When guests visit the Galactic Starcruiser for their stay it’s set in the same timeframe as the Galaxy’s Edge land, where an adult Kylo is running around. So if it’s supposed to be the exact same ship then canonically it’s decades old by the time guests arrive there, which is ancient by cruise ship standards. Who wants to pay top dollar for a stay in an obsolete, decades-old cruise ship?

The troops clip takes me back. I remember setting that up to download overnight in all it low-rez glory. Because that is how long it took back then.

OH yeah, me too. My friend and I scoured the internet for a good resolution copy and came up with a new to us format of Quicktime that produced good quality with out being a huge file size.

So…@Papasan, do folks who spend a majority of their time working on the open sea really want to ride cruise ships for a vacation? 
I always figured Star Trek was more realistic about vacations and shore leave. Everybody wants to get off that damned spaceship during shore leave.

Holy fudge sticks! Honestly I never met one person that sailed/mariner that likes “cruise ships”, ain’t no way a person that was imprisoned in a steel floating city 24/7 wants to party time there. No dude, just no.

I’d have guessed Leia would have preferred Princess Cruises.

Starting at $4800 for two nights this better be much better than I am imagining.

Better than a slave ship, aka “pleasure barge”.

Disney has no clue what they are doing with Star Wars. The people who would most enjoy an immersive experience want A) an AUTHENTIC looking one; and B) one they can afford. This remains neither, and no amount of covering this pig in novel tie-ins is going to fix the flaws.

Their handling of the franchise has been hit and miss, with either near-perfect hits or complete duds and little in between. They should grab someone from the parks/Imagineering division to oversee the whole thing since they’re the only ones who get things right consistently.

I’d recommend this guy. He did good work as creative director for the Rise of The Resistance ride and he’s a lifelong Star Wars uberfan.
