It's not as bad as the last one...I will give you thatI would go as far as to say that, if it wasn't a Star Wars movie, The Last Jedi would be considered an "objectively" great movie.
Otherwise...my gawd

This is my take. It suffers from its context. On its own, it's a great film.I would go as far as to say that, if it wasn't a Star Wars movie, The Last Jedi would be considered an "objectively" great movie.
I liked it when it came out, but in retrospect, despite its overtures towards change, it's shackled by the burdens of the franchise. It purports to introduce a new narrative paradigm to the Star Wars universe beyond "Empire vs Resistance", but still ends with that paradigm intact.This is my take. It suffers from its context. On its own, it's a great film.
no way at this price this place stays the same after a year. I spent less money going to Tokyo for ten days.
Sounds about what I expected.
I hope the people that go enjoy themselves. No way am I paying that much for something like that.
This hotel has the benefit of being able to be fairly easily changed from a “$6000 two night cruise” to charging $600/night, adding a pool, and just making it a highly themed SW Resort if they want.No surprise really. I'm mostly just baffled at the long-term plan here. How many people that want to experience this can truly even afford this kind of experience? Additionally, how many people are going to want to force themselves to stay in this one building for 48 hours? Guests are fickle You'll have the initial wave of mega fans and influencers, but after that? How sustainable can it really be long-term?

I don’t necessarily know how long they’ll be able to charge these crazy prices, but there’s always other directions they can go with it.
This is basically what I expected it to beSince it's Star Wars, they could also artificially support demand by mothballing the place as it goes into hyperspace for a few months as they figure out new scenarios, (or even new timelines bringing it to OT/Prequels) to give it a new coat of paint to justify people going back rather than returning and affiliating with the First Order instead of Resistance, etc.
If I could insert a poll here, I'm curious what did y'all think is appropriate pricing? I was figuring around $3000-3500 for 2 people. This better near darn near all inclusive for this because I just don't see how they can justify this level of pricing.
