Take the shitty plastic off and this is exactly like every other small hotel room in every small hotel in America
except its a small windowless jail
Watched some YouTube guy doing a sleep deprivation experiment in a windowless apartment. They seem weirdly comfy.
I think they should start building housing complexes underground. Make it a comfy bunker complex with "fake" windows in every apartment, and the "roof"/top/entrance can be a public park.
Seems comfy to me,
Cost too much.
This. For around $80 dollars a night, a Star Wars themed hotel might be a cool experience to bring the kids to…for $2500 a night, frick that shit.
>the force is female--k.k.
>we're no longer catering to straight white males---j.j.
Who wouldn't want to pay $6000 for two days locked in a building that looks like an aircraft hangar?
>tfw doing 50 years to life in Supermax Skywalker
Harry potter world chomos are greenlit
how the frick did they not make the outside at least look like a fricking space ship?
because you got driven there feom elsewhere in the back of a meat truck(literally)
you don't see the building as a guest
The building is masked from view. All you see checking in is a little hangar and they do a "Take a pod into orbit to board the ship" preshow thing.
>just watch 2 tv screens as they play a video goy, that will be 2000$
thats where the novel corona virous was created.
LOL
I bet they tried to pull the ol' secret base
Is that the Branch Davidian compound?
They should have left CHAZ alone until it reached this state.
Why were their bodies all next to each other
comfort
Never heard of Jonestown? The ones that weren't gunned down trying to escape committed mass suicide by drinking poisoned kool aid.
Yes I have heard of it, but why were They do close together
Because when you are dying and spitting your guts out dying from cyanide you want the comfort of holding onto your loved ones. Or even a complete stranger for that matter, it's a totally animal impulse at that point. Cyanide poisoning is a horrific way to die, Jim Jones should burn in hell for that shit.
I live ten miles from where he grew up and where his folks are buried (and where they put his ashes)
That 100% looks like a county jail
And they're whisked to their luxury accommodation in the back of a truck. It's almost laughably how people deluded themselves into thinking this whole thing was a worthwhile expense.
Inside the truck.
>feel every inch of the road since you're riding in a fricking trailer truck
>can't talk over the sound of the diesel engine
so immersive...
>Injection molded plastic
>easy-clean airport vinyl
>backlit translucent colored plastic with vinyl decals
I'M IN THE FUTUREEEEE
it's not that, but holy shit that truck is just awful
Holy fricking shit wait a minute. I vaguely remember that interior from watching a youtube vlog. I had no idea they were just riding in the back of a little truck, I assumed it was at least a train or monorail they'd modded or something that was taking them across the park.
wow! it really feels like im actually being transported!
Why the frick didn't they at least try to disguise or decorate the truck? Why did they even use a truck? They ought to have used a bus, then just remove the windows and add in there tacky gay decorations.
Either way you are going to give your wimpy little reddit boys motion sickness because they can't see the road, so you are gonna have bunch of them puking no matter what
It probably pulls up to a jetway that's enclosed by fake windows and plastic and tacky monitors and shit
>Either way you are going to give your wimpy little reddit boys motion sickness because they can't see the road,
Is that really a thing? I always enjoyed that feeling of motion in a car or train or whatever
It's why some people puke if they try to read a book in a moving vehicle.
I guess I'm lucky I never experienced any thing like that. I like riding in the car, like a dog.
Depends on the vehicle. Trains are okay for most people, planes even more so, but cars and buses significantly less so. Something to do with your brain refusing to be tricked into thinking that you are not moving (because you're not walking) when you clearly are, and the more obvious the movement is, the worse it gets.
They freak out if they can't look out a window. I don't get it myself, but somehow the disconnect of being in motion and not witnessing it happen causes them to hurl.
Yes, if you can't get a frame of reference from a window, for some people the unnatural swaying and bumping can make them feel ill. Add being trapped with a dozen other people in a small enclosed, barely-ventilated space like that truck you're bound to get some people breathing into paper bags.
Tbf there's loads of illusions and tricks they pull at Disney parks. The original stretching room is just a disguised elevator.
>The original stretching room is just a disguised elevator.
Wtf is this supposed to be the illusion? I remember that elevator when I was 6 years old, and the hanging lady which seemed out of place in a kids rode
>That's it. The Redditors are there.
should've been a 18+ casino+brothel
Just having all the staff be busty Twi'leks might have been enough to appeal to lonely nerds.
Didn’t it cost like 2 grand a night? No I’m not gonna look it up, you do it for me. Otherwise I’m gonna go off my memory. More importantly, my emotional memory of hearing how much it cost made my feel. A gut feeling I had probably well over a year ago now, if not two, is all the information I need. Star Wars is gay by the way.
Did it? Last I heard people still need to book months in advance and it’s constantly full even though the price is a couple grand a night.
Sounds to me like chud cope.
I guess that's why they are shutting it down, it's too popular and profitable.
they already shut it down you copeing homosexual
>NOOO THIS CORPORATE VENTURE WAS SUCESSFULL! HAIL CORPORATIONS!
it was already shut down because it was so shitty and unprofitable, you demented leftoid
>Last I heard people still need to book months in advance and it’s constantly full
Last I heard, they closed it permanently.
Disney really needs to update shills like yourself, the hotel's been shut down since last year.
>chud cope
>already shut down months ago
Lmao
Dude you got blown the frick out, homosexual.
Because they made it about the failed shitty Nu Star Wars that few people care for, instead of the original SW which most of their fan base loves and adores.
They made my babygirl upset during booking, sat her behind a pole for the dinner show and then made her bored by having to play the stupid story on her phone with none of the actors being aware of any of that. It was doomed.
You just don't frick with The Throne.
Here you go.
IT'S TAPE
Would.
but would you if her...sibling had to watch and/or join in?
As long as the sister wasn't bigger than me, yeah... I can share with the family!
here's my optimized version of that
poor example. ogre fiona is smashable.
You an ugly homie fo sho
What does that have to do with straight men wanting to clap Fiona's green cheeks?
i'd really enjoy this picture if i were an ant
Treating someone with FAS that way is an actual crime. Its not right
This b***h really annoys me.
the movies are shit and soi bois and women are broke and cant pull a sugar daddy to bank role such cringe accommodations
rich people dont want to roleplay nu-star wars with a bunch of randoms
this star goys was for the working and middle class serfs and the nuwars homosexualry was helping rich people apricate it more
I've been there. It was happy novel and fun. Fun enough to melt my bitter and cynical heart and feel like a little kid again. But the fact almost everyone else there looked like Daniel Clowes caricature took me out of it.
This is what I've been hearing. It's fun for a theme park experience, but it's not "several grand a night" fun.
Absolutely didn't help that they insisted on themeing it to the ST rather than the OT.
Because it wasnt a hotel. It was basically a theme park that you got to stay in overnight. Meaning, customers were expected to pay THOUSANDS to come to Disney World but NOT go to the park which is much cheaper and has more shit to do. Its not an exaggeration to say you can take your family on a Carnival cruise to the Bahamas for much cheaper.
This. I really feel that Disney just tried to make a cruise ship but removed the ship so all you had left was a multi-day theme park attraction that came at a crazy cost.
Disney wanted that returning cruise ship crowd like they have for their Disney Cruise line and I think to an extent, they got it but the price barrier was just way too high for casual customers especially when against an actual cruise.
They could have built a cruse ship and made it star was themed for how much they spent on this hotel. Even if they decided it was a stupid concept they could just remodel it back to a regular Disney cruise ship.
Now they just blew 500 million and are left holding there dicks.
No, the investors are left holding their dicks, everyone responsible for deliberately blowing $500M got bonuses and pay increases.
I head some of the animatronics turned on some of the guests and people were killed and it was covered up
the sherif of Tatooine went on a rampage
>I have an 18 minute window.
>Its not an exaggeration to say you can take your family on a Carnival cruise to the Bahamas for much cheaper.
That shit's like $500 for two people, all food included. I haven't cruised since like 2013 but you run a big risk of a deck or multiple deck smelling like an outhouse. Cheap indeed, that'd be $500 for 2 people, INCLUDING taxes and port fees, all meals paid for, free drinks in the casino, for 5 nights, no excursions thank you very much.
>customers were expected to pay THOUSANDS to come to Disney World but NOT go to the park which is much cheaper and has more shit to do. Its not an exaggeration to say you can take your family on a Carnival cruise to the Bahamas for much cheaper.
The hilarious part is that issue is already true for Disney World itself. For the price of going there for a few days you could travel to countless places around the world and have an amazing time. For them to be in that position and then try to sell something that amplifies that issue tenfold AND detracts from the other parks is insane.
They must have really thought that anything Star Wars was so failproof that rich fanboys would be shelling out money in droves.
Reminder that they made an entire in-universe comic series about this hotel with lots of familiar faces staying there
>let’s put women in charge of Star Wars books they’ll be great!
Wow sounds interesting for all 12 people who read comic books in current decade
is it being torn down or just left to rot?
Trillions of Asians live exactly like this they just don't call it "Star Wars Hotel"
born too late to goon in the starwars hotel
>High price point
>Bad reviews
>Limited appeal
>Lack of repeat guests
Take your pick
no twilek hookers
>$6k to experience prison life.
Sweet, merciful Jesus.
>The price for a stay at the Star Wars hotel ranges from around $4,800 for a 2-night stay for two guests, to over $5,000 for a family of four.
Hotels you could book for that money:
>The Ritz-Carlton in various locations around the world, such as Paris, Hong Kong, or New York City
>The Four Seasons in various locations around the world, such as Bora Bora, Tokyo, or Florence
>The Mandarin Oriental in various locations around the world, such as London, Bangkok, or Miami
>The Waldorf Astoria in various locations around the world, such as Beverly Hills, Amsterdam, or Dubai
there are 7 day Disney cruises for a family of 4 you can do for that price. I don't understand the price at all, was it the actors?
In their minds people would gobble up any slop so they were feeling bold and just skipped a few steps with that price because they probably thought it would be so popular that they might just as well put a high price early on.
It was a fricking grift. I bet these israelites sold thousands of bogus reservations to no one to launder money. 100% guaranteed.
>nooooo evil corporate execs are good guys!
no, they’re not this is what they do…
If that was true why would they shut it down?
the irs caught wind
Shit, for that much, you can rent a mansion in Los Angeles and have enough left over to hire escorts to have a drug and alcohol fueled Eyes Wide Shut party.
Yeah, that's the thing, for $5,000 I'm flying to New Zealand for a week and doing all the LotR shit, not sitting in a fricking hotel for a weekend
kek I was talking to a Filipino granny the other day who really liked the hobbit village because everything was the perfect size for her.
Because it wasn't a Star Wars hotel, it was a NU Wars hotel.
This. Despite being absurdly overpriced and generally just a meh experience overall I kinda feel like if this thing had been available like right before Episode 1 came out (before people started to get jaded) fanboys would have been climbing over each other to stay there but by the time Disney started trying to milk the cow everyone had already soured on it.
But they have no one but themselves to blame. If you want to gouge people solely based on brand recognition you should probably try *not* to devalue the brand to the point where nobody gives a shit any more. Of course, you could say that about everything Disney touches these days
Do you know of a single person under the age of 30 who's into Star Wars? It's boomer cringe. A Marvel Motel might've worked better.
They contractually can’t do shit with Marvel anywhere in Florida because Universal Orlando has the theme park rights. Guardians and maybe some obscure properties are pretty much the sole exception because they aren’t present anywhere in Universal.
Because it was lame and it was centered around the nustar wars trilogy which made it even lamer
nobody can afford it
the people who can arent manchildren
Because it was expensive, most parents do not have tje will or cash to pay that kuch for a short experience for their kids, and the adults who like childrens' things do not typically have a lit of disposable income or vacation time at their service jobs.
It was built for a demographic that barely exists.
it looks more like nu-trek then star wars
>MMMMMMM!
Imagine what would spray out of your ass the next day after eating this garbage (dinner not included with the price of the hotel).
God damn. There's a good reason food isn't blue.
rich people love eating weird looking shit
The level of disconnect required to actually green light a project like this is the stuff of a PKD novel.
It turns out nobody wants to pay $1200 to spend 2,5 days in a closed off hotel. If I wanted to be in an enclosed hotel I'd go on a cheap booze cruise.
>$1200
Try 5 grand.
I find it hard to believe this wasn’t by design. It was to launder money or farming for federal bailouts which they definitely got when this flopped. If they were trying to make money they wouldn’t get some dumb moronic feminist to make the most ugly, uninspired and offensive garbage possible, they’d get some artists to make something cool and interesting. We don’t get cool and interesting things anymore though ever.
>Try 5 grand.
Holy frick even worse. Disney execs are fricking moronic.
Ehh. Its just shrimp with some blue dye and dry ice to create the fog effect. Probably isn't bad for you as a singular meal.
>Accidentally eats the dry ice
>Springtime for Iger and Kennedy
>Winter for all the old fans
everyone forgets that while the goyim got the promise of a one 1000$ bailout from the fed, the big boy corporations got up to 4+ years of their average incomehanded to them upfront in the first 4 months of covid lockdowns as economic stimulus. Its why every major corporation was on board with the covid charade.
Disney was undoubtably floating in mad cash and many executives thought the gravy train would never end. There use to be all kinds of social media influencers and content creators who spent all of 2020, 2021, and even 2022 telling people that the covid stimmies were never going to end and they would be the start of UBI and CBDC. 1k a night sounds absolutely insane to any normal person but during that short period of free government money, people seriously believed they were gonna be getting 1k+ a month for literally no reason from big daddy government and corporate pencil pushers were brainstorming all kinds of plans to get that non-existent money into their own pocket.
Because only millennial manchildren would ever stay there and was way too expensive for any millennial to ever afford it
they thought it's gonna be a Disneyland like attraction for families, the reality was sweaty nerd customers who had sweaty sex in their cheap Star Wars cosplays
i have only now just imagined the smell

Nothing says vacation to me quite like having to be up at 7AM just to catch breakfast.
Holy shit, right? If I’m on vacation and someone is rushing me to eat breakfast or pay my bar tab and leave something has gone horribly wrong.
This highly regimented schedule with no free time reminds me of my conscription days. They testify your ability to sit and contemplate what you’re going through so you miss home and civilian life less
Idk bro I was contemplating civilian life pretty hard all the way through my conscription
>scheduled Unexpected Moment
>yes I'd like to apply for the part to play as a stowaway for autistic 40 year old star wars nerds
Day 3 isn't even a day, it's just breakfast and then vacate.
Kek it's not even a full 2 days and people were expected to pay 5000 dollarydoos for that shit.
Also what happens if you rat out the stowaway?
sweety why haven't you touched your $135 Star Cruiser breakfast?
That looks pretty appetizing, but not more than $10.
It looks like fricking plastic
>$10
Try 5. That's just processed, non-nutritious crap.
>continental breakfast at Days Inn tier
They had to dial back the theming so that it was built to code. It's hard to make an immersive scifi experience when you need, sprinkler systems, emergency exits, etc.
This
>See water sprinkler
>Entire vacation automatically ruined
What were they thinking?
It was a fricking LARP inside of a warehouse, and it was way too expensive.
Whats this is reference to?
It was too expensive. That's the beginning and end of it.
>doesn't even particularly look like Star Wars just vague sci-fi
>moronic plastic vents and fixtures that look like any generic shit you'd buy at the hardware supply depot
This does look very star warsey though, o remember admiral blue troony form the expanded universe
I'm not sure I could identify that as being Star Wars just by looking.
sis chewed some of willy wonka's magic gum
Imagine paying 5k to actually live through the Holiday special tier cringe for a whole weekend

It was meant to be a cruise but they canned it after the galaxy edge failed. So they reworked it into this.
Everything about this experience seems unappealing to me and it costs thousands of dollars to top it off.
Disastrously poor planning.
Why didn't they make it look like real Star Wars or make the hotel look like a spaceship?
Christ that is one ugly mother fricker. There are pretty black girls out there but do they really have to go out of their way to find the ugliest ones they can?
>he doesn't get it
No I don't. It's absolutely hideous.
cmon anon, is she really THAT bad?
different anon here but it is really bad
I don't understand why all the Black folk with a darker complexion always must be ugly to get cast. it's like black people are not allowed to be dark and beautiful, pretty or attractive. Black folk are inherently more prone to be ugly but it would be ignorant to say all Black folk are ugly. but the israelites who cast these people that's what they think. all Black folk that get to be on movies or tv shows must look weird or ugly, otherwise it's not convincing
I was re-watching menace II society and that's something like a 91 or 92 movie, somewhere there. jada pinkett smith is in that movie and I was like alright she's pretty tight looking and it got me thinking how come in every other movie when I see a Black person they have a really unattractive face. nose too big or lips too big even for black people
>jada pinkett smith is in that movie and I was like alright she's pretty tight looking
you're already too far gone
You are noticing the difference between west coast Africans and east coast Africans. The US is full of west coast Africans, and they are the "most oppressed group" because that's where they got all the slaves from. They also happen to be ugly as shit.
East coast Africans are the more recent ones to come here, have arab racial admixture and as such are a lot more attractive. The western africans resent the shit out of this, and don't want them to be shown in movies, and claim "dey too white" whenever they are picked for a movie.
Because some c**ts on social media would complain about how only "white looking" Black folk were cast
It's supposed to be a galactic space cruiseliner. Not a star destroyer. They recognized this, and decided to make the ship look like something people would want to go on for vacation. However, their design sucked.
>go on vacation to fantasy world focused on war and battle ships in space
>go on the equivalent of a shitty carnival cruise of the universe
Basically, yes. They really did not think this through
wasn't there a LARP at the hotel where they'd given people coins or tokens like they were secretly members of the Resistance?
How good were the actors at improv? If you just started interrupting their performance and acting like some moron playing your own Star Wars adventure in the back yard would they be able to go along with it or would they panic?
Supposedly all of the actors were told to no-sell/ignore guests who liked/showed support for the Empire/First Order.
just recreate scenes from the classic franchise.
but nooooo, we gotta plug all the recent disney JJ bullshit we got because we get to pay less royalties.
>we gotta plug all the recent disney JJ bullshit we got because we get to pay less royalties
That's actually not a thing. Imagineers who worked on Galaxy's Edge confirmed the focus on Sequel Trilogy shit was only done because KK pushed for it and Iger allowed it when TFA's box office came in. That's why so much of the land feels like a weird re-use of existing things, because most plans they'd been working on for years (and Iger was approving) were to make the land either just Tatooine, or segmented based on different worlds.
Anyone have the webm?
>they painted the whole titty just in case
based Lucas and his attention to detail
It was supposed to RP a starship. But, people go stay in ships all the time. They are called cruises. Nearly all yacht/ship hospitality design tries to remove the 'ship-ness' because people are lame. Why then would building a hotel that attempts to ship-max work?
Now thats a 5000 dollar experience!
If I'm spending that much money on Nu Wars it better come with a Rey escort
You just know the third one would agree to let you come inside her after the end of her shift for 500 bucks
So she's the real minimum wage rey
You'd be eskimo brothers with Trump
why do they carry the long black poles?
>When Minimum Wage Rey auditioned for the role at the Disney Park she only had $11 dollars to her name. When the cast got their paychecks, the first thing that Pure Rey bought was a car. Minimum Wage Rey bought a hot dinner.
I met mini when I worked as a Gonk droid at disney
AMA
She was surprising poised and well trained when dealing with that fat moron.
Can you imagine?
haha can you imagine if Park Rey encountered that guy without the aid of his handlers or her fellow park employees? Gosh darn, it would be too easy for him to put her on her back and get her out of those spandex costume pants! Just think about it, her sweet, cherub-like face screwing up as she feels the immense pressure of his impressive member begin to enter. Beads of sweat run down her forehead and she grits her teeth as she feels her pussy filled wall to wall with moron wiener! She feels an intense wetness beneath her legs as he continues to push further and further inside of her. Her eyes widen in shock as he reaches her cervix, and then her mouth opens wide and she emits a yelp of surprised pain as he keeps going! Finally, her head lolls back and she rolls her eyes in what can only be described as desperate ecstasy. Her feet are straight in the air as he violently mating presses her. She regains her bearing and impulsively, animalistically wraps her legs around his torso. She grinds herself into him, matching each thrust, and suddenly she climaxes. She has just enough time to consider that she's never experienced an orgasm from penetration when her mind becomes like a blank slate, as waves of pure pleasure reverberate throughout her entire physical and spiritual being. Her pussy is flooded, overflowing with hot cum, and this isn't a safe day, but she doesn't care. She doesn't care because the mammoth moron keeps fricking her, sending new shudders and waves of orgasmic bliss and she never wants it to end.
marry, frick, frick, frick
Who would have guessed that the pool of people who could afford to take their children on a 2 day vacation for $6k was small?
Reminder:
>no windows, so in case of fire hide in fireproof closet

WOW, i still feel imersed even when burning to death. That's the disney difference right there.
My Disney vacation ruined after someone sent a racist message to the Star Wars Cantina™ and sent the whole place into lockdown until the Disney PMC successfully returned order from chaos.
>wait for someone to arrive and open the door
How the frick do they not just have usable fire exits dressed up like escape pods or some shit?
well its not like your gonna open a window and let all the space in
It's not like you're gonna jump out a regular hotel room window unless things insanely bad.
>The employees never break character and act like the ship is under attack by TIE fighters as some guy in a wookie suit burns alive while making Chewbacca noises
Probably because it was absurdly overpriced? One of my friends took his kids to one of those and it's just too costly.
would you stay in a USS enterprise hotel like this? maybe to get around the lack of natural light you have a place you can “beam down” to outside that looks like an alien planet, to smoke or whatever. if you want to you can go to the bridge and larp as being under attack by romulans
Enterprise is designed to be boring. DS9 (remodeled) spaceport.
There were plans to build a full-size USS Enterprise in Vegas back in the 70's, it would have been kino, given the time period / location, you wouldn't have even needed to step outside in order to smoke, you could have just lit a cigar whilst reclining in Kirk's chair. Paramount was interested, but they pulled out because the construction company were being vague about how this thing was going to be maintained, Paramount was afraid that it would start falling to bits and would end up as a multi-million dollar embarrassment.
I honestly think it would have been a good idea in the long-run, even if it did end up as an abandoned, rotting derelict, Trekkies would still go there to explore the ruins. Exploring the decaying remains of a ghost ship is a staple of the TV show.
we couldn't have built the nacelles given their weight and how little material actually connects them to the rest of the ship in comparison. Might be the same problem with the saucer.
They would have had to tons of support struts holding the whole thing up, would have looked kinda lame.
Why didnt they just build it in orbit
Genius
Maybe something like pic related.
I'm no engineering major, but it looks to me like those joins between the steel crossbeams and the saucer / nacelles are taking too much weight. The inherent problem is that the outer ring of the saucer (i.e the area with the worst support) is the largest habitable area on the Enterprise, you could probably make it work if large sections of the saucer are just decorative and made out of plastic, but that's a lot of wasted space and it would probably start to warp after a short time.
Seems like you could disguise the supports with some fake trees/ buildings.
That would be a cool way to get around it, you could hide the supports with fake flex tubing and make it look like it was parked in a drydock or Starbase.
Oh I'm no engineer either but I think with enough steel and concrete buried deep enough, you could make it work. It would be expensive as frick and you'd probably have to dig down to bedrock like the WTC bathtubs were.
>start to warp after a short time.
at what factor?
An enterprise building is highly doable. The vast majority of any building is empty space, from an engineering standpoint it's trivial to increase strength and build large cantilevers but your construction costs go up and your usable space goes down. In the current year the decision to build a structure is always economic, never because "it can't be done physically"
>t. licensed engineer
Makes sense, the guy who shut it down wasn't one of the engineers, just some suit from Paramount Pictures who was worried about how bad it would look to the investors if it flopped.
Pic related is the compromise that was eventually reached: "Star Trek: The Experience", basically a Trek museum along with some recreated sets, themed bars / restaurants and a few motion rides. Not as cool as 1:1 scale USS Enterprise, but much better then "Star Wars Land". Getting hammered in Quark's Bar sounds a hell of a lot more fun then being woken up at 7:00 AM to watch some dinner theatre actors dressed as Disney characters.
They could do a great next gen enterprise experience, because that ship was designed to have families staying on board, crew quarters like on the show, meals in ten forward. These days the experience would be ruined by nu trek homosexualry but it's still a comfy idea.
Great question, after all it was only $5000 for a two-day immersive experience!
This would be cool if it was cheaper. Half the fun I had in Galaxy's Edge was going around hacking things with the app on my phone and capturing command posts for the Scoundrel faction.
>This would be cool if it was cheaper
You're probably right. My family is from Florida, every few years we do a big weekend at Disney as a mini-reunion thing. In 2020 we went to Galaxy's Edge for part of it, and while Galaxy's Edge wasn't all that great it was saved by the fact that it was part of the larger Hollywood Studios park as opposed to being its own thing that you had to pay to enter
>the sequel
The sequel may as well be the prison from Andor.
lol
>I'm in a Star Wars movie! I'm in a Star Wars movie! I'M IN A HECKIN STAR WARS MOVIE!!!
The cope of these people is unreal.
You could buy a $400 Quest 3 and go to a Star Wars world in VRChat and it'd feel 100x more real, unless your goal is to feel like you're in a standard hotel room with a bunch of white vinyl gym mats and injection-molded plastic epoxied to every surface
If they weren't ashamed of their homosexualry their faces wouldn't be hidden
This is the sequel. Cram a dozen families into a broken life-size AT-AT for two days and charge them $10K
This guy has a girlfriend. Who guys with him to do his favorite so.y shit. And you don't.

If that's the comparison he makes he should be fighting Darth Vader with his own lightsaber that he gets to take home, then get a medal from Princess Leia or something
If you're going to waste your money on this kindof stuff you might as well commit to it and come home with a story at least
Someone needs to tell these guys what a video game is. KOTOR will absolutely blow their minds.
Honestly they'd probably be better off charging $10,000 but you essentially get to live through a Star Wars movie in a day, with a plot and characters and stuff, like a day-long escape room experience, rather than half-assing it where its still basically a hotel but you can see weird ugly dudes in costumes, and I guess there's like little fetchquest things you can do to get a free soda at the cafeteria or whatever.
The rooms look just like pic related, it would have been sweet to live out the fantasy of being a prisoner just like in Andor.
>[On Program intensifies]
>There's something going on at the launch pod
>the guests that were supposed to leave after day 3 were accidentally cycled back into the park, the whole lot of them...the lot of them were disintegrated...the entire group...
>One. Way. Out.
That plot made no sense. The drama was that the prisoners were cycled back into the same prison? So if they had sent them to different prisons there wouldn't have been a problem? The prisoners would've just instantly gone "I just came from another prison, where I served 10 years for trespassing in the Imperial building. They sent me here instead of letting me go."
They where killing the prisoners once their sentence was up.
>LARP that costs thousands of dollars for just a weekend
>requires loads of 24 hour staff, actors, makeup, and special effects to run the show while also operating as a functional hotel
>based on the movies that killed public interest in Star Wars
>opened during the coof pandemic
Gee I wonder why
Does Megan still work there?
Just look at how depressing and inhuman that pod looks. It's like a jail cell.
>costs thousands of dollars for a couple nights or something ridiculous like that
>tiny, cramped accommodations
>no windows anywhere
>your "experience" is planned in advance and you can't deviate from it
>fewer amenities than a real hotel
Honestly, I know shit about Star Wars, but I remember an old thread about this hotel and it's crazy how the people who planned it are out of touch. "Star War fans who got $5000 to spare" is such a small consumer base I can't imagine investing in this place.
Why is Jenny patreon only now? Moreover why does so many youtuber pull this grift when they reach a certain peak?
My brother took his family. Everything is structured from start to finish. You arrive and check in then you have different events over a few days that play out during the stay. You eat at certain restaurants and build a lightsaber etc.
The problem is that aside from being wildly overpriced it doesn't change from one visit to the next to there's absolutely no reason to return.
Unironically too cringe. There are cheaper and less cringy hotels you can take your family too.
You bros ever been to a Great Wolf Lodge? Those are nice, have indoor waterparks and shit. People will have a better time there than at the Disney slophotel.
Take a look at your own picture.
Is that the 8-bit guy?
Reminder all nu wars is homosexual shit
It was a Star Wars hotel.
>why did the Star Wars hotel fail?
not enough lightsaber combat, to either watch or participate
>battle of poonosis.webm
Napoo sounds better
Yeah, it does.
Because it cost $80,000 a night and you weren't allowed to leave
>$10k/night
AHHHAHAHA
Frick, just looking at this picture is making me feel claustrophobic.
But wait, you get a windowless main cell too
Is that the adult mattress? I'm 6 feet tall, that looks too short for me.
someone post the huge artist concept star wars theme park that actually looked halfway good
People thought it would be fun and quirky until they realized that they were adults who had paid a lot of money to stay in a Star Wars-themed hotel, and the shame was unbearable.
Give me Togruta and Twi'lek strippers and I'd have paid 10x what they were asking for Galactic Shitcruiser.
Not enough brother sister incest.
Is there anything sadder than over 30 childless millenials doing stuff like this?
Why would you spend $5k to sleep in a bunkbed? Also those look tiny can you even stretch out on those if you are taller than 4 feet?
I never understood the appeal of these "immersive experiences", maybe its because of my social awkwardness but it just feels so forced and cringy. I'm in NYC and there's a really popular off broadway show called Sleep No More that's entirely moving from one immersive scene to the next where you interact with the performers. It's really popular and tons of people love it, but I just can't imagine why.
It's like cosplay, people like dressing up and doing stupid shit that they otherwise couldn't do in real life.
I stayed on Disney property once and it's fricking garbage for the money you pay and that wasn't even in one of the fancy resorts.
You can get a far superior room in a much nicer hotel still on Disney property somewhere like the Marriot or Hilton for less money than staying in the Disney hotels which feel like holiday camps from the 1960's.
>jedi training
A bunch of pudgy 30 somethings swinging fragile glass noise makers around. Can't hit the damn things against anything, or the damn """lightsaber""" shatters.
That would be so lame to do for half an hour
It could also be cute training!
Yeah, she annoys the cum right out of my balls.
Looks like a dystopian prison, Demoralization at your service!
>that will be 4k$ sir
They made their money. No point keeping it going.
Who the hell wants to spend time in a room with no windows? The least they could do is put in fake windows that shows space, and you can see planets and asteroid belts as you fly by them
That's what they did.
no cuck chair
>please start dancing
noone posts megan anymore, funny how memes live and die
Paul is undeniably a Chad.
Imagine spending $5000 to take your kids on a memorable Disney vacation and the place is crawling with fat neckbeard manchildren autistically screaming at everything they see and actors are constantly bugging you trying to get you to play along with their LARP when you just want to watch your kids have a good time.
It sounds like a really annoying place to be and if you offered it to me for free I wouldn't want to go.
dont forget about cameras everywhere
All concerts, larping eventing, and etc are ruined by everyone being on thier phone instead of in the moment
Port Orleans French Quarter is objectively the best resort.
The one hotel you can be absolutely sure no one lost their virginity within.
>make an absurdly expensive hotel that will only appeal to an exclusive clientele of rich people who either have children obsessed with star wars or are themselves autistic star wars nerds
>dont bother to make the hotel feel actually authentic or convincing experience to the movies or even really that high quality in general
gee wonder why it failed. honestly strange that they fricked up so hard considering this is disney who pretty much invented the alternate reality theme park. clearly a halfassed plan
The project manager was a women
Sarah Gadon wasn't involved.
Part of me is kind of sad it failed, don't get me wrong they made a bunch of terrible creative and conceptual decisions here but nobody will try this ever again and I think it could have worked with a bigger volume of guests to keep the prices down.
>bigger volume of guests to keep the prices down.
no way, there was barely any space there already
I’m genuinely surprised Star Wars fans younger than millennials. The franchise is
>3 good movies that look visibly old
>3 eye candy movies that are shit and forgettable
>3 movies that are just plain forgettable and boring
The cartoons and shows are worse because of Filoni’s homosexual way of making everything “connected.” There no jumping on point for a child unless they are really into the films and lore.
Child Star Wars fans are like trans kids, you know its just their parents influencing them
I suspect most kids who are star wars fans have parents who are fans and so they're just force-fed (heh) the movies before they're too young to have any real preferences of their own. It's like how kids wind up being fans of the same sports teams their parents like.
And kids are really the ideal audience. As a kid all I thought about was how awesome light sabers and lazers and the alien creatures were, the banality of the plot and the terrible acting / dialogue didn't concern me.
its because of the video games you morons
I believe the answer is Sarah Gadon related.
>expensive as all shit
>forces you to follow an ultra-strict schedule
>forces you to "roleplay" in all of the worst ways while simultaneously not allowing it in any of the fun ways
>heavily themed to push nuwars shit no one gives a flying frick about
>designed for families and little kids despite kids not giving a frick about "theming" or a sense of immersion for something like this
It was really just a combination of being pricey, misunderstanding what its own audience wanted and just having bad luck beyond its own control.
i think the worst part by far was that there was 0 reason to do this again
>"that was amazing, we should do this again!"
said noone ever
Don't know how they didn't see this as an issue. Why would you create a business venture with a finite amount of customers that nobody would reasonably repeat? At the end of two days, you've already experienced everything there, it's not like you could go back and do some fetch quest that an actor gives you and pretend not to know where the item is.
At least with Disneyland there's a good chance you didn't get to ride everything the first time around and you'd go back.
