Star Wars: Galactic Starcruiser

In all seriousness, how hard would it be to convert this to a Star Wars themed value hotel? Add a pool, some general theming, windows, make the outside look like a building from Tatooine, and have it staffed by people wearing Star Wars garb. An imperial officer could check you in. A resistance person could handle customer requests. The rooms are small but perfect for a small family or couple and it has a nice dedicated exit to get into/out of the hotel. I haven't been to the place but it seems doable. It would give Disney another value resort, albeit a small one. Plus, my guess is that it would stay booked up. They could create an entrance into DHS from here or use the existing shuttle.

I say all this while recognizing that they wrote this off but that is an accounting entry that could be reversed/modified. The ship may have sailed long ago but it is just an idea. The price point, even as a moderate, would justify its existence and they could see how their occupancy rates hold up over time.

Have you seen the Jenny Nicholson video (probably linked elsewhere in this thread)? She mentions towards the end of it that due to the small number of rooms and small amount of public space it wouldn’t be able to generate the amount of profit needed to justify its operations. That situation is worsened if they need to allocate more resources on a pool, bus stop, more rooms, more elevators, etc. that would need to be recouped.



Great video worth the full 4 hours to devote to watching it. Relevant bits for your question are in chapter 18.

It basically had margins so close to be profitable it was doomed to fail.

One of the best things I've watched on YouTube (or ever, maybe?). Critical without being "YouTube critical," smart, and super engaging.
