke culture is embedded in Disney management from top to bottom.
@@Imzadi I have no idea what that means.
@@Imzadi So I take it you're in favor of DeSantis' intimidating businesses if they don't comply to his idealogue culture war BS?
@@kennykistler6735what that means? If you look at the parks most of what you see is middle aged disney fans roaming around.
Everything they do has been focused on those wallets for a while.
There is no way Disney came anywhere close to breaking even on this. IMO it was doomed to fail from the beginning with that price tag.
Agreed and it's absolutely unbelievable anyone at Disney thought it was going to succeed
It cost a billion to make I believe. No way they got that back.
Lololol it wasn’t cheap to make but nowhere near a billion dollars haha.
@@drquinn269 every available report says it was.
@Burke Gerald I don’t think you grasp the fact that that’s what’s been reported multiple times. You act like I’m just making this up. Stop being stupid. If you can.
Even though I am sad this was a failure, I am glad Disney finally had something that was clearly a cash grab fail. I am sick and tired of Disney thinking they can build something like this, slap an IP on it, charge a ton of money to attend it and just expect it to succeed. I just hope they manage to salvage this and make it into something even better.
That’s what happens when creatively bankrupt money men run a company like Disney.
@@spinlok3943 yep. I do have an idea actually with this and maybe Disney could take me up on this idea: instead of having the hotel close and the staff losing their jobs, why not expand this into Galaxy's Edge as an interactive attraction on Batuu and make it somewhat similar as Smuggler's Run?
When I heard the ridiculous price of the Star Wars experience, I realized I no longer wish to visit Disney parks. They have priced themselves out of any form of reality for regular middle class folks.
According to their future Star Wars plans, it's all just a name-grab cash-grab.
I think they could keep it open, have the staff still dress for the theme, make the dining a quick service, have an incentive that quests have fast passes to the rides in Galaxy Edge, and allow stays as long as they want. If the hotel cost was a moderate price, I would go.
They should make it a dinner show like medieval times for Star Wars, and while you are eating, you watch Light Saber battles
Medieval times is great. It would even work for the Muppets. It's that good.
XD I knew this would happen. Seriously, Disney messed up hard with this hotel, ignoring the core base necessary to keep said hotel open.
Yeah I was expecting it, but not THIS soon. Like dang. If only Disney could build stuff as fast as they close them.
I’m not rich because I spend all my money traveling. Just dropped 5 grand on a 2.5 week Australia/New Zealand trip. I would do that again 100 times before a weekend at the starcruiser
As always, you're spot on Brayden, $6000 for a family of 4 on what comes down to a 2-night fake cruise was too much. Even at 30% off it was too expensive. I get it had a whole story concept, but many of the activities were crap like the lightsaber training or the lame button pressing on the bridge. It just came down to the value proposition for me and many others and I think you really needed to be an extrovert and interested in becoming part of the story to make it worthwhile. I think you could easily turn the Galactic Starcruiser into a restaurant with a show that people would happily pay $150-200pp for a prix fixe meal and a show similar to what they did on the Galactic Starcruiser but obviously much shorter and with less guest interaction. They could transport people from Galaxy's Edge to the restaurant the same way they do for the Starcruiser. Maybe even offer some of the activities from the Starcruiser as-is to guests as they wait for their dinner reservation or afterwards. This would allow them to continue to generate revenue while they figure out what to do with the 100 rooms, maybe those turn into offices or they refurbish it into something else.
The problem was the wokeness of the prequels. No one cares about these characters. Nor should they.
@@a5dr3 what exactly is the "wokeness"
@@fatboi62188 everyone has their own definition of that word. As soon as I see it in conversation, I don’t pay attention.
@@fatboi62188 are you kidding
For 6000 I expect to be on a real starcruiser and a trip to the Outer Rim
I remember back when Galactic Starcruiser was announced a few years back, and to say I was excited was an understatement. What we got was a massive waste of money and potential. Hopefully, Disney can find a new way to do super-immersive hotels in the future (perhaps one that has a price people are willing to pay).
Going back to theming the resorts properly would be a good start! I am still bitter about the changes to the pirate rooms at CBR, and they actually themed it, but replaced good theming with lame junk.
It also reminds me of when they demolished Disney Quest and built the NBA experience, only for it to permanently close two years later. I'm not saying Disney Quest would still be popular but it's way better than a giant basketball themed store!
I am not surprised at either of these. Remember that Chapek originally made the decision to move jobs to FL as a response to CA not allowing Disneyland to open. There was a lot of companies doing that during the pandemic. So, now that Iger is back, not surprised he canned the idea for the Lake Nona campus. Given Disney's current financial situation, the law suits, and the fact they have to pay for the rest of Hulu, there was little hope for the Lake Nona campus.
Agreed. They also shouldn’t put this closure on chapek. Iger needs to take responsibility as it was built when he was in charge. I just don’t think it’s fair at all to put all these failures on someone that just had like 2 years at the helm.
Iger picked and trained fall guy Chapek. Iger never left Disney. He is responsible.
Iger quit abruptly February 2020. He didn’t want to deal with COVID. Total cowardice. Hilarious people thought he’d be a white knight riding in to save us from Chapek, when in reality I think Iger will bail soon. And Disney will be in a big mess. I really think Disney’s bright spot, the parks, are going to see significant declines in attendance. They’re already seeing it, and why they’re making concessions. Next year they’ll be tossing in free dining to entice vacation goers. But Iger I believe in only in it for a 2 year gig, and he’s going to leave. I think Disney will be struggling big time across all of their business units.
The mistake they made was not basing it off the original trilogy
Great point really!!! Same with batu
Absolutely
I bet george still has royalties on those characters.
Might have bought it some time, but I don't think it would have mattered in the long run. The price wasn't in-line with the experience. And even if that were the case, it's a once and done kind of thing. Hell, for a lot of people Disney World as a whole is a once and done deal.
@@speedybuilds2878 it would have made it last at least another couple of years for sure.
Probably long enough for it to turn a decent profit.
I can't imagine this having been succesful for disney, probably lost a bundle on the whole endevour.
From day one, I did not have much excitement for the ‘Galactic Starcruiser’ experience, mainly because I’m an introvert. However, I really could go for a ‘Haunted Mansion’ experience, and/or interactive ‘Haunted Mansion’ restaurant. For that, I’d dig deep into my pockets, and deal with my introvert issues.
I think they are slowly learning that the classic stuff sells. I was there a couple weekends ago (first time in a while), and I was surprised at how much 70s, 80s, and 90s themed stuff… and classic attraction stuff there was for sale
To be honest, I think most Star Wars fans are introverts.
SAME!!!!!!!!!!!
I think I actually predicted 2-3 years for the Star Wars hotel. It’s remarkable, but not surprising, since the price on this hotel was insane…as well as the quality of the experience diminishing since its opening.
I predicted the popularity of Tamagachi nearly six months before anyone else. Now I have a family who is clapping and cheering for you!
Wow, Brayden! Heard a clip of your comments on The Ben Shapiro Show today. It’s so cool that your insightful analysis is getting the recognition you deserve.
Seems like crunch time with the budgets before Hulu buy-in. Thanks for the updates, Brayden 👍
I don’t think the Suits at Disney realize that we don’t make as much money as they do. Nobody can afford that!
It was so ridiculous… I’m still curious about who, why and how it got approved in the first place… who thought this was a good idea? Who was this even made for? It’s mind blowing to me
….I have multi-millionaire friends here in L.A. that all went…….and didn’t even blink at the price!! 😂😂😂🤷🏼♂️🤷🏼♂️🤷🏼♂️
@@eddieg6436 it’s not about how expensive it is… is about what you get from that money… I’ve seen videos of every game/experience available and it just isn’t worth it man, I can afford it, I’m not a wealthy guy but I do ok… and I wanted to go… then I saw what it was… you know? Didn’t feel like Star Wars at all… so my question is about everything involved in this idea… so many things went wrong it’s baffling imo.
Another great presentation by Braydon. Braydon, you keep evolving and getting better and better.
Theres no video that I ever saw showing this hotel ever told me this is something I need to do,even if the pricing was a quarter of what it was
This was a slap in the face of all those who heard and saw this at D23! The items that you get on this "cruise" was PROMISED to be every day at the star wars land that was coming.
The Lake Nona project caused lots of flight from WDI. This had NOTHING to do with the FL Gov. but not only to do away with Cheap-ek projects, but as you said it was to try and stop the bleeding at losing WDI talent to other places like Universal.
Hopefully the actors will be moved back to Star Wars land, and they will plan more random encounters in the land.
I agree that the Nona plan had nothing to do with the DeSantis drama. It was a cost-cutting measure that forced tenured employees to uproot their lives and families to move across the country. Refusing would cost you your dream job.
The only people who thought it was a good idea were the accountants who didn’t think about people’s actual livelihoods. I’m glad it’s dead.
On top of that, the creative side of showbiz is *highly* centralized around LA, and anyone who's a homeowner in California (ie, the longstanding, experienced Imagineers) is on the good side of Prop 8 property tax caps so their cost of living would go *up* moving to Florida.
Boy, it’s party time in California right now for the employees knowing they don’t have to move to the pit that is Florida!
@@993mike yup, they are partying by shooting fentanyl on the streets with bums. Give me a break, California is a shit hole
@@993mike lol, with the record crime and record high cost of living in California, I'm sure that's the case
/s
Yup. Also don’t like how the news is spinning this as the gov and fl fault. As a resident, I’m surprised they don’t realize we can see through Disney poor decisions lately. Not my fault.
It should serve as a permanent eyesore to remind Disney to never bastardize a franchise so badly in the future.
Hopefully, this will let the Disney suits know that there is a price too high.
I was lucky enough to do a sold out “voyage” at the Galactic Starcruiser. I came in with very low expectations and was blown away. I always felt like there was story to be part of, people to talk to, and things to explore. The service was exceptional, down to our luggage being packed in our car when it was pulled up. But the staff and actors were beyond. They made the experience special and provided a vacation our 5yo (at the time) daughter will never forget. They all knew her by name by the end of the 1st evening and included her in everything that was happening all while never breaking character.
Yes it was too much for 2 nights and some parts were clearly value engineered but I feel like there was something worth salvaging here.
That sounds like the *old* Disney experience -- attention to detail, personal attention, involved castmembers enjoying their work, all in a facility designed to immerse customers in an experience. Not what a lot of Disney has become, unfortunately. The ideas about a "dinner theater" type attraction, or even just a strongly-themed hotel, may be able to save at least some of the Starcruiser but it was nuts for a company built on the reputation for "family entertainment" to push hard on something that the vast majority of families can't afford and then act all surprised when the numbers didn't crunch the way they wanted.
@@nek0nata there are plenty of videos out there showing all the experiences people had. A lot of vloggers went on the first voyages.
❤Welcome back boss! Feels like forever ♾️. Thanks for the Updates, especially the Star Cruiser/Hotel. We never experienced this ride, and even though we could, we chose against it, life is not always about money, so please people, don’t judge others, Disney is for us all no matter what guests can pay towards there adventure ok. Back to you Brayden 🎉🎉
Thank you Brayden for your amazing reporting! Your objective in depth coverage makes you the best source for Disney News!
I didn't expect this so soon. I eagerly await the defunctland special.
I knew it. The price was ridiculous. I thought it would close sooner. They need to be realistic. Disney would never agree to such a high price experience like this. He would be concerned about those families who could not go
We *all* knew the Galactic Starcruiser would fail the way that it was presented. How smart Imagineers didn't is beyond me. 😩
The blame falls squarely on the incompetent and hubristic Lucasfilm management. It wasn’t the imagineers that decided on the ridiculous $6000 cost of entry.
@@sssspider. I believe they are talking about the truly bad design and not the price.
Great job as usual - excellent reporting. You are one of the very few that speak the truth!
Keep up the great work! You never fail to bring us the most up to date changes.
Thanks for a giving a fair look at why the Lake Nona campus is being cut, Brayden.
Yes the current business climate between Desantis / Disney doesn’t help but the Lake Nona project specifically has much more to do with Disney already cutting many of the kind of jobs that would have gone there and it being another questionable Chapek idea to begin with.
Disney will milk the desantis angle so they don’t look like the bad guys. But it’s all because Disney is broke and hemorrhaging cash and nothing more. California is significantly harder to do business in than Florida will ever be.
No it hasn't Disney themselves has said that it is because "Change in Business climate in Florida" they cancelled. And has explained that it is due to the governor.
@@madselmvig1457 just because they said something something, doesn’t mean it’s true. Cmon you’re smarter than that.
@@frontierlandfrank5314 So there are 2 options. 1. Disney is telling the truth or 2. Some conspiracy where Disney is magically doing bad is true... What do you think I believe in? I don't believe in conspiracies, I am no longer 5 years old.
@@madselmvig1457 what part is Disney doing good? They’re losing billions. Their stock price is down 25%, their movies have either lost millions or broke even, Disney+ continues to go down hill, their programming on Disney+ has consistently lost viewers on flagship shows like mandalorian and their marvel properties. They just took a billion dollar plus loss on a hotel. You’re living in fantasy world, yet call me a conspiracy theorist? Do you not realize there’s tangible evidence/actual numbers out there? Geez you’re not very smart for being older than 5.
I am not shocked by this but I do hope that they could find another use for it and turn it into something that families can use more reasonably.
Hey Brayden, you were 100% on point. Everyone is blaming DeSantis, but this has nothing to do with him. It’s all about Iger’s original plan of cost cutting.
Our trips to Disney typically cost 5,000 to 8,000 for a week+ vacation, then I need to spend another 6K for two nights (for a total of 12K-15K?!?), yet I still have to contend with Genie-/LL, difficult to obtain access to the new rides, hard to get dining reservations, etc. it is no real VIP treatment. It really isn't premium, and for a 15K vacation I want to at least be told I'm special. This is a small hotel, the fact they couldn't keep it filled speaks volumes.
It would be nice if they incorporate alot of these things somehow into the park. They already have it built and with their amazing performers I think it could definitely elevate a park experience.
I am curious how the tax deduction (depreciation) for the failure works if they repurpose it.
I think it was a once, maybe twice & done. Though I didn't experience it, I would rather put that $ to 10 days in Walt Disney World's all 4 parks & downtown Disney & that includes 1st class return flight.
great video as always, thanks for the updates!
Great insight....as usual Brayden, you are right on point!
It didn’t fail because it was too expensive. It failed because it was stupid. Disney cut so many corners on this project.
I think the Star Wars hotel is perfect for a character breakfast. Maybe take your pic with R2-D2 when you enter, then Chewy and storm troopers roam around. We know character meals are popular at Disney so I feel like they should run with that. As for using it as a hotel, I feel like if you still offer the fast passes and the transport, a lot of people would do a split stay there.
Braydon bringing the best when updates happen. It takes time to edit and put together a video. So great job on putting it out quickly. I also agree with your take; it's right on point. Also know lots of changes are taking place internally from my sources in different places of the company.
Once again, another great video. Thanks Brayden!
It would have been nice if it reflected the initial Star Wars trilogy and the trip to Galaxy's Edge was a unique experience. The excursion could have occurred before the park opens or just after is closes - then build a story around the visit.
There was a story around the visit to the park.
Disney Needs to Cut Down ABC News, The View and Live with Kelly & Ryan...
Soon as I heard the news earlier today I started to look forward to hearing your perspective on what’s been happening.
Great job Brayden. You hit every point perfectly. I completely agree. God bless. ❤😊
What MIGHT have made it work: add 2 more days and include 2 other park tickets. But only 2 nights and no other parks… what were they thinking?
The hotel is in many ways innovative and aspirational. Unfortunately, it is not working. The Florida HQ concept had challenges from the start. With the current economic environment, the hotel and the HQ are easy targets. Good job by Disney on the fast failure and on rejecting a bad idea.
Not surprised. Nothing in the Star cruiser came from the movies and the original trilogy was ignored. It was too expensive for what it was compared to a real Disney cruise. I just hope they can figure a way to repurpose the building and figure out a way to use it, like a dinner theater, or just a normal hotel that you can book for as many nights as you wish and come and go as you wish.
Thanks Brayden great video and info.
Shocked, shocked I am … well actually I think the majority of us was expecting this, but not sure when it would happen. I also think many of us have confidence that the Disney folks will repurpose the property to something successful. Look at the old to new California Adventure. But then again, look at Disney Quest to NBA Experience.
Thanks for calling the Lake Nona thing like it is. Far too many people are linking it to Reedy Creek and DeSantis.
Well said!
Good on you, Braydon, for not falling into the DeSantis trap with the Lake Nona story. Imagineers didn’t want to go in the first place, and that combined with Disney’s other financial issues means this was never going to happen. Shoot, it was one of the very first questions Iger got after his return, at the in-company town hall.
Just look at Futuroscope Theme Park in France. They also opend a Spacestation themed hotel last year. It is not as expensively executed, but looks stunning.
There was just uploaded a video of it.
The Chapek/COVID era of Disney Parks - specifically Disney World - might end up becoming the worst in the company’s history. Colossal failure after colossal failure. Praying that they’ve finally come to their senses and start making more customer-based decisions.
This is a warning call for Disney. Disney constant price hikes is gambling with their own future. When EVERYBODY keeps hearing that "Disney is becoming way too expensive, more than it has always been", it can snowball to the point of a lot of people tuning off from Disney permanently.
Great work on the update!
Great job!!! Really incredible analysis!!
It has hotel potential. Just do upcharges for individual attractions.
They got political, stuck their nose where it didn’t belong, and now they’re suffering.
I am convinced 50% of the visitors on the Galactic Starcruiser were influencers, media, or had it comped by Disney.
Again - you're right about the Nona project coming down to money. I know it is unreleated, but they opened Magnolia as a 14 hole course in Dec 22. They were reworking 4 greens as part of the original design...it's no coincidence that Magnolia re-opened 4 holes less than a regulation 18; they ran out of money for that project and had no choice. This is an entity in full scale decline.
Ben Shapiro talked about your video on his show today. So cool! Great job reporting as always 🙌🏻🙌🏻
They might have had more success if they didn’t make it a ridiculous price to stay there.
I have been waiting for you to post a video about this
I would feel so out of place because I wouldn't be recording everything on my phone like it appears EVERY other person is. Every group shot in this video is just dozens of phones up in the air recording. How immersive.
They're going to blame it on Bob Chapek but the fact of the matter is it would have been a success had they themed it after the original trilogy instead of the sequel trilogy that no one likes. This is another failure by Kathleen Kennedy and Bob Iger not understanding the customer and Star Wars fan base.
Nah the issue is it was too expensive
Why not both 😅
@@mohamadmahmoud6926 nope. 5 grand is nothing for Star Wars fans to be surrounded by Luke Skywalker Han Solo princess Leia and Darth Vader. I wouldn't spend $1 to be around Kylo Ren and Rey in the rest of the bargain bin cosplay Star Wars.
A lot of young people think the Original Trilogy is boring, and the prequels are shit so your theory is bull 🤷🏼♂️
Also, the hotel cost thousands of dollars to stay in lol, but go off on Hurr durr kathleen kennedy fandom menace bit 🤷🏼♂️
Could this hotel have been the dumbest idea Dis ever had?? Close. I cannot believe it made it this long.
Disney's mindset reminds me of that scene from Jurassic Park: "We can charge whatever we want. $2,000 a day, $10,000 a day, and people will pay."
Great video as always man!!!
Imagine being a colossally incompetent diversity management hire, that you were part of a team who birthed this ridiculous idea, only to have it financially fail, and nobody gets canned.
This is such a shame. It was a great idea but it was heading for failure from the beginning due to the cost to stay there. Not many people could afford this.
I got to do it a few months ago. It was the best thing Disney has done in a long time
@@ThemeParkPassion It doesn't really matter how great it is, when the vast majority of people can't afford to do it.
@@micahmoore9845 I know. They should have dropped the price instead of shutting it all down. They were too scared to admit that the price was too high, and instead of admitting it, they shut it all down.
You are very smart Braeden. You have some really good observations in this great video!
All I can think- is if you took one of the voyages-those souvenirs just escalated in value-
I think this would have been better as a shorter experience kinda like VR rooms. (I believe it should have been put in galaxy’s edge but I don’t think they would have ever done that). If it had been a sort of experience this for two hours type of thing, I think more people would have tried to experience it and the cost would have been lower/more appealing to an average Disney goer.
Was talking with a friend. Could Disney expand Galaxy Edge over towards the Starcruiser and integrate it into the parks? They (Disney) are talking about investing and expanding the parks, this could be a good use for the Starcruiser. Maybe even for a dinner show or something.
This is what I've been saying too. I have no clue what the layout of the building is but I think you could probably gut the bedrooms to expand the restaurant's dining room and add queues for the interactive elements and treat them like the Harry Potter wand show or Enchanted Tales with Belle sort of things. And then just add more stuff in between to connect that area to the current Galaxy's Edge.
The biggest issue is that it would be another costly expansion to the park that would just be more Star Wars, and I love Star Wars, but I don't think Hollywood Studios should be close to 50% Star Wars. So basically I'd say this should happen, but maybe not until after other park updates, and who knows when that would be.
Expanding star wars doesn't seem to be the best investment imho. They need something to pul in young parrents with kids again.
I was thinking they could make it into a dinner show
Sounds like throwing good money after bad, if you ask me. I think the safe money would be to turn it in to an ultra exclusive hotel with an emphasis on the...as much as it pains me to say it...the prequels. The people that grew up with those movies as kids are about the right age to be having kids of their own now. If it's a success, they can always expand down the road. If it flops, they wouldn't be out much.
This was never my idea of what a Star Wars hotel should be.....I pictured Endor treehouses, Hoth ice caves and Luke's house on Tatooine with a Mos Eisley restaurant and cantina. Even something like Galaxy's Edge would have been fine....Great video Brayden!
Much more concise explanation of these issues than others. Thanks.
Good job on getting todays breaking news up and reported on. Thanks. These equity cast members need to be utilized in Galaxies Edge
Aqreed! It's a great opportunity to plus SW:GE towards the kind of experience we all were initially promised!
Galactic Starcruiser had a lot of potential and generated a lot of interest and eager fans looking forward to it. Howeve, it rapidly became doomed to fail as word got out about it.
When the hotel was first announced, my friends and I were happy and determined to spend whatever we needed to for a stay.
Then we learned you could only spend a couple of nights & not 5 nights or a full week if you wanted, we were "hmm, hold on a minute."
When we learned it wouldn't be an adventure in Authentic Star Wars and West End Games & other Expanded Universe material but would be based upon the fake Episodes 7, 8 and 9 Disney films, we pushed the "NOPE!!!" button.
Mara Jade, and Han and Leah had three kids not one.
@@skaetur1 Perhaps you meant for this comment to go somewhere else. I didn't say anything in this comment about offspring of the Solos or Luke & Mara Jade.
Thank you !! You’re awesome Brandon!!!

Brilliant vlog as always - Kevin & Cyndy UK
Came here from the Ben Shapiro Show. Great video!
I’d rather much go on a 4 day Disney Cruise with 3 other people for the price that they wanted for this 2 day adventure
Great Report! I think you business assessments are very accurate.
The cost of living in FL is far lower than CA. That's the cost savings of having imagineers etc relocated there.
Shame really.... But with that price tag anf no leniency in it, it was bound to happen! 0:27
Brayden! You made it onto the Ben Shapiro Show today!! 🍻
This is great news. Disney sure lost big money for a hotel that is a joke.
I thought Brayden was asleep there for a minute....... Okay nice to see you picked up on the latest Disney news better late than never...... 😄
