Disney is Turning Their Failed Star Wars Hotel into an Office

Disney is Turning Their Failed Star Wars Hotel into an Office

Disney had tried to launch their own Star Wars Hotel a.k.a. the Galactic Starcruiser back in 2022, but barely a year later they decided they were going to close everything down.

While some fans thought that they would try and salvage the attraction after they spent a billion building it, The Wrap reports that Disney has now decided to just repurpose the building into offices for Walt Disney Imagineering—the division of Disney that thinks up the park attractions, as well as cruise ships and retail locations.

When the experience was initially launched, it was marketed as this kind of Star Wars LARP adventure where people would be confined in the hotel for 2 nights with the guise that they were travellers on a starcruiser populated by all kinds of aliens and First Order troopers.

There would be all kinds of missions and immersive games that people would get to participate in, and there would even be a shuttle that would take guests to the Galaxy’s Edge theme park a.k.a. the Star Wars park in the main Disney amusement park.

Though the idea for Galactic Starcruiser may have been interesting, the whole thing was bashed when it went live, especially for the ridiculously expensive tickets. For a full rundown of just how poorly executed the attraction was, Jenny Nicholson had a 4-hour viral video essay detailing her awful experience, no matter how much she tried to milk the fun out of the Starcruiser:

For now, fans are certainly disappointed that Disney didn’t try to salvage the building, or even just make it a regularly themed hotel; but maybe the people over at the Imagineers could figure out something to do with it besides making it an office.
