Yeah I've been seeing some of this Galactic Cruiser news in my youtube feed. Things, do not look good. Especially for the price tag they are charging. I would agree with one of the biggest complaints, that it doesn't look like Star Wars.

Very little of the Star Wars movies/TV have taken place in fancy ships. Fancy space cabins are a pretty limited part of the aesthetic thus far.

True, but there is lots of canon to draw from for high end starship design and interiors. The Naboo cruisers, Kamino, the casino planet, heck even Princess Leia's ship the Tantive IV when it was more brand new at the end of episode 3 and Rogue One would suffice as proper inspiration.
Maybe most won't care, but they are definitely losing folks that want to "feel" a Star Wars experience.
Honestly, they should have one that's a rebel ship, and one thats an imperial ship I know which one I would book.
Let you become a member of the crew, they could have taken it so much. Stop a boarding by storm troopers, like lazer tag. Instead of the cheesy bridge shooting down tie fighters ( how awful did that look?) have movable turrets. When you book in you can be in the turret crew, or a member of the ships security. You could do repair work or be a helmsmen. Make it a real immersive situation. You and your family can be having a meal in the restaurant and be approached by a spy. Do you take his mission, or do a mission to expose him or her.
Have a real cantina experience for a day, and take a shuttle down to the rest of the park (They do that anyways). But have an element in your ship mission take place on the ground (Take a package from a spy or something like that.
They could have done an amaing piece of immersion, if they had a smaller less people experience.
I mean that shooting down of ties. the light saber training, it all looks cheap and cheesy, and yeah, the bridge doesn't look Star Wars like.
You could even dress up characters that look like Vader, or Solo, or Leia or Ray or whatever, all you have to do is tell the people that want to dress up, not to dress up as these characters.
I'd pay a bunch of money for a truly immersive experience on a ship in the GFFA, but for 5k or more, this doesn't look good.

The problem with the hotel is they marketed it and sold it as a premium Star Wars experience for hard core fans.
They had a good high level concept, but they executed it poorly. From what I have seen it feels like the project was overmanaged by executives who didn't fully understand what was important to make it immersive and true to a Star Wars experience.
It doesn't seem to approach the quality a hard core fan would expect nor would it justify the price point.

Precisely.
It appears expensive and sucks out loud.

So it's basically the sequel trilogy in hotel form.
While I won't say that the hotel looks cheap for the cost of a stay it . . . .we'll looks cheap. The end result of the light saber training is underwhelming after everything they promised. Its basically a laser in a smoke filled room and a toy light saber.
The bridge doesn't look star wars and when they were showing the game where Tie Fighters are getting shot down it looked cheap and slow. I mean I'm sure the things like food and the room are good, and probably the bar entertainment is good. But at the end of the day it looks like a hotel with a few underwhelming activities and a tour of the Star Wars park.
I remember a few years back in Vegas they had the Star Trek adventure, they recreated Quarks bar. You went on a actually really good Star Trek adventure. It was a typical great job for Vegas.

I think it would be great for casual fans with to much money. But for the super fans who are stretching the budget to make this once in a life time trip work, I feel for them with what the result will be.

And I think this is the folly of almost all content based on these nerdy worlds. They keep trying to cater it too a broader audience, forgetting somehow that there already is a huge audience for the deep details and nerdy goodness done right. It has always been nerds dragging their friends and family kicking and screaming to something like this and then those people turning out to actually like it. Because people like effort and detail. Not expensive low brow crap.
Marvel seems to be the only entity that has figured this out. Lean into the nerds.
That looked awful. Disney *owns* Star Wars, why didn’t they make it look like anything canon from Lucas’s universe? It looks no better than a themed suite at West Ed.
Great movie. Actually amazing movie. The right amount of fan service. It's to bad that they got away from this whole format of taking these important lines from the OT and expanding on them for a singular movie. I still hope some how some way we get that rumoured Boba Fett movie of the bounty hunters all double, triple crossing each other to find Solo in the midst of the ESB events.

Just finished binge watching The Clone Wars. It was a but of a slog at times, lots of filler episodes and mini story lines that didn't really pull me in, but overall I really enjoyed it, especially the meaty parts that involved some of the more prominent characters. I wish I'd have known before I started watching though, that the order of the episodes was out of sequence for the first few seasons.
I'm really looking forward to the two series coming out now. Ahsoka was a very likable character, and it was neat to watch her go from young Padawan, to a Jedi powerful enough to get the best of Maul and also survive order 66. I actually went back and watched her episode on The Mandolorian after I was finished The Clone Wars.
Speaking of Maul, is there a series that covers the conclusion of the Maul/Obi-wan story arc that I can watch? Or is that what they're going to cover in the upcoming live action mini series?

I think I will give Rebels a go now too.
Star Wars Rebels does cover the conclusion, though only a tiny part of that series is about Obi-wan. Maul is a bit more prominent.
I think Ahsoka is great when she appears in Rebels.
