I think the big disconnect is that many were expecting a realistic and authentic to Star Wars hotel. Instead we got the Disney-fied version. For $5000 for 2' nights most want the latter.
I think Disney is not happy with the feedback from the preview videos. Why else would they take them down as well as have no mention of the Starcruiser during the Christmas parade when it was announced there would bea preview.
I think many people will be fine with a Disney-fied experience and it will in fact be what they expect. For many a few thousand bucks isn’t that much money so they will take their kids for a unique, fun experience. I think this is who Disney has in mind. Think how many are willing to pay $800-$1000/night right now for a standard room with subpar service and amenities and it’s not hard to believe there will be plenty of people paying more for something a little different.
Hardcore Star Wars fans saving up for a once in a lifetime experience will have much higher, and maybe unrealistic, expectations and are likely to be disappointed.
