Star Wars: Galactic Starcruiser Inside Story To Be Explored 2 Years After Its Closure In Promising New Documentary

Operating for just over a year and a half, little is actually known about the permanently closed Star Wars immersive experience, Star Wars: Galactic Starcruiser, located at the Walt Disney World Resort – but this new documentary promises an in-depth and heartfelt look at everything it used to be, two years after its closure. While the Galactic Starcruiser built a reputation based mainly upon its pricing, this unique experience was much more than just an expensive Star Wars-themed H๏τel. It closed permanently in September 2023 and will reportedly become offices for Imagineering, but there are still ways to experience it.

The upcoming documentary Halcyon Daze: The Final Voyages of Disney’s Star Wars: Galactic Starcruiser, directed by Carrie Coaplen – a four-time visitor of the Galactic Starcruiser – will take viewers inside the resort and its immersive experience, highlighting the community it created in its wake. “This film is about more than a ‘themed H๏τel’,” Coaplen says of her upcoming film. “It’s about the bonds that formed among those who stepped aboard and lived through this immersive experience.” Its 4-minute-long trailer proves this, focusing on pᴀssengers and crew alike. “The Starcruiser may be gone, but its legacy is growing.”

What This Galactic Starcruiser Documentary Means For Star Wars

It’s A New Way To Experience The Now Defunct Resort

This documentary is a unique opportunity for anyone who wanted to experience the Galactic Starcruiser prior to its closure to step inside and see what it was truly like. It was a difficult thing to digest from the outside; the term “Star Wars H๏τel” floating around made it hard to understand that it was anything but that. Coaplen’s documentary will provide insight as to what it was like from a pᴀssenger perspective, and how the experience created a legacy beyond the bounds of its doors – as is typical for any Star Wars property. It will memorialize this Star Wars project.

This Is The Perfect Tribute To The Halcyon’s Legacy

As someone who was a part of the Galactic Starcruiser experience, having worked as a Pᴀssenger Services crew member for eight months’ time, this documentary couldn’t be a more perfect tribute to what the Halcyon really was. As I stated before, it was difficult to understand what the Starcruiser was from the outside, which made it even more heartbreaking for me when I realized that so many people would never get to see it and experience it for themselves – even before its closure. I know that before my tenure there as a crew member, I was in the same boat.

The Halcyon Daze documentary, by design, will thus be paying the ultimate tribute by helping those who weren’t there to experience it in some way, while also memorializing the physical experience and the community that was created because of it. It was always so much more than just another Disney resort, as it embodied so much of what Star Wars is about at its core. I will always mourn what Star Wars fans will never get to see at the defunct Starcruiser, but projects like these are so promising in keeping it alive somehow.
