The Cookout

[Lamont]

In case you didn't know, Disney is building a new Star Wars hotel themed as a Galactic Starcruiser, guess how much it costs? $6000 for two nights for a family of four. Recently, they released a promo video that showed the hotel and it was universally panned. People are actually cancelling their reservations due to how uneventful it appeared. Reception was so paltry that Disney removed the video from all of their social media channels. Think about how big of an L they took if they had to pull the video down everywhere? ​

But don't fear, I, Lamont have the video right here. Timestamped.

So let's do the playback:

• Spoiler

  They killed Han Solo
• Spoiler

  Made Luke Skywalker a bitter chump who tried to kill his nephew
• Made a female Jedi who is related to Palpatine
• Made an impressive villain then turned him good
• Had a super bad guy and killed him in the first movie we saw him in
• Made a cast of throwaway we are the world characters
• Made the single most universally panned trilogies in Star Wars history

Now they make an overpriced science museum of a hotel that is underperforming so far.

I can't even look at this cow anymore. It has been milked to death. Dust is coming out of the franchise at this point. Shame what happens to something when the only reason you do anything with it is to gain more and more money.

The price is absolutely crazy. I know a good bit about this, and the 4 meals/quick service will be pretty bad too. Probably similar to fast food. So you can't even say, "Oh, well at least food is included" because you probably wouldn't eat it anyway. Disney as a company is going downhill, and this is just an example of that.
