I should mention that everyone needs to watch Justin & Naomi's home video... it's the best thing ever.
Every Halcyon influencer on the Internet is in this video. The Sonfelds, Dan-O, Heroes of the Halcyon, Princess & Scoundrel, etc.
And the costumes are top shelf. So envious of those that got to go on this trip!

Nothing beats the Starcruiser cuisine. I miss that so much. The crawfish was sooo DELICIOUS. And I never missed a breakfast which had Portuguese Sausage - a Hawaiian favorite. (They called it something else)
Despite its visual fame, the Endurian Blue Shrimp besides their huge size, were the most ordinary dish onboard. It was just LARGE cocktail prawns. 😁
But it was all unlimited. You could have 2nds, 3rds, 4ths...

The grand finale has the Halcyon being taken over by the First Order when Sammie, the 'turncoat' ship's engineer (who turned in Chewbacca to the First Order) shows his true colors.
He removes his helmet & reveals he's been impersonating a Stormtrooper & holds the First Order leadership at gunpoint & kicks them off the ship.
The surprise reveal has the crowd going wild! (Except the First Order followers)

And this was my moment: I stole the Hayananeya Stone from the Hyperspace Compass & kept it in secret. Things didn't go to plan when some guests blew their assignment, I pulled Gaya from the Sublight Lounge ("Sparkling eyes" anyone?)
Things went sideways & I mule-d the stone to the cargo hold to get off the ship while Raithe Kole was interrogated by the Order. I passed the stone to Raithe here who presented the stone to Gaya.

First Order fans know what this is: The finale with Lt. Croy. This was really important for highly engaged followers of the First Order.
Lt. Croy would give shoutouts to key members of his posse & you could see how proud each recipient was. One girl, a turncoat named "Steph3PO" was so elated by her very public recognition, she burst into tears.
"Crying? WHAT HAS HAPPENED TO THE FIRST ORDER?!?" <insert raucous laughter>

The most magnificent part of the Halcyon ship has to be the BRIDGE. The experience - going to Hyperspace, controlling weapons, shields, systems repair, talking to C3PO, Chewie, Hondo... such cinematic tension.
And again, it was an experience: You got to not just witness the story but participate in it, including bringing a stolen crate of coaxium to Sammie on the bridge, taking secret orders from Capt Keevan, etc.

Each voyager had a 'Trust' rating w/ all the characters. I managed to get a 'High' trust rating w/ everyone except the First Order.
You had backchannel communications w/ each character you encountered thru the Datapad. I think there's some sort of "near field communication" that gets transmitted when you talk with characters because after doing so, it was rly common to immediately get a message from them after you walk away.
#StarWars #GalacticStarcruiser #StarWarsGalacticStarcruiser #Disney
One of the neat things about the voyage was you had an itinerary on your Datapad but it was purely voluntary for the most part.
If you bailed on things because of conflicts it didn't matter ("off the books meetings" w/ Halcyon characters were common) ... but you did tend to have FOMO. (This drove the some voyagers crazy & you could always tell who those were by their complaining.)
It was non-stop activity & discovery.
#StarWars #GalacticStarcruiser #StarWarsGalacticStarcruiser #Disney
I was on a "Force" path mission that involved connecting to a radio transmitter next to Savi's. I couldn't lock on to it despite trying for a 30min.
I was mysteriously allowed in to Rey's exclusive viewing of the secret "Holocron", featuring a 3D hologram of Yoda.
I assumed it was the Saja that let me in but apparently I scanned a secret crate that shortcutted me to the viewing.
Never did figure out how thehologram worked.

Visits to Batuu / StarWars Galaxy's Edge is very different from being a normal visitor. The shuttle has special ads & an onboard robot.
The private entrance to Batuu has a eerily quiet hallway with your own personal crew concierge. We had them provide us with extra batteries to charge my son's phone.
There's some funny items that only Starcruiser passengers get to see. Here's one of the signs that you can see, for example.

The detail of the Halcyon is unparalleled & is loaded with endless surprises.
For example, if you're paying attention, Han Solo & Leia Organa's initials are etched into the wall of engineering.
Or Han labeled the hull scrub controls as being for "mynocks".
Or there's an in-universe ATM. Which was down.
And there's a ship's christening plate.

Every evening/morning we received an in-room letter from Captain Keevan, summarizing what's been going on at a high level.
Here's the images of each of those letters.
(This was also the paper upon which the Resistance wrote their message in shreds during dinner during night #1)

Upon completing various paths during your stay on the Halcyon, you are given special badges in the playDisney app that persist even after your trip is over.
These are some of the badges I have. The Gaya's Crew badge was a lot of work... and the Holocron Archivist badge was a whopper too. But they were so much fun... and so surprising.
#StarWars #GalacticStarcruiser #StarWarsGalacticStarcruiser #Disney
At dinner in the "Crown of Corellia" (dining room), parties were given their bills ($0 unless you bought drinks - basically your opportunity to tip your server) & under your bill was a secret shred of the in-room letter from the Captain.
Turns out each shred was 1/3rd of a message written on the back from the Resistance. You had to work with other families/parties to get the whole message.
I took photos of all 3. 😁

Another interaction involved obtaining a special data card from Raithe Kole for another special assignment.
The Datapad read the QR code on the back of the card which sent me on a mission on Batuu & some other engagements. This was one of the things that led me to becoming Raithe's right-hand man which was a fun & involved series of engagements all the way to the end of the cruise.

The shipboard artifacts throughout the Halcyon (and there's a lot of them) aren't necessarily there just "for show".
This is a photo of the "Hyperspace Compass" featuring the "Hayanayaya Stone" ... which, as Raithe Kole's designated "right-hand man", I may or may not have stolen.
Very proud of that part of my participation.😁 #GayasCrew

Not gonna lie... I spent a lot of credits onboard the Star Wars Galactic StarCruiser's Halcyon merch store. I bought the Star Wars Galactic StarCruiser exclusive training light saber & several sets of exclusive Resistance pins that flip to reveal the Resistance logo.
Super glad I spent the money.

When you first walk into your cabin onboard the Halcyon, there's a sheet of paper on your bed that describes essentially what you're supposed to do - for folks that have no idea what's going on.
This is the sheet.
