Attending an honest-to-god Jenny Nicholson Galactic Starcruiser watch party this evening. I get the (entertaining) dunking, but people just now learning about this are misunderstanding why some are so fiercely defending it. It's not just Disney or Star Wars brand devotion.

@JennyENicholson I’ve worked in the theme park design industry. I realize how challenging it is to deliver something great. Just about everything @JennyENicholson is saying about the Starcruiser’s failure is on the money. I’m kind of shocked her diagnosis has proven controversial.

The "Star Wars Hotel" is actually the biggest, most expensive, most mainstream (and therefore most Legitimate™️) form of ongoing immersive theater to ever get built.

Ultimately, I think the instinct to aggressively defend the Starcruiser is more rooted in a need to defend the immersive industry as a whole. The project's high profile failure cast a bleak shadow over an industry already struggling in its infancy.

To say it's merely a "LARP hotel" minimizes what it was (and kinda misunderstands what a traditional LARP is). Nothing on the scale or with the complexity of Starcruiser had ever been attempted. It was a huge, huge deal in the burgeoning immersive theater space.

So, so few ongoing and professional immersive experiences exist. Sleep No More is one of them, and it's on its way out. On paper, Starcruiser seemed like a game changer with the potential to transform how the immersive industry was perceived by the public *and* investors.

In practice, something this technologically sophisticated had never been done, compromising many voyages. Disney cut corners on the "luxury" element of the ship. Marketing had no idea how to sell it. Few could stomach the comical price.

For many immersive enthusiasts, though, these flaws didn't matter. They still got to live in a realized world for two days, while most immersives only lasted hours. Their imaginations filled in the blanks or papered over the more frustrating elements of the experience.

None of this excuses the shortcomings of the Starcruiser, of which there were clearly many (including and especially the price), but I think the additional context is crucial.

The prevalence of Super Nintendo World merch worn/purchased by guests at Universal Studios Hollywood is *staggering.* Practically every other person has a branded hat, shirt, or toy, and the land isn’t open yet. Clear the park has a monster hit. Maybe approaching Potter level.

@Camero_0 Just to be clear, I never went, because frankly the final experience did not look very compelling to me, *especially* at that price point. Having now watched the full video, I agree with almost all of Jenny’s core points. I’m just articulating why a certain crowd is so defensive.

Reading between the lines, it sounds like they found something very wrong with the show building that doesn't represent an *immediate* danger but does require relatively prompt intervention before it becomes a safety issue.
