Star Wars fans can participate in their own adventure in a galaxy far, far away on the two-day cruise. It takes an enormous amount of coordination between all those secret missions, lightsaber training classes, musical performances, and even the food served aboard the Halcyon, all creatively brought into the experience from an array of sources. A lot of them are owned by vendors of color.
The effect the cast has had on visitors is seen not only in reaction videos but also in fan art and writing. She's a pop star, but her role is more than just her concert appearance, with a storyline that has resonated with visitors.
Lee pointed out it was partly due to the dedication from the assembled talent and also due to the chance Lucasfilm took to bring the whole thing to life as kind of a living play inside the Star Wars universe. I think that the kind of warmth that she brings to the table is what makes her special. We have to tell a whole new story of the twileks, what they are in the Star Wars universe and how they came to be. We're proud of the roles and stories that we created to highlight local talent in a way that's really meaningful, and bringing a very intense art form, writing music and improvised comedy.
It was great that someone from Star Wars, Oscar, visited the Halcyon to get a sneak peek of its voyages into a world he is quite familiar with. It was much easier for him to play. He was very excited in the bridge since he played a pilot in the films. We were able to tell him many different stories of the First Order and the Resistance, as well as the different stories that we were telling and the Archetype that you see. Our mechanic is a wannabe hero like Sammie, and you can see that full arc. That is a familiar scene within the Star Wars storyline.
The stories aboard the Halcyon continue to expand from their original intentions because of the characters that bring the experience to life. Disney's Imagineers hope to offer an experience that affects travelers in meaningful ways, and not just the hardcore fans, but also curious parties with casual interest.
