The saga of the Galactic Starcruiser Halcyon, aka the Star Wars hotel, is coming to a close. After costing Disney an estimated $1 billion, the ‘failed’ immersive experience has lain dormant since it’s closure in September of 2023.
Questions have been raised about what the massive building would be used for now. The decor and styling is all still in place, so why leave it unused? That’s where a new report comes in.
According to The Wrap who claims numerous sources, the former hotel will be converted to offices, to be used by the Imagineering team. Which is kind of perfect, honestly.
We’ll let you know what we hear about this and other news.

Mary Anne Butler (Mab) has been part of the fast-paced world of journalism since she was 15, getting her start in album reviews and live concert coverage for a nationally published (print) music magazine. She eventually transitioned to online media, writing for such sites as UGO/IGN, ComicsOnline, Geek Magazine, Ace of Geeks, Aggressive Comix (where she is still Editor-in-Chief), Bleeding Cool (where she was News Editor), and now Nerdbot as Editor-In-Chief. Over the past 10 years, she’s built a reputation at conventions across the globe as a cosplayer (occasionally), photographer (constantly), panelist and moderator (mostly), and reporter (always). Interviews, reviews, observations, breaking news, and objective reporting are the name of the game for the founder of Harkonnen Knife Fight, a Dune-themed band with an international presence. Though she be but little, she is fierce.
