UPDATE 1: There are apparently a couple of videos about this on YouTube for anyone who wants to get other opinions/ideas about this. Creators mentioned in comments.

Update 2: I agree with most of the comments, it wouldn't even need to be Halcyon themed (though I feel like they have all the stuff still from that). I'd be happy with a Jabba Cantina experience with Bounty Hunter actors, or really just any Star Wars Themed dinner theater experience.

Original Post: Okay, so I was just thinking about the Galactic Starcruiser and how they could incorporate a lot of the cool things from that into like a dinner show.

They'd only need one building in Galaxy's Edge. Guests make a dinner reservation and enter the lobby of the building where they can wait 'for transport.' Once it's time, guests enter side rooms themed to look like small transports that 'take them to the Halcyon." Doors open and you are in a much larger version of the Sunlight Lounge, complete with an alien band playing on a stage and space outside the windows.

Guests are seated and order. Before the show, the Captain could come around and stop at tables, take pictures, etc. and so could stormtroopers (or first order troopers). They could be checking ID's etc (especially now that Disney has that cool ID maker).

Dinner is served, main show begins and we get to see a cool alien singing, or acrobats, or whatever. Before desert, the show gets interrupted by a villain (Vader/Kylo) boarding the ship because there are rebels onboard. Could still have a lightsaber battle, etc. Show ends with the rebels escaping in a pod or one of the transports that brought us and the villain chasing after them. Captain apologizes for the interruption and offers 'free' dessert as compensation for your troubles. Band comes back on. Finish eating and 'return' back to Batuu.

I do realize it would remove a lot of the roleplaying aspect that made the Starcruiser so compelling but this would be a much more affordable option to have a Star Wars show and a new dining location. To bring back in roleplaying they could do audience participation in some bits. I don't know, ya'll could probably come up with better ideas for roleplaying guests but for guests who just want the show, this is more enticing than having to role-play in a two day hotel.

They could do the show twice a night (5pm and 7pm) and have a the Chandrila Collection Gift Shop, and really well themed restroom area that makes you feel like you're on the ship. Maybe they're doing the whole thing as a favor to Olga by letting some of her 'favorite customers' come on board for dinner and a show for one evening.

think it would be a lot of fun and a lot more manageable than a 2 night hotel experience.

Thoughts?
