Bonus: Galactic Starcruiser Predictions
Comments (88)
Coming back after the video's released and it's wild how she correctly predicted that the Atrium would be on a big hydraulic system and the whole room would tilt when the ship was hit by an asteroid! i'd never have guessed they'd do something like that! it was so cool!
Having watched the full video, this feels kind of like the moment in a video game where you walk into a place where Something Wrong Has Clearly Happened and spot a notebook by some zany professor detailing the moments before Something Wrong Happened. 10/10, I wish the hotel had more animatronics
oh my god lol
jesus christ this makes me so sad 😭 they really let you down at every single turn and you were so excited 😭😭😭
Aw this video makes me sad after watching the star cruiser video a few times😢 you had such high hopes and they really gave you absolutely nothing
You were right about the pop star but missed the real star of the show … the pillar.
watching this today, just a few days after seeing Jenny's full review, is a bit heart-breaking. so few of her hopes and dreams came true, and the reasons why are hard to understand.
Took the words out of my mouth! Side note: I'm here because I didn't realize there have been regular Patreon videos this whole time, until she personally attacked me at the end of the new Starcruiser video... So I'd been randomly bouncing around the --8 years of accumulated Ramble videos-- trying to decide where I wanted to dip my toe in. Randomly browsed directly to this one almost immediately, and it seemed so apropos.
Revisiting this, and it's interesting how the actual experience of the hotel was less impressive than imagined on every point. Every single point. Even the low expectations were not met.
Absolutely love the cast member in gift shop who has decided to be Gaya stan. Slay queen.
I don't have twitter so I'm posting this here in reaction to the 'I'm filming a pole' video: I wonder if they were going to have a separate dinner theater room / finale stage area planned, with a regular cafeteria for general meals, but had to scrap the ideas early due to budget cuts. So they had to combine the dinner show into the cafeteria and then move the finale awkwardly into the atrium.
love this lipstick btw, it’s giving lorde
Try going on a nice, real cruise in the $3,000 range to beautiful sunny places here on good ol Planet Earth! Then do the fake AF Starcruiser thing for whopping $6K! And tell us which one was more worth the money, K?
what
Is there a good video where you explain what starcruiser is ?
I think this one gets into interesting details from the perspective of a theme park fan but manages to be straight to the point. But from what I've seen the Galatic Starcruiser is just a live-action role play where you're on a fancy cruise in the star wars universe. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5Vqn0S0Atu8
How come your older rambles and patreon videos deleted?
Updated links to the backlog are in the pinned post on desktop!
Ah when I was a kid, the one time I went to Disneyworld and I dragged my family around all day doing the Kim Possible Epcot game haha. I loved triggering all the little things, it's pretty much the only thing I remember from that trip
Can't wait to hear about your experience there!!
I feel like there's only been one tie I've seen and there was another poll
I'm quite excited to see how this all turns out, hopefully it makes for a good video! However it goes, have a good time on the Starcruiser Jenny!
I'm so excited to see how it goes for you! A boiler room escape room scenario sounds like it'd be really fun.
I want to be the side that doesn't win so I can say "I lost the Star Wars" whenever my trip comes up.
Note: I haven't booked a trip.
I feel like I theory I would love to go do an experience like starcruiser but in reality there’d probably be some annoying guest that would be in my group that I would be stuck with. I’m 100% sure that there would be someone in my group that I would absolutely HATE. I feel like it would suck to just be stuck in close quarters with a bunch of random people for your $6000 hotel stay.
I haven’t seen much about this, I’ve seen little clips and stuff but overall idk how this looks to me. Hopefully you’ll be able to film but I’m curious to see what it’s about. I also wonder how dad friendly this experience is, like if you just wanted to sleep all day would you be technically allowed? I know my dad would be annoyed by having this do a bunch of random stuff. Lol
It's really interesting to me that Disney has invested so much in a roleplay experience to this scale. Obviously it's impossible to compare them, but I would've thought that something mission/quest-based like Evermore or similar LARPing experiences would stay relatively fringe. I wonder how Starcruiser will inform other large scale roleplaying experiences in the future?
Artemis Starship inspired me to write out several notes for a long Star Trek-like LARP that relies heavily on that game and I think the existence of this hotel is a good sign for this idea!
Do you predict that you'll enjoy it? That's the one thing I'm still not sure of
Don't worry Jenny, I haven't read and seen any information on the Star Wars hotel, but I am sending over good vibes so that the floor does move!
If this isn’t like Ship of Ghouls, what’s the point?
Yay bonus ramble! I am excited to experience this vicariously through you. It seems like the kind of experience where there's so much (finacial) pressure to have a good time..
Hey, I’m with the Resistance. Shhhhhh…
I SAW ON A VLOG THAT they takwe you too a "dragoonqueest" and after the first day it's an incredible unprecidented dragon quest roleplay/simulation experience but they dont mention starwars ever again.
Hooray for double ramble! Thank you for spoiling us this one time. There seemed to be a lot of "Here's what I hope they do, but they'll probably do this" in the predictions. Makes me think the ensuing video (which I'm confident will be great and I'm excited for) will have basically the same theme as my Book of Boba Fett review: "There are some many better things this could have been if they could have been bothered to try." Now that I say that the hotel would probably also be much better with more Timothy Olyphant.
Thanks so much for the bonus video and I hope you have a good time on the starcruiser!
Saw a spoiler-free review that said you can talk to guest services if you're not on a story path that you wanted to be and they can sort of subtly switch you over. She said you can do it in character too, and saw someone say something like "my friend was sent on this mission and I wanted to get in on it". Seems like a very good thing to know if you're worried about wasting your thousands of dollars on a rigged card game plot line.
Nice to know they have some solution in place for "I don't like the storyline of my $6000 hotel stay" other than "You can always come back and try something else."
Really enjoyed both of these txtx - Sandra voters, star wars voters, gj gj
Thank you for the extra video! The info about the app that eats your battery via bluetooth is wild to me. Just sounds like poor implementation that they will never fix. Hope that whatever the trip is like, you have fun. 😊
we should all evenly distribute our votes so that jenny makes every video possible
I’m following the Kevin Perjurer canon that Batu is just a cruise stop in the Star Wars universe. It’s why it’s full of touristy souvenirs from tel things in-universe. The Halcyon going there is now confirmation
I hope that the star cruiser thing ends up being better than people are expecting. But all the updates about extra add ons and costs (not to mention all the rumors of severe budget cuts and changes) makes that seem unlikely. I just don’t want the people who splurged on it hoping for it to be a wonderful family experience to end up regretting it or feeling ripped off. I just want to believe that some things in this world can still feel like magic, like a fully immersive role playing vacation 😔
I'm sorry, Jesus :(
So excited to hear your review! I'm really curious about one thing most of the chatter seems to be missing- how the fellow guests can make or break the experience. I've done character improv acting before and there's always some edgy kid or parent who will try to break the magic every second for no reason. Or ask about a character's wig. Or ask what kind of car a character drives 'in real life'. And we all know there's going to be those kids or spouses that were dragged along who unironically ask if the characters know Spock. And if it's anything like an escape room... Well, even if it's nailed down, it won't stop people from trying to break it in pursuit of a clue. The cast members have a lot more to deal with than most people realize. Also: How long until someone goes to the hotel playing a spice dealer?
lol so true, I love when you see escape rooms where there's a box or something and it's all chipped on the edges and nailed down and you can tell that despite signage, and the pleas of the employees, that people keep prying it off the floor
In regards to #12, I'm very curious to hear how they present in-story emergencies and how they're differentiated from real life ones. Doing safety orientation in an in-story manner does sound fun, but I wonder if that would cause any confusion. If a fire is set, will the alarms go off and all the guest will think "ooh, how fun?"
Most likely in a real emergency, all the immersive sounds and visuals would go away and the "stage lights" would come up like in a theater. So, instead of being in a dark room with a viewport showing stars, you'd be in a fluorescent-lighting-bright room with a blank screen, and the omni-present hum of the engines is gone, and the cast members are suddenly acting like not their characters.
And just like that, a fragile peace between Star Wars and Sandra Lee fans was brokered
So excited for your full video on the experience!!
Lol I appreciate your hopefullness every time you uncover what this trip is going to actually be like, 100 percent guarantee nothing happens in sections not orange
Regardless of what they do and do not have there, I hope you have fun and am excited to hear about it!
i can’t figure out what that squishmallow on the desk is and it’s bugging me lmao
I believe it's from Dragon Quest? It looks like it.
Not the juiciest of leaks, but I know someone who was going to be a bartender on the cruise. Apparently upper management has been really freaking out and changing a lot of things at the last second (they actually got let go due to last minute downsizing). They used to have a really interesting menu of weird and alien looking cocktails, but that has been scrapped and a lot of the original items have been replaced with more traditional cocktails (they'll probably have star wars-y names though). Also, one of the execs was apparently weirdly intent on adding more gin drinks, seemingly just because they really like gin.
having worked for the company for years on the other coast, all of this sounds plausible
can't wait!!! hope it goes good
Double video!! Thank you, we really appreciate the effort.
A BONUS video? In MY patreon feed? It's more likely than you think.
Omg this has been building up for so long I’m so excited for you to go
Man in retrospect everything in Galaxy's Edge really does scream "budget cuts" doesn't it? Not convinced Galactic Starcruiser is going to be the exception either...
Re: Tracking the magic bands - A good friend did a bunch of InfoSecurity work on the Magic Bands when they were first introduced. The short version is that Disney didn't want an employee to be able to track any one individual. There's lots of bad press that could come from it, and Disney is generally allergic to that. (Imagine someone tracking their ex through the park.) So there are lots of controls in place preventing individual tracking due to the privacy issues. However, they do use the tracking in a lot of interesting ways to judge crowd levels throughout the park, general movement patterns, and more recently to feed some of the Genie+ stuff. Now, take all of this with a grain of salt, as I'm clearly parroting stuff second hand as I recall it from someone who told me stuff over the course of a few years...
That's kind of ironic because I did once have a legitimate security issue while staying at disney world, because somebody knowing only that I was there and my first and last name was able to pull up my entire itinerary. They didn't need my booking confirmation number or anything you'd expect them to need Edit to add I don't think they really meant anything by it and nothing bad happened and I didn't want to get them in trouble, but it really unnerved me how much info they casually had access to when they had no need for any of that info for their particular job. Also including which hotel I was staying at which I had not posted anywhere online, and which they casually brought up in conversation lol
Great surprise! Thank you, Jenny!
I feel like I would want a Sleep No More level experience and would be disappointed. Thanks for doing 2 this month!!
Yeah, you should be able to set a level for your experience - 1 is just the main events and 10 is alarms at 2am to repair a coolant leak.
Jenny Starcruiser Video Release Day is going to be a holiday in my household, can’t wait!
manifesting a porg sighting for jenny
BEST SURPRISE EVER CRYING 😭 thank you queen
Just got broken up with so I kinda needed 2 new Jenny videos in a row thank you so much
same boat
THANK YOU JENNY
I honestly cannot wait for your full review of the Starcruiser!
We are blessed 😭
Never watched starwars but I‘m still really happy people got their wish!
seems like the video was flagged as kids content for some reason 🤔
The entire channel she's posting her rambles to is flagged for kids because it's the only way to keep people from adding them to public playlists. An inelegant solution but to a real problem 🤷🏻
yesssss thank you!!! 🥰🥰
Love it!! 💗💗💗💗
We're so spoiled!!! Thank you for doing both! 😄
Omg it's happening!
EVERYONE SAY THANK YOU JENNY
THANK YOU JENNY
