Disney Deletes EMBARRASSING Trailer for Star Wars Hotel, Galactic Starcruiser in Trouble!

That lightsaber training honestly looks like the kind of video someone would make if they were trying to mock the concept of people going to a star wars hotel.

For half the price of a stay at that hotel, you could buy a moderately high-end gaming PC, a top-of-the-line VR headset, and a copy of Star Wars: Squadrons, and you'd get a far more realistic and immersive experience, that you and your entire family could enjoy, anytime, from that point on.

All of this stuff looks like things you’d do while waiting in line for a Star Wars ride, not the attraction itself.

This is proof positive that Star Wars will never right itself while Kathleen Kennedy, or anyone like her, is in charge. There was a glimmer when The Mandalorian was running, but Lucasfilm has pivoted right back to their original mindset of "they'll buy anything with the Star Wars brand on it".

What are people going to do in that thing for 2 days? Wave a flashlight at a hole in the wall for 5 minutes, press some buttons and pull a lever in front of a movie screen for 10 minutes, get drunk and watch a costumed, unemployed actress lip sync to some weird music for an hour, then go back to your room and watch the Disney channel for 8 hours.

I can’t believe they deleted the video. They must be like “I don’t understand why it bombed! It was only 6K for two nights!”

I still remember back when Disney bought the rights to Star Wars. I was cautiously optimistic and looking forward to seeing where they would go with the IP. A few months later and all of the great old stories were shitcanned, a few years later and my favorite characters were either dead or old and jaded and now we have this...... This feels like an out of season April Fools joke.

This hotel is such a stupid compromise. Either go all in on making a luxury resort thing to fleece rich normies out of money, or make a dedicated star wars adventure park for the fans. Galactic civil wars and comfort don't exactly mesh, which is why this stupid thing looks like a generic space-mall, not a Star Wars location.

Missed Opportunity Alert: Lightsaber training. You are handed the lightsaber hilt only. You put on a helmet with a "blast shield" just like Luke wore -- and when you put the blast shield down, the VR screen inside it turns on, and you get to actually block VR blaster shots with your VR lightsaber.

One of the craziest things to me is this hyperspace lever. It's being pulled towards you where as in all the flicks, it's always pushed forward. Everything is backwards with this stuff

The lady doing the instructing did what I see all the time now. She gives a description with this fervent push to express characteristics that do not exist. You can't tell people things are quality when they are not. People can tell quality when they see it. Saying things doesn't make them so.

Exactly what I was thinking from the beginning, why not an Augmented Reality/VR/Imagination environment! You had the entire Disney Imagineer staff. All the Star Wars VR stuff has been amazing. Mix that with a speeder bike I can sit on in a holographic room with wind, go eat in a canteena where a Sith starts an acrobatic fight with my Jedi waiter while the Jizz Wailers go nuts on stage, a droid brings me drinks, and I see AT/AT legs stomp outside the window, then I sleep in a treehouse in Kashyyk. That's a Star Wars experience worth that much.

6 grand to press lit up buttons and pull levers to change a screen. fucking epic

"Let me get 10 margaritas and we're going to hyperspace" 🤣🤣🤣

For $6,000 they could have made that lightsaber thing VR. I mean Luke was wearing something similar to that of a VR headset during his actual training.

Disney, the largest international multimedia corporation on earth: "hey our commercial for this hokey all-inclusive resort thing, should we hire like, a good actor who is talented at acting?" the same Disney, who has multimillion dollar contracts with every movie star that has appeared specifically in the franchise they're making a hokey all-inclusive resort around: "nah"

To recreate that shitty, overpriced Lightsaber training experience, just buy a cheap Lightsaber and have a friend with a laser pointer stand in front of you and shine the light at random places lmao

Don't forget, it'll be 20 dollar drinks, 40 dollars for pictures with shitty plastic frames, 300 dollars to keep the lightsaber and 200 dollars to keep the rented costumes

That was abhorrent. Holy shit, I almost hate all of Star Wars now. Jesus Christ. The singing made me want to crawl into a corner and just die. Never have and never will go to galaxy’s edge. Ugh.

Now I just want to watch Battlestar Galactica TV show again.

I think Disney really underestimated the type of immersive experience a Star Wars fan would demand. Unless they make it look more realistic, people will not spend the money on it. I wouldn’t.

I think we should start a go fund me for Vito and raise $6000 to send him to this….. and let the hilarity ensue.

The panel at 7:02 is so low to the ground that it looks like when you press one of the buttons it's going to go "The cow goes moo!"

You know what would be more fun than spending $6000 on this? Keeping $6000. Literally, staying home and doing nothing at all would be a better experience.

The old arcade game that puts you in a literal cockpit looks like it cost more than that shitty mini game.

It’s a never ending cycle of great ideas with cartoonishly poor execution.

This is something you'd find in a children's museum.

6k for pressing buttons in the world's most boring arcade, and standing still with a generic looking "lightsaber" Im not taking into account accommodation, food or anything else that you can find in any hotel ever for way less. Just the supposedly "Disney experience" your top dollar is paying for

I wonder why dislikes are hidden... Maybe Disney will finally realize seeing them doesn't markedly encourage people to dislike things. If they dislike it, they will dislike it. Why did you cater to these fools YT?

"I would love to take you to hyperspace" "Well give that lever a strong pull"

Vito I'd like to point out that in 2017 my wife and I went on our honeymoon to Europe. We went to Rome, London, Dublin, did lots of touristy things (literally all of the sites in Rome, Cliffs of Moher, Giants Causeway, Buckingham Palace tour, the Guinness factory, Harry Potter studio set in Oxford) ate out every night, had concierge to and from airports, and had eight flights between the two of us (Toronto to Rome, Rome to London, London to Dublin, Dublin to Toronto). It cost us about $5,500 for a 14-day stay, two travel days. Or you can drop $6K for two days of this crap.

Between videos about the hotel and comments under those videos, I’ve heard so many interesting and compelling ideas for an immersive SW experience. Yet THIS is what Disney is sinking millions of dollars into. They didn’t try. At all. Absolutely zero effort. I feel so bad for all the people who worked on it. Surely they were equally disappointed? How could you be tasked with creating an intentionally subpar product and not feel bad about it? The talent at Disney aren’t idiots. They’re highly regarded professionals. It’s not they’re fault the decisions get made by people with no imagination and dollar signs in their eyes.

The roundness of everything is probably for safety reasons. (Doesn't make it any less lame)

For 6K each experience should be individual. You should have your own jarjar in full costume following around making shitty jokes

By far the funniest thing I’ve seen come from Disney’s Star Wars and I’m not sure that’s what they had intended? Lol

For 6000 dollars I can buy a VR set to play Beat Saber and still have more fun than this.

These "Star Wars" consoles look like something from the Buck Rodgers show from the 80s. Total trash!

As a traveler who has went to multiple hotels. I would pay 300 for one night over there. And because they made this so embarrassing, I'd have to bump it down to 100 a night just for a laugh. I would rather sleep at the gas station like a hobo.

This seems like the kind of thing that's perfect for people who proudly collect FunkoPops

so Disney instead of calling the folks from ILM ,or the LucasFilms prop shop they just called the guys that do set dressing for the disney TV movies and ask them to do a generic SCI-FI setting so they can ask 6 grands for a mediocre laser tag game, a FMV shooter and a alcohol-less cantina that last for 2 days... the entrance should be an Endor themed arrival, in which you get into a IMPERIAL shuttle (is just a thing that isolates you from the real world) so people should be doing vacation on the death star, defending the station from rebel fighters, RIDING AT-ATs droping into a planet and shooting down the enemy with heavy artillery and children playing with Darth Vader and doing drills and blaster practice with stormtroopers. blowing up planets are equivalent to fireworks and Tarkin is the Host of the experience because they can use make-up and cgi video, see the life of Darth Pleguis adapted to Opera with a narration from the Emperor himself (something that requires effort this is a 6000USD experience and people want star wars on their star wars experience)... Just a reminder the only new content from Disney sequel trilogy are Galaxy edge, that fake cruiser ship that goes nowhere and the still unsold ticco and holdo figures that stores can't see a way to get rid of those... the future is horrible

I'm pretty sure you can't be unethical about making fun of a mega corporation. It's a mega corporation. It's probably mandatory to make fun of it to even be ethical.

That video game was what we had in 1980. Forty years ago.

I'd never pay that kind of money for a weekend, but if I had money to burn, I'd like to play as a storm trooper on an empire battle cruiser - with live action performances - I'd like to be the guy on the console listening in Darth Vader berating some captain on not being able to catch the millennium falcon. And someone would be like - you there, pointing at me, what's the radar showing or open communications to hq - and I push a button and something cool happens - like a hologram communication with the emperor. Than we get to like guard shit, train to walk through doorways without hitting our head, than we can actually take place in chasing rebels on the ship, shoot them and then be killed off. And next day it's a different adventure on the battle cruiser - that would be awesome. I would totally pay to be a grunt on a ship, just doing storm trooper stuff - with live performances going all around me - like I was in the movie.

I feel like a hotel themed like 500 Republica, Kamino, or Cloud City for a smaller price tag would go over way better. Heck, I’d go the extra mile, and have one for each trilogy at a different park. For the Prequels you could have 500 Republica, for Original, Cloud City, and Sequels, The Colossus.

I still don't understand how does the "weekend" work into this. So what, do you each get a handler, or are you free to do all the activities as you please? Or is it like a schedule.... like 7 a.m. to 7.30 a.m. - light saber training, then 2 hours of nothing, then 9.a.m. - 9.30 a.m. button pressing, than 2 hours of free time, than 11 a.m. to 11:30 a.m. - defending the ship. Than 2 hours of nothing, than again 1 p.m. - 1:30 p.m. - going into hyperspace, than 2 hours for lunch - and then 3 p.m. - 3:30 p.m. a twi'lek song and then off to bed, shows over. What if you like to sleep till noon - do you lose your spot at some attractions? I'd hate to miss out on my half hour of button pressing. Or maybe is it like free roam? You can do whatever you want, as long as it's not occupied. So if a family of 6 keeps hogging the light saber training - what do you do then? Do you like wait in line, or does some handler tell them - all right children, stop training now and go to the button pressing activity.... what if all the activities are full or you've done them to death. You are there for 2 days ,and it seems like you'd be done with all the activities in like 2 hours. What do you then? Is there like all you can eat cantina ? So you can spend 8 hours getting your moneys worth munching some star wars sounding salad? Are you allowed to leave the cruiser to enjoy the park, or are you locked in for 2 days. You WILL help us defend the cruiser. You WILL like it. You Will do it again and again. If you are allowed to leave, why should you spend 6 thousand dollars for a hotel, whit like 5 minutes worth of entertainment and not just stay in a regular hotel. What if all the customers that booked the rooms, don't want to press buttons or go into hyperspace at all... are they forced, or do they allow people from the outside to play with the buttons? And if so, why should anyone pay for the hotel...

Disney has nerfed everything about Star Wars to the point where its unrecognisable.

This goes to show you what happens when Star Wars is made by people who couldnt give a shit about this epic universe they own?! And holy shit $6000 wow, shows how out of touch the higher ups are.

Their rides look better than the hotel, I don't know if it was an after thought, or they bought the props used... A VR or augmented reality hotel would be wicked, but that takes imagination and work. Disney doesn't do that. They could gave done so much better, at a reasonably affordable price. Even rainforest cafe has better scenery. West Edmonton Mall, has better stuff... hell Callaway park circa 1993 had better theming. It looked Flintstones esque with loads of plaster and fibreglass moldings. I have seen minigolf places with better stuff. This is just crap. I would expect this at a budget themed hotel not THE Star Wars hotel.

If you have visited Galaxies Edge you know that the Disney imagineers have never watched a Star Wars movie. They read a Wikipedia page and do a quick Google image search and then let their imagination do the rest. For anybody who hasn't visited Galaxies Edge.... It's a shopping mall that has a generic Star Wars coat of paint. It reminds me of the Rain Forest cafe.

At the end of US Naval training, recruits must participate in a 12 hour damage control simulation on board a replica of a naval destroyer vessel. The simulation is called "Battle Stations." Disney could have done some SOME comparative research and learned about this naval training experience and imported some of the concepts and ideas into THEIR immerssive experience. I mean, imagine participating in a half-hour long scenario where various strangers must come together to work various stations of the simulated starship in order to "save it"?

Disney and Star Wars both need new leadership.

Disney thought money was going to come in by the boatload. Well, they thought wrong.

I guess the whole interior is "inspired" by BB-8, hence all the roundness and orange/white color scheme. It was only supposed to be one of the many different "deluxe" or whatever rooms so someone must have said "why stop at one room when we can do it everywhere!!!, then hit themselves on the head, slammed a pie in their face and ran through the wall leaving a perfect silhouette of themselves.

Luke uses a helmet in the lightsaber training why isn't it VR all this is a giant Instagram photo op 4 people have more money than they do brain cells.

If Im to pay 6 grand for this I would expect these things -The whole Millennium Falcon(the whole ship design) -The Death Star layers(all of them in my Knute detail -A Mon Calamari Cruiser bridge with Admiral Ackbar(the real actor not a park stand in). Vito they were panicking during the first trailer(they knew it was half assed and unfinished) But they think that Star Wars only Can use the children but in truth it caters to everyone and Disney forgot that and they are paying for it. Kennedy is back all for 12 minutes and they are already fucking up(I would say that I’m shocked but in truth I’m not) and again Disney is cheap as fuck when it comes to these types of things. I mean hell they couldn’t get decent or confident actors to play the excited customer(hell they are so fake it is pathetic to the point were even middle schoolers could actually do better than them). I agree with you 100% on using your 6 grand and build in a mini arcade center that would be money well sent.

When I saw the light saber training video my first thought was "Those are definitely not Imperial approved respiration devices."

Vegas used to have the bridge of the Enterprise from Next Generation. Never went to that but saw it when they brought it to Philly' Franklin Institute, and also in New York at the Intrepid museum. That is cool because the Enterprise bridge is something fans of Next Gen have an emotional attachment to. That being said it was no $6000. But you think they would have made something iconic and fans can connect to like the Falcon or the Death Star, but nope, just a generic star cruiser? What?!?!?

That defending that ship game looked alot like the blast asteroids game you could play while in the Space Mountain line. This is truly embarrassing.

Great video. Shambles of an attraction from Disney... Also, don't worry about pausing the videos you're reviewing at all. Makes it more transformative and probably keeps you on the safer side of fair use.

Imagine spending $5 Billion on a franchise you don't understand. Who does that?

Seems pretty obvious that some exec had the idea and set the price point...and thought that everything would just fall into place after that.

No wrong old Star Trek sets still holds up you mean old Dr. Who sets

"Get me get 10 margaritas and we're going to hyperspace." 🤣👍

Disney is going to have a hit put on you, for documenting their mistake. Disney executives are Sith Lords of business

This whole thing can be experienced so much better for a few bucks in virtual reality.

This looks stupid and boring. I'd just be rolling my eyes the whole time. Games like Empire at War and X-Wing Alliance were infinitely better and they're around 20 years old. The real reason this shit isn't cool is because Lucasarts was dissolved. Rest in peace you glorious bastards.

why not have a single light particle not a whole beam shoot out and then you gotta hit it before it gets to its disappearing point like in the movie?

I'm definitely not against the idea of a Star Wars themed hotel, but this execution is terrible. And NOBODY who actually cares about Star Wars has $6K to spare on it. Disney really doesn't understand its core audience.

For that price, I want to feel like I am fully, physically immersed in the SW galaxy.

Exactly, where does the 6k kick in. This looks cool, albeit not star wars aesthetic, for a regular park ticket or maybe even an extra $20 charge for a "spy museum" tier level of entertainment at the very most, but not how much they are charging wtf. Hell I'd pay for that lady not to sing.

For 6k, you could get a 1440 Projector (~600) a Gaming PC(~2-3K), the entire star wars gaming library(~$500), all star wars movies(~$200), and a custom built control panel for gaming(~$1k-2k)and having your own Star Wars Party 24/7

If I'm paying 6000 dollars ,I would expect Ray Park to come as Darth Maul and train me in Sith arts...

The light should be aiming for the lightsaber not the lightsaber aiming for the light that way they believe they're blocking the beam. If they made these things move that would have given the illusion that you are blocking the beam

Death star, jedi temple, Senate building, space ship, PICK A THEME THAT'S FROM STAR WARS!!! If they had picked ONE THING we'd recognised maybe it would be worth it.

Oh man Vito had me dying when he said I'd rather buy the whole arcade game for $2,500 😂

Walt Disney said it best. "The people know when they are being cheated".

Its a total an absolute joke. I’m honestly happy they showed it off already because I was now able to cross it off my bucket list as “NOT INTERESTED” 🤷🏼‍♂️🤣 If I want half-baked star wars experience, I can just throw on my PSVR and battle Darth Vader from the comfort of my own room. Legit, they could have made the lightsaber training a vr experience and it would’ve been way better. Don’t even get me started on how TERRIBLY CHEAP AND AWFUL the bar area looks in comparison to the concept art. It’s as if someone sat down and said “Alright I know you showed me this blueprint for a 2 billion dollar expansion but all we got is $800,000 give me whatever you can slap together.”

I once drove 13 hours in a massive storm only to hunker down at a $69 per night roadside motel in Arkansas. It was dingy, but the beds were clean and soft. When i awoke, i was rested but glad to leave. Then I spent 14 hours on the highway to get to a worse motel in eastern Pennsylvania, where i had to share a twin bed with my friend for $111. All of this in an old car while hauling a trailer. Oh and before we found the motel I literally had to shit in some bushes in a parking lot. I would rather repeat those two days than spend $6,000 to stay at this “resort”. At least my road trip and shitty motels didnt have screaming children and $17 bottles of water, while judging me because of my race and gender.

I can’t wait to see how face masks, Covid tests and shots get worked into Star Wars lore for the immersion.

Disney did NOT put their heart and soul into this mega project. The result speaks for itself!!!

Finally a reputable News outlet. Thank you Vito! You keep being you!

I am sorry, but this looks like it is a playland for a direct to DVD sci-fi film. Also, I would like to point out that during the first run of Wandavision (in the u-tube speculation) it was clear that the people writing the program were not as creative as those of us online speculating about what MIGHT be coming. In the end we discovered that the writers (women) did not even know who half the people/creatures we were speculating on were. That is the problem with this sci-fi land. Those creating these spaces are DIVERSITY hires. Not talented people like those men who set up ILM and other special effects workshops. These 'creators' are funhouse mirrors who reflect in weird ways the real Star Wars and all its ideas. That is way Rey (nor any other female 'heroine' these days) had to go to the 'heroine's journey' (look at the Wheel of Time show now). No, they are reflecting (in a bad, funhouse way) the woman's 'journey'. Women have not had to create anything, and thus they bear no responsibility for anything, they just INHERIT it. In all these DIVERSITY hires you have people who are not experienced in CREATING things just in TAKING what others have created and TWISTING it. That is why they are so SHOCKED when the results don't please people, and some sort of responsibility for that failure falls on them. They are simply not accustomed to paying any price because they take no risks.

7:25 One theory I've heard concerning the rounded edges on the control panels: safety. If someone bumps their head on a sharp edge and suffers a serious injury...lawsuit time! The bad publicity alone from such an incident would have the Disney execs wetting themselves. It reminds me of the 'safety' seals on food containers labeled "Sealed For Your Protection". The more honest version would be "Sealed For Our Protection...From Lawsuits". (insert long sigh here)

Also, dont forget, we are seeing this room with only 2 people in it. Once this goes live, there will be 100s of people/screaming children in that small room at any given time.

"This is unbelievable." He says... yeah if he means unbelievably bad. As for them wearing masks on the commercial you know how they could have done that? Have them be in full costume as sith or something and have the masks looking all cool as part of the costume, there, I fixed that problem and made the commercial look cooler already and I needed all of 5 seconds to think about that. It's almost like they really don't care and have zero love for star wars... As for that joke of a lightsaber mini-game, I had more fun pretending to be a Jedi playing Force Unleashed and Clone Wars on my Wii holding a wiimote and those are old games at this point. And guess what? A game on the Wii would cost about 49€ where I live and I own them all and can go play them right now if I want to. There they expect fans to pay a small fortune for two days and can't even bother to give them an experience at least as fun as playing an old game in an old console. F€@# disney.

This... looks REALLY bad. If I'm paying $6,000 I want to feel like I'm on board the Death Star or hanging out in Mos Eisley Cantina. I don't want a bunch of vaguely sci-fi themed plastic crap and barely functional minigames that look like something for the NES in the mid 80's. I assume we'll all be getting called racist/sexist/misogynist/whatever -ist for piling on their video.

For real though am I the only one who's like okay Disney one of the biggest companies in the world like why don't you get one of the actual actors who you know was in a Star Wars movie using a lightsaber to like Shootist the little video for you you know somebody who actually knows how a lightsaber supposed look when it's being used are you there literally could have done a kick-ass Crossover with promotion for the Ahsoka show that's coming out soon like that would have been like an awesome video that like everybody would have watched you know you have her come in and make it look really cool with their lightsabers

It’s unbelievable. Literally. I don’t believe it is Star Wars for a moment.

Gotta be honest, I felt more immersed in the SW universe playing Star Wars Galaxies than I do looking at what they're offering here. Man, I miss that game (before all the nerfs and it became stupid.) 2001-2003 were the golden years.

Clearly nobody's going to this hotel now. flip a switch and go to hyperspace, wave your lightsaber, watch an awkward song? So what are Disney going to do with it?

3:45 anybody else notice this is fake? it's literally added in after effects or whatever software their budget allowed for.

this feels like a free experience you'd do at innoventions while waiting for your return time at space mountain.

They made Rise of the Resistance an immersive experience with proper theming and they can't get this right? Terrible.

First

I don't think there is a such thing as being too nitpicky when it comes to the largest multimedia entertainment conglomerate in the world creating the most expensive Star Wars experience while expecting families to shell out thousands of dollars. People will argue that "the kids will enjoy it! It's about the experience!" but if we keep letting things slide they're just going to keep lowering the bar while they continue raising the prices. Think of it this way, for $6,000 you can probably go on an actual Disney cruise for more than 2 nights and experience a lot more. From what I've seen, the attention to detail in the Disney cruises is superb and a lot of people love going on them, so why couldn't they do the same for this hotel "cruiser"? It's because they know as long as it has the Star Wars name on it people will pay, and anybody who has any criticism is either just an "angry fanboy" or a "hater", that's exactly how they got away with making such a disastrous sequel trilogy. So we should keep nitpicking, keep giving criticisms, and hopefully more people will understand that this company isn't perfect and they need to change.

If they stuck an occulus on every guests head and just let them play Vader Immortal, it would still be better than their ideas. It looks like something created by people that have to work off-license. Were they worried that Disney would finally just sue itself?

Imagine Al Pacino in Glengarry Ross: "You just cost me 6000 dollars. Six...thousand...dollars! Don't fck with me fella I'm talking about the fckg cadillac car that you owe me! "

There are literally better escape rooms that have much better designed sets than this. This really is laughable. Unofficial, star wars or other sci-fi themed escape rooms put more effort and design into this, to be honest.

I could not stop laughing while this was roasted on Friday Night Tights. 🤣🤣🤣
