A Galactic Farewell The era of the Star Wars: Galactic Starcruiser is drawing to a definitive close. Permits recently filed by The Walt Disney Company mark the beginning of a major transformation at the property — demolition and reconfiguration of the former two-night immersive hotel into offices for Walt Disney Imagineering.

What the Permits Reveal The permit documents reveal several key details: In short: the space will remain, but the immersive hotel concept will not. Why Did It Come to This? Though the Starcruiser was ambitious and technically impressive, it struggled to find a sustainable business model. The high cost of the experience combined with its niche appeal led to its closure for guest bookings in late 2023….

The Art of Effortless Travel: Why Comfort Beats Convenience After 40
For the mature traveller, true luxury lies not in how fast you go, but in how well you travel There comes a point in every traveller’s life when speed stops being the priority. After years of rushing through airports, crowded train stations, and overpacked itineraries, something shifts. The journey itself, the quiet moments between destinations, begins to matter more. This is the essence of effortless travel. And for many over 40, it is becoming the new definition of luxury.

Star Wars Battlefront: Renegade Squadron Released on This Day in 2007
Eighteen years ago, on October 9, 2007, Star Wars Battlefront: Renegade Squadron hit the shelves as a PlayStation Portable (PSP) exclusive — and while it might not have had the flashiest graphics or the biggest marketing budget, it became a cult favorite among Star Wars gamers who wanted something a little more personal in their galactic warfare. Developed by Rebellion Developments and published by LucasArts, Renegade Squadron was built on the legacy of the original Battlefront titles but dared to tweak the formula in bold ways. Its biggest innovation? Character customization. For the first time in the series, players could design their own Rebel or Imperial soldier — swapping weapons, grenades, gadgets, and even appearance. Instead of being stuck with fixed “classes,” you could be a sniper with a jetpack, a heavy gunner with stealth gear, or a support unit with auto-turrets. It was chaotic, unbalanced, and utterly brilliant. A…

What Beyond Victory Really Is Perez begins by framing Beyond Victory not as a single-mode title, but a playset with three distinct ways to play: He described this layered structure as something that mirrors how fans engage with Star Wars: watching the story, playing the game, and rearranging toys on the floor as kids. Beyond Victory aims to be all three, in one MR package. Perez’s Role: More Than Just “Director” Being the credited director doesn’t mean just calling cuts. For Perez, it meant: He describes that process as deeply iterative — honesty, critique, and…
