This is just more of the chaos Disney has been dealing with since the days when Michael Eisner was in charge. So many false promises were made in the 1980s and 90s of attractions that never came to fruition. Eisner became known as the face of false advertising. The Galactic Starcruiser had the potential to be great, but Kathy and her dislike for the Star Wars George Lucas created got in the way. Also, the ridiculous pricing. Seriously who was this hotel for? It certainly wasn't for average familes living on a tight financial budget. When Uncle Walt built Disneyland, his goal was not to make it an experience only rich people could enjoy. The current people in charge seem to have forgotten this very important thing. I'm so happy the Starcruiser will be remembered as a 2-billion-dollar failure and a galactic embarrassment for the company. At this point Disney is like a dying pet that is in pain and needs to be put out of its misery.

I was actually going to go to this, until I saw the commercial that they released. When I found out it was based on only Disney Star Wars I did a hard pass. I cancelled my reservation. Contrary to popular opinion there are a TON of people who can afford this insanely expensive trip. Most of us die hard Star Wars fans (older people who are well established in our careers) would never give a dime to the Disney Star Wars story line. This is another example, more proof that the majority of Star Wars fan are fans of the George Lucas Star Wars arc. THERE IS A MAJOR DIFFERENCE!! Another proof of that statement is look at how few people tuned in to the Star Wars Celebration. Heck, one of the actors said that the greatest thing about Star Wars is there isn't good or evil!!! GEORGE LUCAS SAID STAR WARS WAS ALL ABOUT GOOD VS EVIL. But Disney wants to push their own agenda. They destroyed/cancelled all previous story lines in the Expanded Universe. Now they tease characters from that Universe trying to get the main Star Wars fans back, but it's way too late. If you look at my house, you'll see Star Wars life size figures, and a ton of Star Wars stuff all throughout. I do not buy anything Disney Star Wars related!! I did buy a life size Grogu, but that was for the first season, which was good. I stopped watching Mando because it was too agenda driven, and no longer felt like Star Wars. Disney as a company used to be known for customer service, customer always being right, and providing their CUSTOMERS with what the customer wanted. There were books written that were required reading for managers that talked about the Disney model which should be followed. But then something changed. Disney no longer cares about the customer. Management feels they know what is best for the customer, and they push it hard! They allowed wokeness and children inappropriate themes to permeate every aspect of their products. MANY Parents no longer think Disney is a child safe brand! I am one of them!!! Universal is growing and has amazing plans for the future!! Universal listens to their customers and their park is thriving and growing!!! They have Super Nintendo Land coming soon. Their Harry Potter park is 2nd to none! Immersive experiences like Dining, interactive wand experiences, and real world feel!! I was a life long Disney fan, but no longer. Disney's immoral leadership, twisted world views, and greed is causing them to collapse. Oh, they will be here for a while, but if they keep doubling down on agenda driven content rather than good and child safe stories, they will eventually collapse.

It was inevitable, the instant Disney said that traditional families weren't their target audience, they instantly limited themselves to a super small demographic of wealthy turbo-nerds and status seekers. And they're shocked there aren't enough of those groups combined to fill a hotel? Anyone with a brain could've told them that. In fact, everyone with brains DID tell them that.... and they just charged ahead anyway....

People aren't celebrating this one event, they're celebrating the tide turning. People have finally started speaking with their wallets and are refusing these ridiculous prices. We hope this continues.

I had heard that they would tear it down and put something else in it's place. But it's been running at 25% occupancy, so what can you do? It has a large staff (regular hotel staff plus all the character players) in relation to the number of guests and probably wasn't making any money. I doubt the feedback from the guests who did stay there was not all that positive, either, and the return bookings (coming back again) were undoubtedly low. All hotels consider REVPAR (revenue per available room) to gauge how well they are doing, so 25% occupancy is bad.

In a world of creation and art, One woman sought to play a part. Arrogant and full of pride, She set out to take the reins and ride. A franchise once so bright and bold, Now in her grasp, it soon grew cold. Jealous of the creator's fame, She sought to make it her own game. But in her quest for glory and might, She lost sight of what was right. Firing those who dared to disagree, She ruled with an iron decree. And as the profits slowly fell, She refused to listen and couldn't tell, That her self-insert characters were just a ploy, To make people love her and forget the joy. Now the franchise lies in ruins and disarray, Thanks to the woman who wouldn't stray. From her path of ego and disdain, She caused it all to go down the drain. So let this be a lesson to all, Who seek to rise but then do fall. Humility and respect go a long way, And can make or break a franchise any day.

You completely hit the nail on the head when you said that not focusing on the OT was the biggest mistake. This hotel would have been a license to print money if it had been made in the 80s or 90s.

$6,000 dollars a night in this economy? I stayed at ALL inclusive luxury resorts, VIP access, two bedroom, two and a half bath suites, and that was only $1,000 to $1,600 a night. 6,000 per night for Disney crap is OUTRAGEOUS!

$6,000 on bootleg Star Wars? No wonder they closed. I’m not a Star Wars fan but I can understand why people are upset

Man she really did the whole f around and find out.

Or find out and f around.

For something to fail, it has to have a chance of success. This did not fail. This was pure sabotage to the SW brand

an incredible series of multi-million dollar failures, and disney's management acts as if everything is fine. i think in the end their shareholders will lynch them.

Couldn't they just make it a regular hotel and make the shuttle a regular shuttle that connects to Galaxy's Edge? Wouldn't it be cool to go back to your hotel in Galaxy's Edge? Expend the exterior with a pool and add an exercise room. Put a Star Wars museum. Have meet N' greets with Vader every now then. They could even decorate for the holidays like Light day or May the 4th. I'm sure people would pay 200 bucks a night for that.

Nah easier to wonder why it failed when they spent so much on an interior that makes Spaceballs look more Star Wars authentic.

THE PEOPLE RUNNING STAR WARS ARE OUT OF THEIR MINDS IF THEY THINK PEOPLE CAN AFFORD $5000 FOR 2 NIGHTS! NOT TO MENTION WE ARE IN A BAD ECONOMY RIGHT NOW!

And Disney will blame it on a bad economy and not their outrageous price that wouldn’t have worked even in a good economy.

What gets me is that it's so much more expensive than a 4 day disney cruise on thier newest ship which is just as themed and looks to have better entertainment and food. Sure it's not very star wars, but it just seems like such a better value.

They have a Star Wars lounge and a Star Wars kids area, close enough.

6k and not even 2 Twi'lek masseuses? Armed robbery!

Some other great ideas for hotels: Top Gun Maverick International Hostel (you get to stay in a barrack for only $700 per night) The Titanic Riverboat Casino and Hotel (actually not a bad idea, except for the sinking part) Doctor Strange's Motel of Madness (two fun-filled days of looking for your room) Breaking Bad Motor Lodge and Dispensary (great place to tweak up, but don't try to re-negotiate your bill if you know what's good for you)

I didn’t see the starcruiser coming to an end because I totally forgot it existed😂

Excellent. Keep up the good work, DeSantis. *Parental rights bill

RIP Lucas Star Wars

What an abysmal failure for Disney. So many bone-headed decisions in the creation of this hotel. Disney arrogance knows no bounds.

Not gonna lie, Gordon Ramsay yelling at stormtroopers sounds like a good time

they could have built a complete hotel in the park, make it look like a ship docked somewhere, then rent out the rooms for double the going rate to have a 'living on a ship theme' experience while you spend your day in the park.

In an alternate reality, Disney is closing a failed hotel called "The Galactic Heighliner."

Let me put this entire thing into perspective: You can rent a massive house down in the Outer Banks for a week and buy all the food you’d need for ~$3k

As some from Raleigh I'm dying. 😂

That price.... they may have sold a few more nights with OT characters and locations, but ultimately that price was crazy.

I went to DW in FLA... What a MISERABLE experience... The only people who smiled were the employees who were payed to. Over priced, and the wait for everything was way too long.

If it was actually on a real Star Destroyer where I could use the force and fly a TIE fighter, I'd probably be willing to give up $6000 for a couple of nights for that. In fact, I'd consider that a bargain. I guess I could just stay at home and borrow my friend's copy of Jedi Survivor for a couple of nights and get a similar experience though. Then spend that $6000 I just saved on cocaine, alcohol and prostitutes and still have $5,500 change left over. Actually, that's my weekend sorted! Sweet!

That made my day, It's time for Disney to crash and burn

Watching Doucheney fail is so satisfying, except for the fact that their employees keep paying the price for their "leadership's" lack of vision, quality, and common sense.

The official name of that law in Florida is called The Parental Rights in Education Act. I never hear any media outlets say that.

Kinda warms the heart, doesn’t it? I feel bad for the cosplay actors and other staff, everyone needs a job… but the devils in the details …

I hope they steal everything they can get their hands on when that final day comes.

Can't wait to see the Defunctland episode about this one.

For $5,000 a day there's a point where you can just pay to have a set made and hire some extras to walk around in costumes.

Jeff, I’m joining you at that party where we are setting somebody on fire because that sounds like a party that I have to be at!

You can rent a house in Bali (not directly on the beach though) for $6000USD....PER YEAR. 2 nights at a hotel run by a groomer company based on a theme that hates the fans? Pass.....

Aww Disney thought new star wars has fans The name star wars has fans The kids that disappointed parents dragged to the new movies walked away from the theaters curious how their parents could ever be fans of such a bad story. The 70s iteration has a massive fan base The 00 iteration has a much smaller fan base The 20 iteration has no fans and the biggest budget to advertise. Whenever a major Corp buys intellectual property they ruin it. That's a 100% truth across every single time it has happened

I heard you say Cincinnati Comic Expo and I was like hay...I've been going to that cone since 2021! I hope I'll see you there in 2023!

Well said, brother!!! "I better get Gordon Ramsey in there cooking for me and yell at the storm troopers with me" 😂😂😂 that was awesome!!!

I drove across the US for a month on that budget. 30 hotel nights, across 18 states. Including a return ticket from Europe and a high-end rental car plus gas. You can't do that for 10k nowadays. It wasn't in the nineties, if you're wondering. Let's say Bush Jr. Late second term.

Star Wars WAS American culture... until Disney destroyed it forever

Expecting your guests to perform high-level improv 24/7 is a lot when most of them just want to stare, drool and take selfies.

They hired the Jurassics park lawyer

What are the odds of failure holdo-manuevering across a galactic Cruiser?

I don’t remember if it was canon or legends but I remember hearing about a Red Star Destroyer that was owned by Lando and was used as a luxury resort in the aftermath trilogy, this would be better idea for a theme park than the galactic Star cruiser if you ask me since it will be set before the sequel trilogy so no doubt we will see OG characters return.

The true fans saw this coming from day one 🤗 Good work, everyone 🇺🇸

As a huge star wars fan, I would NEVER pay 5 thousand dolars for something that doesn't even feature my fav characters. 5000$ is like, 25000 of my country currency. Maybe, and just MAYBE if it was the og trilogy stuff I would be it would be a one time only experience. Imagine paying 5000$ for sequels, hell no.

Kathleen Kennedy should be charged for this loss.

For under $5000.00, you could go to Costa Rica for two weeks and go deep-sea fishing, jungle hiking and zip-lining, luxury hotels with five star restaurants on mountaintops and anything else you can think of. Disney could not pay me five grand to suffer for two days inside a fake, concrete spaceship-themed motel. I have a root canal I need to get fixed. I'd rather do that.

I havn't spent a penny on any Star Wars or other Disney product since they announced they were buying the franchise and would discontinue and ignore the Extended Universe. I spent a fortune buying original SW merch. I can't wait until George buys the franchise back for pennies on the dollar, and reignites the original EU

The mere fact the hotel, let alone Galaxy’s Edge, wasn’t modeled of the Jedi Temple or even Mos Esly for Galaxy’s Edge, and contained things from the entire Star Wars universe was a good indicator of just how much logic was used and how aware Disney is of their own fanbase, what they want and what they like.

The freaking DJ....An animatronic Max Rebo and band jamming out nightly would have been amazing!! That's just one of the many ways this thing failed.

Long live the Star Wars Holiday Special!

The fact that the hotel rates were based on more number of adults than children actually staying in the rooms shows Disney is catering to childish adults rather than the children themselves.

Excellent video, friend!

"Out of touch with their consumer base." For some reason this reminds me of a certain beer company.

Anyone remember Star Trek: the Experience in Las Vegas? I thought that had just the right mix of a fun ride, performers, real props on display and then the Quark’s Restaurant and bar… with really cool alcoholic drinks . Every time I was sent to Las Vegas on business, I always booked into the Hilton so I could hang out in Quarks and argue with the Klingon performers (they were fantastic in their role). Great memories. Something like that could work for Star Wars. Keep it intimate, keep it real (props) and just enough fun for the kids.

Love the reference to scott steiners maths lesson at 3:10.a sign of a man of culture

Loved the video, 100% spot on!

For that much money, Darth Vader himself best be serving me drinks.

Nothing fell faster then budweiser..

imagine a huge hanger bay, that is just a hotel where you sleep on different ships...

This is a victory and a massive kick in Kennedy’s ego.
