    I'd love to go on that experience but the price is just too steep. A 1 week trip to Hawaii with flight, hotel, food, car, and outings cost me 6400. If they manage to make it affordable sure until then I'd rather plan different vacation. Thanks for your honest opinions and I'm glad you and your son had a good time.

    You know, I'm among the group of fans that were just really disappointed with the wasted potential and lack of a unified story that plagued the ST. While I personally don't think I'd ever go with that price tag, even if I went with a group, I'm glad for your more fair opinion of this experience, especially as a paying guest. I really made sure when I went to GE with my little cousin all those months ago, that he felt that same childlike wonder I had when I first saw SW. Only, he had it better as his imagination was amplified by GE.

    While we enjoyed it and felt that it was worth it, if we were to do it again, we would hope that it would get changed with the original characters. I was 9 when A new Hope was released and while I do some of the new movies, I am an old school Star Wars guy so to be the experience would be much better if I saw Darth Vader, the original stormtroopers, C3PO and R2D2, etc...

      Create a SW "Classic" Starcruiser trip. Part of the backstory of the Halcyon is that Leia and Han had their honeymoon there. Why not use that as the basis of a new storyline? Chewbacca and R2D2 are already wandering around. So, it becomes Han, Leia and Darth Vader. There should be a night excursion to Baatu with a wedding reception/dance at Oga's. And the reveal at the end is Han. I know purists will say it doesn't fit the timeline with Batuu, but it would be fun.

      It's NOT a hotel. If you watch video, you see it's two-days of being in a movie. Or like being on "Rise of the Resistance" for two days - but you can get off the ride and live there. As for the room, I was never in it, except to change clothes and sleep. If you are staying in your room at Starcruiser, then you aren't doing it right. You should spend all your time running around on missions. If you'd been, you'd know it's worth it.

    I'm a massive star wars fan but I couldn't justify spending that much money on a 2 night break. Also it would cost me another 2-3k to travel to the states before it, so your talking it would cost me up and around 10k. Also to put it in perspective we had to get our bathroom refit a couple of months back and it cost us just under 6k, so no, I couldnt justify it.

So if you are a board gamer or a role playing gamer, you will probably have a blast! Having even a tiny bit of backstory and costuming, even just bounding-style clothes, does indeed help get you into the experience. You’ll probably get more out of the experience if you are a Star Wars fan, but a couple of the people on our trip were casually acquainted with the films and had an amazing time because the deep immersion and interactions with the skilled actors!

What justify the price? The cost of costume? The facility fees? Foods and drinks? Or the cost of the screens that replace the windows? Don't tell me don't pay the actors and other employees. Or did we must tip whenever you dining since it's US? It's one thing it's 7 days but 2 days? I can use that money to invest and open small business...

    The only way this would remotely be worth it would be if the theming were based on the original trilogy. There are plenty of conventions where people can dress up in character. You could join the 501st and have the roll playing story line experience. There are lightsaber clubs to practice saber fighting... Just seems that Disney did what they do best which is robbing people blind. // Great video quality and I appreciate your thoughts but it only confirmed my feelings about this project.

    Man Obi-Dad, I don't know what you do for a living, but you must be making serious cheddar. The $1500 you mentioned didn't include airfare or a hotel before you get on the Star Cruiser, so more like $2300 apiece to be fair.
    I appreciate you saying you have to have a good attitude to have a good time at least 3 or 4 times.
    Even though your very good at that, it seems like a red flag. Also with inflation and the recession were in, it's probably closer to $7500 now. Let me be clear Obi-Dad, your channel is a favorite of mine, we have the same passion for lightsabers and I'm and older dude like you.
    I grew up on Star Wars when the OT came out. My wife and daughter went to Disney World for my 51st, I can't tell you how let down I was. The genie+ is a nightmare, and a cash grab, Galaxies Edge was was basically 2 rides(we got on smugglers run)
    Rise of the resistance was broken ALL DAY, so the hotel guests couldn't even ride, and everything else was mostly lame merch and retail shops. They didn't have a saber I wanted, so I got the.Maul shadow saber, and back in March there were zero cast members anywhere. So we spent $1000 on a mediocre experience. Now I've got to go, time to.pick out another 89sabers. Later.

Every bit of criticism about this hotel was fair. On complaining in general, complaining is the only way to get Star Wars into a positive development, since Star Wars is declining. It's not an opinion, it's a fact. And nobody seems to complain about Andor...weird, it seems that Star Wars fans don't automatically hate everything produced by Disney, they only don't like bad writing, overpriced rip-offs (aka the Starcruise) and consumer blaming.

      @@corn.3892 Wrong, I just didn't care for that "Get help" comment. If you hate everything Disney does, more power to you, just be factual about it, try not to have double standards and hopefully have truly interesting reasons. I'm all for a conversation where "we" if not convince each other at least get insights into the other opinion and maybe even get to articulate ours better.
      As for the starcruiser, of course it was ridiculously overpriced. The idea still seems cool, and a lot of effort and interesting ideas went into this (as far as I can tell from videos, since I am also not super rich). Complaining doesn't do anything. Not watching, not buying it, that grabs the attention of the higher ups. Then again, commercial success and quality sadly don't always overlap, at all. Also, it's the way that many people complain that annoys me, since it's usually on a teenager's level, just coming from grown men and women in their 30s or even 40s, some of whom have even spoken about how a "negative" video gets way more reviews and clicks than a positive one. As for Andor, I thought this was one of the best shows (period) in recent years, but I've also seen a lot of Star Wars fans complain about the darker tone, the absence of Jedi and lightsabers. So, not quite so unanimous as you thought.
      Also, let's not forget that a fandom like Star Wars is massive and different groups have different opinions and usually someone is always having something to complain about.

With them, it's the best entertainment event I've ever experienced. Personally, I definitely found the $1500 per person price tag to be 'worth' it.
