Do we know how many rooms the hotel actually has yet? It looks amazing but I suspect it may have a waitlist .

Sounds like my idea of hell- stuck in close confines, no windows etc, I do not fancy this at all.

I wonder what the occupancy rate will be? Probably full.
Not for me but I think for Star Wars fans it will be awesome. I slam Disney for greed but this I can live with as it's so expensive it will only appeal to a very small minority but the big thing for me is it's so small and niche that no way will it impact on Joe Public and their Park enjoyment.

Yes I can see it will be fantastic for the Star Wars big fans- a bit like Westworld come true, without the killer robots.
But as I say stuck in there for 2 days- not for me at all. I could imagine Mrs YTs face if I told her we would be stuck in there for 2 days I think we would be divorced. The other problem with this a bit, is that the kids are not that into Star Wars- they like it, but the real fanatics are people who grew up with the original films- so I think even my kids would not be too keen- but I havent seen all the details as of yet.

YT. The original Star Wars film that I saw on release has also coloured my opinion and to this day I think that trilogy was the best. Of course those who are younger probably don't subscribe to my view or maybe they do!.
Although it's small it's still a very big financial risk for Disney as if it runs grossly under occupancy it will be a very expensive flop. As I say for this concept I hope it does well for the real fans. I want an Avatar hotel!

Youll be looking forward to the new Avatar films then?
Funny I quite like Star Wars, the originals the best, and loved the Rise of the Resistance ride, but I think as a land Avatar is much better and more impressive in atmosphere and appearance. Im also of the view the original Star Wars were the best, remember going with my Dad to the local ABC and wondering how they did all the effects. I had them all on VHS at one stage.

Wait, that cant be her real name surely?!?!
The presenter of the video explaining how guests can travel into space... is Toms daughter? Like what? Where is one of those mind blown emojis when you need one. Surely they are playing an in joke?

That's because Disney officially released the statement that Galaxy's Edge would open in late Fall 2019. Until Disney actually released that info, no one knew anything better and there wasn't any more information. Everyone - including any so-called "Disney insiders" - therefore assumed it would open in November or December 2019. A few "Disney insiders" were suggesting early-to-mid December. And, as you know, it actually opened in late Summer. Almost everyone got it wrong.
But, as the opening of Galaxy's Edge shows, even if someone had some "insider" information or had heard some rumours, there's a reasonable chance that they could be wrong. Any dates you might hear at the moment are only guesses. I could make a guess for you, if you like? (Probably in time for WDW's 50th Anniversary - so September 2021) But until Disney actually tells us when it will open, we really don't know.

I don't think anyone knows exactly for certain but it's believed it'll only have around 100 rooms.
It's a fairly small hotel, much smaller than any of the other Disney hotels. I wouldn't expect it to be any more under-occupied than, say, the Boulder Ridge villas.
