Heroes of the Halcyon

One year ago as this episode is released, we were onboard the Halcyon for our last voyage. In this episode, we look back on the experience, discuss what it meant to us, and share memories of that trip. We also look ahead to the future of the Starcruiser Superfans Community and its incredible creativity that continues to flourish!

While the Galactic Starcruiser experience was essentially a live action video game, what would it be like as an ACTUAL video game?

We invited our good friend Patty Rattay to chat with us about what sorts of video games we could imagine in the Halcyon universe.

This is the second part of our extended conversation with Ben Crane and boy, did we have a fun chat. We covered D23 Park Announcements, Epic Universe, our favorite monsters, and even Halloween Horror Nights at Universal Studios Florida.

Many of you will know Ben from his performances in the Orlando area including the theme parks and concerts in local venues throughout the city. He's a vital member of the Starcruiser community that we're all very familiar with. If you know - - you know!!!

Also, don't forget about  the upcoming series of events Ben is hosting at Sun on the Beach in Kissimmee called Rad Retreat. Rad Retreat is a weekly pop culture party with themed events, cosplay, vendors, fans, and most importantly - fun!

Sheri & Stuart Clifford run the HalcAnon Facebook group. They host both in-person Orlando meetups as well as frequent Zoom calls for fans of the Galactic Starcruiser experience. 

We also spend a couple of minutes chatting about our feelings around the recent D23 park announcements about Smuggler's Run.

After a lovely break spent with family and friends, we return to talk not only about the fun we had over the last few weeks but also to chat about recent adventures at San Diego Comic-Con & Knott's Berry Farm's annual interactive summer event - Ghost Town Alive!

What would a cruise in the Star Wars universe be without a little sabacc? In this rebroadcast episode, we sat down with Stephen and Jeremy, the former leaders of the Outer Rim Sabacc League Facebook group. This group of nearly 2000 members enjoys all things sabacc and have come together over this fun game pulled straight from the page and silver screen.

In March of 2024, Stephen and Jeremy passed leadership of the group to Mike & Emily over at Hyperspace Props. The group is still going strong and is a lot of fun to visit.

The heroes are on vacation this week so we're rebroadcasting one of our favorite episodes.

We've chatted about the concept of LARP drop before but we've never explored what leads up to that drop . . . until now! We were joined by Dr. Lisa Moses, a clinical psychologist, who taught us a little bit about how our experiences aboard the Halcyon affect us at a deeper level than we might be aware of. It turns out that Disney magic sprinkled with immersive story telling pixie dust can be a potent combination to affect not only our emotions but our brain chemistry as well!

This week, the heroes are on an extended vacation. We will be re-releasing episodes over the next 3 weeks.

We are joined in this episode by La'beth, a former cast member at WDW who was one of our favorite chemists in the Sublight Lounge!

La'beth shares some stories of her time on the Halcyon, how she learned about this opportunity, and the fun she had slinging drinks and enjoying her time aboard the ship.

Lots of speculation is out there about what Disney might do with the Galactic Starcruiser show building someday. In this episode, we chat about the possibilities of having a one day experience - how might this work?
