This four-hour YouTube breakdown of why Disney World’s Star Wars hotel failed is breaking the internet

This four-hour failed Star Wars hotel breakdown on YouTube is blowing up.

If you wanted a four-hour breakdown of why Disney’s Star Wars: Galactic Starcruiser hotel experience in Walt Disney World failed, YouTuber Jenny Nicholson officially has the definitive account.

Nicholson’s video “The Spectacular Failure of the Star Wars Hotel” has gone viral for a reason, as the content creator delivers a wholly comprehensive analysis of why the pricy hotel eventually found itself plagued with issues and ultimately closed last year.

The video has been making the rounds for about a week now, and it’s really become a cultural moment in and of itself.

Nicholson’s breakdown comes from the perspective of a fan who can pretty easily call shenanigans on something she’s passionate about, and it’s looking like it’ll be the YouTube video of the summer right now.

5 things Disney should do with its abandoned Star Wars hotel

Disney World is already calling it quits on the Star Wars: Galactic Starcruiser hotel. We have some ideas on what to do with it after it closes.

Star Wars fans felt a disturbance in the force on Thursday as Disney announced that it would be closing its Star Wars: Galactic Starcruiser hotel experience at Walt Disney World later this year.

The Star Wars-themed hotel will reportedly take its “final voyage” from Sept. 28-30 before closing its doors permanently.

The intimate, immersive “pretend you’re actually in Star Wars” hotel is  stationed right next to Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge at Disney World’s Hollywood Studios.

The hotel just opened last spring but earned quick critiques for its prohibitive pricing. A stay aboard the Galactic Starcruiser could cost patrons around $5,000, which undoubtedly played a part in Disney’s decision to shutter the hotel just year after it opened.

Once closed, Disney will have an empty Star Wars-themed hotel just sitting on its property.

Rather than just demolish it and pretend it never existed, we’ve come up with some ideas as to what the Mouse House can do with it.
