Why Disney’s Star Wars hotel failed so fast

$6,000 was too much to ask for a two-night family vacation

Not all that long ago, in a galaxy that looks a lot like Central Florida, Disney embarked on a mission that would take its brand of themed entertainment into hyperspace. It wouldn’t just be a Star Wars hotel designed to space-opera specifications. It would be an entire immersive universe, complete with storylines, aliens, droids and at least one Wookiee.

Disney first announced the project — ultimately called Star Wars: Galactic Starcruiser — to rabid reception in 2017. Early descriptions promised that costumed fans could participate in continuous storytelling, interact with characters and simulate spaceshiplike transportation.

Six Grand better include Princess Leia’s friends.

Cancelling Canada Day Is the Latest Form of Cultural Dictatorship From Unelected Elites

Fireworks – A White Supremacist Activity

The city of Calgary has reversed its decision to cancel the July 1 fireworks and effectively dismiss Canada Day with it.

Port of Vancouver has not retreated from its position of terminating the fireworks.

In both cases, the decisions to cancel were made not by elected officials but unelected bureaucrats who decided Canada Day had become a source of controversy and July 1 should become something else other than recognizing Canada’s sovereignty, history, and heritage.

Naysayers have focussed on tweaks to the plot and lyrics that play around with sex, ethnicity and cultural values to make the 125-minute remake fit with Disney’s progressive politics.

Dresses funny, even for a Satanist

… Activists soon discovered Carnell’s independent web store, where he has sold, among other items, pins and medallions that used Satanic and occult imagery to make points about transphobia. A lavender, goat-headed medallion that reads “Satan respects pronouns” is among his most popular designs. A pin depicting a guillotine with the label “Homophobe Headrest” might be the edgiest.

It’s not Satanist when he does it.
