Just one more reason to laugh at the notion that this is an entertainment company. Since when does real estate fit into the plans of a film studio? We're talking about two completely different industries that have absolutely zero cross over. A theme park or themed resort/ cruise (actual cruise- not a fake cruise) fit in with cross promotion for their movies, but a freaking multimillion dollar private community? What in the world does that have to do with a movie?

Money.

That might be what they do eventually, but at the moment, they're trying to take a $300 million tax writeoff so they can't do anything that makes money with it.

While that's probably true, but can you blame them? It's not like you, or anybody else, wouldn't do the same under the same or similar circumstances.

They did say that they’ll repurpose the things I to something else.
Probably a big adventure for GE guests to go spend an extra $50.00 on for a half hour of being chased through a rebel ship by stormtroopers.

And absolutely no danger of any of the stormtroopers hitting them with a shot from their blasters....

I wouldn't have made the damn thing in the first place. I would have realized it was a massive failure waiting to happen, which is exactly what it became.

The doors where repurposed from some other attraction that went belly up.
I like it- could still take the “shuttle” over there from Batuu.
Makes me angry every time I leave smugglers run, walking through the brown walled corridors that look so much like Hoth - but are not…..It’s a big middle finger to OT fans.
The latest report is the Bob Iger shot down ideas to turn the building into a Mandalorian experience/adventure, or a tour area for day guests and keep the bar and hotel open. To get the tax write-off, they have to close it down as a for profit venture I believe.
My brother use to live/work there. It's no longer owned by Disney. It's actually a nice, upscale town (although completely manufactured).
If that hotel has a hard liquor license you don't want to lose that. Convert that b4stard into a restaurant/night club and rent the rooms by the hour....

I'm sure Walt's body is spinning so fast in his grave now, they could wrap it in wire and make electricity.
these idiots running Disney are definitely in a "bubble" $6,000 per night?? what were they thinking.. so out of touch with the average American family.... you know...their main customer base!
Walt is probably spinning in his grave!
... oh wait, I forgot...he's probably stuck ...frozen solid, to the inside walls of his cryo-tube

I know there are some here who didn't like it, but I LOVED Quarks in Vegas. I liked to just sit at the bar and drink Roman ale (which I'm pretty sure was just Bud light died blue), and soak up the atmosphere.
One prime example of this is Dragon Alley at Universal. Yes there's things to see. Yes there's rides and shows and shops. BUT, you can also just hang out there. I've killed half a day just BEING in Diagon Alley.
Battu fails at that in my opinion. There's not one simple answer why, but a whole host of nuanced reasons. The rides are good. There's the usual wandering NPCs, and the shops are OK. There's even a bar thats hard to get into and they took away the stools to move people faster. And the whole time I cant shake the feeling that Disney doesn't really want me to hang out here. They want me to get in, spend my money, and get out. which is what I did, and felt no need to ever go back.
I 100% would stay at a Star Wars hotel, but a 3 day "show" seemed risky to me for the price.
I think that sums it up nicely. I'd been trying to put my finger on my sense of what stuck with me at Disney. And it all seems to come down to where I felt the least rushed and most comfortable. The relaxed experience and immersion of it.

I was at Quarks on opening day, and closing day. When I lived in Vegas I would go there all the time. I used to repair the props for them when a customer would break them. Great memories.
