Star Wars: Galactic Starcruiser is set to open in spring 2022 at Walt Disney World Resort, and today with the debut of its first commercial, we get a glimpse of what this first-of-its-kind vacation experience will be like. Check it out!
After you’ve watched this one or maybe 10 times, here are a few fun moments that stood out to me:
- We already know our
adventure will begin at the Galactic Starcruiser Terminal at Walt Disney World,
where we’ll enter a launch pod and head out into space. In this new clip, we watch
out a viewport as the pod jumps to hyperspace, followed by the sudden
appearance of the Halcyon starcruiser, our home base for this immersive
two-night adventure in a galaxy far, far away. - As
we learned last week from Disney Imagineers, the dining experience will
certainly be a highlight of a stay aboard the starcruiser. And you never know
whom you may bump into while sipping a beverage. - You see in the commercial
how the Resistance is always looking for new recruits – but will we choose to
join them? - As our hero’s family rushes
into the scene, you get a view out to space over his shoulder, and then a quick
look inside the cabin. The sleeping berths we can see are reminiscent of a
similar bunk inside the main hold of the Millennium Falcon, no? And
those are definitely some nice robes the family is wearing – they look
like Jedi ready for action! - When the camera pulls back,
we zoom out the cabin’s viewport and into space – where suddenly TIE fighters
dart in and hurl some blaster bolts toward the starcruiser. The Imagineers let
us know we’ll be trained in bridge operations as part of our stay on the ship,
and its laser cannons may come in handy at some point …
