I'm sorry but I'd still rather enjoy something that's actually good.

Oh did they cheap out on that design too?
Because if so it fully makes me want to call it what it is: the vehicle you use to ferry drug traffickers or commit war crimes inside of. I actually had to show during my riffing the fuck out of the soyboy reviews of these things the Hogwarts Express from Universal to decisively pour acid salt all over the stupid box truck.

Rogue Trader and 2nd Edition 40K were actually good as they weren't grimderp but grimdark with sex, drugs, heavy metal and knew how to laugh at itself. 3nd edition and onwards yeah it definitely can be argued 40K gone to shit and turd gurgling.

I went through the whole video showing it off and yeah it's definitely not worth 6'000 and the plot makes no damn sense but the more than likely underpaid actors are fucking giving it their all in a way thats got me thinking like "yo if society wasn't fucked california hegemony world as it was these guys would probably be famous actors" Even the fucking frumpy blue woman's trying her best.
The kroy dude's legit got some fucking robbie rotten energy it's fucking wild
I timestamped that video sent by someone else earlier here so you don't gotta sit through the whole damn thing just to see that dude, frumpy captain, and greedo GF at their best. I couldn't pinpoint the exact moment I wanted so I put it in the general area of where it started

The cope shilling is reaching critical levels.
"Its not a hotel! Its a larp experience for ultra-fans!"
www.fandom.com
I don't understand this logic. The people most likely to pay for crap like this are vapid disney consoomers with money to burn who never even gave much of a crap about SW before Disney bought it, and they keep bragging about how "rich in lore" this gay hotel is, despite that everything in it is based on the disney sequels or some random 4 year old Dr. Aphra crap outside of that one female rodian costume which seems to be the only sw-looking thing on that fake cruise that doesn't look like trash.
The only ultra fans interested in hardcore larp stuff were the RPG guide owners and Fandalorians, and this thing certainly doesn't have anything that appeals to them, much less non-larp fans.
They also try to justify the presence of jedi teaching about lightsabers and the force in the hotel by saying "they're not jedi, they're our original characters the sajai who are much better teachers than Luke and helped Rey with her training!" Holy fuck.
And what's up with her face? Even her eye contacts are creepy, and don't even look like those of Filoni's knockoffs wroonians.
The gift shop's items look about as gay and uninspired as you would expect.
Once again, everything looks like a cheaper compact version of gay concept art.
This looks more like "what if the Tantive IV had a gay bar?"
Also it turns out Doug Chiang is supposedly behind most of the visual designs for this place.
Kind of disappointing since the guy made some of the best and creepiest techno designs for the prequels, but I guess its not too surprising since Chiang is better suited to ship and droid designs.

This was incredibly painful to watch. Even the staff can't give a convincing performance. And the food is somehow even more atrocious and unappetizing than what's in the park.

If you think the dude hired to play the "NOT EMPIRE" guy hamming it up for funny improv moments and bluefrumpcaptain are bad even with the material they're given being complete shit, there's a lot worse acting in the thing. Lightsaber training with the "new better than jedi!" characters acting is horrible as shit to the point you fucking have the pre-recorded yoda audio cutting off the woman's lines mid-sentence and she's just fucking standing there waiting forit to finish before trying to rush in the next lines only to be fucking cut off again. it's like right before the timestamp I sent in the video and it kills me fucking dead.The cope shilling is reaching critical levels.

Also damn I didn't know the prequel design guy worked on the fucking thing, that's wild. Shame it looks nothing like star wars and just looks like a generic space-themed hotel. It'd probably be somewhat cool to stay at if it wasn't didney wars and SIX THOUSAND DOLLARS PER STAY.
SIX THOUSAND DOLLARS, DISNEY! FOR A FUCKING GLORIFIED SOMEWHAT SHITTIER VERSION OF WHAT THE CEASAR'S HOTEL CHAIN USED TO DO WITH CHARACTER ACTORS.

Your 6k-10k cuisine. Even the menus for other Disney hotels don't look as pitiful.
A lot of what's not listed here is mostly snacks or stuff you can get in the regular park, along with regular non-Disney Wars food like pizza flatbread. Outside of the stuff in the main menu here, a lot of the food just seems to be recycled from other non-DW parts of the park or other hotels. They're also still serving a lot of vegan fake meat.
For a few extra grand, you get the "privilege" of sitting at the captain's table...
How exciting and very rousing...
The first item on the menu are these hardened bread rolls that look burnt with some sweet and sour apricot gunk for dip.
Stale bread made to look burnt. Oh joy.
The second item on the menu is these mutated shrimp puffs that look like they were dropped into toxic chemicals.
The menu calls them "felucian shrimp". How original. Just slap a planet's name onto a real world animal. Its Filoni's go-to naming method for all space animals these days, like Loth Wolf, Loth Cat, Loth Rat, Loth bird or Felucian Rancor. At least Naboo's yobshrimp makes it sound like one distinct species out of many on Naboo but this is about as uninspired as it looks. And FYI, Felucia was the jungle planet from Revenge of the Sith.
Then there's these "Felucian littletubes" which apparently taste like shit.
Then there's just mustafar chips. With mustafar being the lava mining planet from ROTS that Disney turned into Vader's home for that gay comic series and Rogue Juan.
Then there's some Chandrilian air cake which is just cake cut in the shape of the hotel's logo. And Chandrila was the name of Mon Mothma's home planet which Disney turned into the lgbtqia trans capital of the galaxy and Kilo Ren's homeworld.
Overall that's the menu in a nutshell. Its either just real world food from some other part of the park or other hotel with no gimmick, some ugly looking thing named "Felucia/Mustafar/Chandrila [insert food here]" or named after something Filoni or the sequels made up.
The only thing of note from this shitfest was a stupid cakepop and that's only because the hotel claims its made by Gormaanda from the Holiday Special, making it the only pre-Disney reference in the hotel outisde of Chandrila which I already said was made gay city and Kilo Ren's homeworld.
And this bantha beef rump also based on Gormaanda's recipe.
So the menu items were somehow even more unimaginative and unappetizing than the ones in the park which I didn't think possible.
Also here's some authentic bags of space popcorn for your authentic 6k-10k larping experience.
The hotel is so awful and has so little to see that I don't even want to cover this barren wasteland.

Imagine your boss going like "oh yeah we made it so you're contractually obligated to eat meals with people who paid more money than the already insane price and since you're like our marketing pitch for this thing you better fucking show up"
The woman playing the fucking captain is gonna be in for some deep fucking shit knowing the kinds of insane motherfuckers that blow money like that lmao
Also, damn, holiday special references beyond life day? Maybe disney will do a shitty re-release of it using youtube footage and then flag down all the youtube footage that ensured it's wonderful mistakes survive and are remembered. Chewie's dad jacking offto a black woman in a VR headset will never not be fucking gold.

You know, if I was going to make some Star Wars food, I'd have gone exotic meats and dishes, using stuff like gator, bison, ostrich, yak, and kangaroo. Gator'd be perfect for something from Naboo or Kamino. Yak would also be a neat item for Wampa or something like that too.
Pair that off with a mix of bushfood items and regional dishes from around the world like couscous, wattle flour bread, tigernut cake, and other odd dishes. Then also have familiar and safe dishes for the normals, like chicken, rice, and beef.
I can definitely tell based on portioning and what they did there was at least one budget cut probably on the menu.

Partially, but it has fish like tones too, which makes it somewhat different. Plus some people will not eat anything unique or new, and need something more comfortable instead.

A lot of people say that it tastes like a mix of fish and chicken, but for me gator has a fishy texture with a unique gamey flavor. The best way I can describe the flavor is as a slight mixture of mako shark and maybe quail that's mostly unique (tastes like fucking gator).

I can't get over this dude.
He looks like Bob Chipman in a really crappy Sith Lord costume. The scary part is that I honestly couldn't tell if he was supposed to be a character in the LARP until I saw him sitting around with his phone. That's how bad things are.

Actually, it pretty much DOES look exactly like that on the inside, but that still looks like a windowless version of a metro bus in the city I live near right down to the hand straps if you have to stand. The fact there are no screens in it is likely to hide the fact that Disney can't actually time out when you arrive at either GE or the Starcruiser (unlike the windows on the elevators) but you go from a giant concrete windowless box to...a jostling smaller windowless box.
I mean, I understand the logistical problems of trying to get people from Star Wars thing A to Star Wars thing B without breaking immersion as much as possible, but at the same time the box truck doesn't even operate on normal roads AFAIK so the timing really isn't as out of Disney's control as I think they'd like to make people think on the subject.
It's not a story that Disney Cast Members would tell you...without charging a couple hundred more dollars to your on-file credit card.

The problem is even the concept design doesn’t look like a spaceship, it looks like a futuristic subway.

Supposedly one or more of wookieepedo's admins are staying there (along with ones that work at Disney). I wouldn't be surprised if the fattest ones and the trooniest ones seen at the hotel are the admins considering they've been updating hotel info like crazy lately.
Unsurprisingly, the blue "milk" they're serving there is still the gross watermelon soy milk mixture they serve in the main park.
Also the hotel is so starved for entertainment that all they can think of to keep guests entertained is to have them play bingo and line dance...
Meanwhile the actual park itself is going to the dogs. No merch, garbage, vandalism, tampons, broken robots, rides failing... truly the happiest place on earth.
And in other news, wookieepedo is even deader than it used to be, with a site that used to have a 100 edits every few minutes now barely getting 50 edits an hour even when Book of Bob was at its most watched. And their solution to restore interest? Delete more content without rhyme or reason and make everything gayer by wasting all your energy into expanding the wookieepedo troon project into the biggest collaborative effort on the site while the rest of your site continues to rot, be filled with redlinks or gets plagued with disinfo to satisfy disequel headcanons.

What happened to the page about the troon clone trooper named Sister? Was it removed because the YA novel Queen’s Hope in which “she” appears hasn’t been released in English yet?

I was actually trying to come up with a way to make the transport work without the box truck and the best thing I could come up with (since devoting a lot of time to this idea would be a waste of effort) was simply using a second set of elevators like those you enter the building in, claiming that because the Chandrilla Star Line is so posh or whatever, they have an exclusive landing zone for guests and a special underground tram that goes directly to Black Spire Outpost. In reality, it would be an installation of one of those rapid airport trains that move people between terminals, just underground. Obviously far more expensive but it wasn't like Disney is buying replacements for their disintegrating Mark VI Monorail trains that they keep refurbishing past their End-of-Service design limits.
But what it boils down to at the end of the day is, as many of the critical outlets have pointed out, the Starcruiser is literally the immersion promised as part of Galaxy's Edge originally, but yanked out into a detached building and behind a $6k paywall. Back in the day, this was the kind of shit you could get for free in the parks.
As it stands, I think the Starcruiser itself actually could have been justified...if it cost maybe $2k at MOST and wasn't more of the blatant money grubbing hustle that Galaxy's Edge was at opening with the utter bullshit of the "exclusive" merch. But I really think it's just going to get closed down or turned into another DisneyQuest like attraction in order to make the most of a bad idea once the operating costs exceed the revenue.
But Chapek probably doesn't give a fuck, he's pushing this Neighborhoods idiocy where Disney's moving into the real estate business. And Disney badly needs the money given the debt Iger put it in thanks to the dumbass Fox buyout and the follow up kick to the nads that was the COVID-19 closures cutting off the main source of revenue for the mouse. And Universal's got Epic Worlds just around the corner...Disney's got fucking nothing.
