Okay now that some time has passed and the dust has begun to settle.WHAT THE FUCK WERE THEY THINKING?!?!?
>>214733619priced the dinks while at the same time not being that impressive and coof
>>214733619They were thinking of money.Not how to make money, simply thinking of the money they'd assuredly make.
from inside the Disney temple, it must be hard to believe that anything the company does can fail spectacularly.
It's honestly a mystery. Did they really believe they would be able to constantly book full sessions of superfans for $6,000 for a 3 day stay forever? I took my fiance on a tour down the Amalfi Coast in Italy last year for a 10 day trip that was roughly that price, except we stayed in actual luxury accommodations with fine dining and tourist attractions scattered all over. It just doesn't seem realistic in the slightest that a niche and absurdly expensive product which was essentially just a Star Wars LARP would have any kind of lasting appeal once the superfan market got it's fill, it's frankly shocking they made such a huge miscalculation.
>>214733619Millennial cat ladies thought this was a good idea and they're retards with no life experience.
Most of the people in charge of megacorps like this are all nepobabies that don't have a real grasp on the world because they've never had to live in it. They make huge retarded decisions like this because they do not understand their customers whatsoever
>>214733619really fucking stupid to make a Hotel in disneyworld that has a 2 night compulsory stay, no more no less.People will travel from allover the world to disneyworld, probably for 2 or 3 weeks, and they dont want to unpack/repack their luggage and deal with the faff of moving hotels more than once.Imagine making a star wars hotel that you can use for 2 weeks. Themed rooms etc. Probably be their most popular hotel.
>>214733619Star Wars franchise: “Please Disney, stop raping me! My prolapsed anus is about to rip open and I’ll bleed out and die!” Disney: “Shut the fuck up, bitch!! You’re gonna die anyway, might as well enjoy having your anus ripped to shreds by my greedy faggot dick!” Exactly this, OP.
>>214733619Fish-eye lens to disguise the fact you're sleeping in the broom closet.
>Make the entire galaxy's edge based around the sequels>Sequels are horribly unpopular so Disney abandoned them when it comes to side materials in favor of post-OT stuff>But still insist on keeping Galaxy's Edge themed around Batuu because their pride is just too intense for them to change itAre they just hoping that people might still change their mind on the sequels at some point? They do realize that only happened with the PT not only because it had an actual solid foundation, but had tons of games and shows meanwhile Disney's done basically nothing except that Resistance cartoon and doesn't put out games anymore
>You WILL eat the Felucian Shrimp, Anon
>>214733619Third class on the Titanic had more room than the "luxury suites" on the Galactic Starcruiser.
>>214734832I'm sure people loved paying $60 to pinch out green shits.
>>214734776>>horribly unpopularThey're objectively popular lmao
>>214733683It's been making the news rounds for a while now that Disney has been exclusively hiring "Disney Adults" for the last 20 years or so. Which means there is a very real "lunatics running the asylum" issue plaguing the company, where the company is staffed by literal cultists who bring no outside viewpoints or idea what non-mentally ill people want, and psychologically lack the ability to critique, dislike, or say no to anything their God the Walt Disney corporation and its divinely mandated managerial class does.
They weren't.
>>214733619It was a cool concept which was poorly executed.
>>214734180I really hoped South Park would revisit that scene for nuwars.
Should have been adults only where you can fuck a twi'lek
>>214733619There IS a couple million people in the 1% here in the US... so it's not like there wasn't an audience. They just gave up.
>>214735317>It was a cool conceptWas it really though.
>>214733619It's just an expensive hugbox for leftist retard manbabies
>>214735583is literally every window a 2ft deep hall of mirrors with a one-way silvered mirror?
>>214734851Everyone hates the sequels, mouseshill.Tell Disney they should have just made a normal hotel based on Naboo, Coruscant, Bespin or any other planet from movies people actually liked. Just have the windows be screens displaying the local scenery and you're golden.
>>214735872No, that's Space 220 not the Starcruiser.
>>214735992I hate the prequels and don’t care about the sequels.
>>214734851>They're objectively popular lmaoBeing this retarded
>>214733619There's no dust to settle, faggot.
>>214735992They could have made the whole hotel be inside a skybox so that the simulated windows are all looking out to the same screens with a believable parallax effect. The building would have had to be bigger but the effect would be unmatched.
Clearly, it started development early in Disney's purchase of the Star Wars franchise. They pitched and green-lit all their ideas for how to monetize their new IP, except that they also were dead set on scrubbing any mention of existing Star Wars names/characters except the purely unavoidable essentials. In conjunction with Galaxy's Edge, all of this trash was built around familiar-but-different ideas that would feature the first of the sequel trilogy as its core. I think it was pretty obvious to Disney, that by the time they knew they should shutter the project in its entirety, they had spent far too much time and money to bin it without it seeing its debut.Let's just ignore that this wasn't an isolated incident either. Galaxy's Edge itself is still rather underdeveloped and hasn't been very well received. And adding on the movies, they managed to tank the entire franchise.
>>214736979>they also were dead set on scrubbing any mention of existing Star Wars names/charactersIt's hilarious how quickly they went from this to full memberberries once the nuWars character merch didn't sell.
>>214733619>WHAT THE FUCK WERE THEY THINKING?!?!?nothing just pure insanity, do it quickly now and do it yesterday, you can tell by the white walls and blinding white lights over the bed only the insane do this, looks like theres a speaker in it too. good morning folks dont forget to double drop your blue pill folks
>>214736979>purchase>project>lets just ignore>franchisek
>>214734832>i went through culinary school and now i cook at disney in one of their themed restaurants>oh really anon?! tell me, what's your speciality dish?>.....uh well, you see...
>>214736935Counterpoint: Disney should just make Coruscant. Buy up half of Wyoming and make a mega cityEveryone would want to go see it. Not even disney cultists
>>214733619Simple>retards will pay itThis is one of the rare times they were wrong because $6000 is a lot of money..
>>214733677People working on it were paid the 2 billion upfront to develop it. They weren't paid from the tickets
>>214737606Retards probably would have paid a lot for a weird Star Wars hotel but making it revolve around a failed larping experience for ten times the price...
>>214733619>padded cells>prison style cafeteria>various activities to do inside the facility>understanding staff who listen and play along with you until you're tired and go to sleepit made sense
>>214734832Sanic diarhea
>>214737344Walt tried that in the 1960s and then he died before it could be built. That's why Disney owns so much land in Florida but they only developed a little bit of it. Disney World was supposed to be one attraction that got people to visit Epcot City but they didn't build the rest of it.
Disney adults are a fucking cult and have way too much disposable income.
The big mistake was making Galaxy's Edge "canon compliant" and even worse doing it in the ST that no one gives a shit about. People wanted to see Luke and Vader and Obi-Wan, not some literally who blue-haired sheboon
>>214734832aayla securas poop?
>>214738228Why are they so rich and I'm not?
>>214738228>and have way too much disposable income.that's what happens when you don't have a moneypit called children
>>214738380They're usually burning through generational wealth
>>214738380>>214738390trustfund
>>214738380Most of them are childless and living off handouts (e.g. gaming the system on SSI) and/or still living with their parents so they have few to no actual expenses.
You know it really is kind of impressive. In less than ten years Disney has successfully managed to completely destroy one of the biggest, most popular, and most influential pop culture behemoths in entertainment history. Star Wars used to be one of the big kings of sci-fi media and now it's a complete joke.
