We were honored to be accepted to present a panel on Galaxy's Edge & Galactic Starcruiser at this year's San Diego Comic-Con with our friend Nick Tierce!  The panel was recorded live in front of a standing room only crowd of about 500 folks. It was a ton of fun and we're excited to present this for you in this episode.

We were joined this episode by two of our favorite YouTubers, Peter & Kitra from Ordinary Adventures.

As you'll hear, the very first video we watched about Galactic Starcruiser was their video about the press tour they took in late February 2022. We didn't watch the whole video - - just the very beginning when Kitra meets Ouanni - - and because we trusted them completely, we knew from the very first moment that Kitra was wide-eyed at meeting a Rodian face-to-face, we knew we were in for an amazing experience. So it was with great pleasure that we had them join us to chat about our favorite immersive experience!

There are minor spoilers in this episode - - nothing major - - but callouts to some experiences that you may not want spoiled.

Despite what those creepy space zombies say in that other sci-fi property, resistance is NOT futile. In fact, it is a ton of fun!! We were joined by Derek from Rope Drop Radio, Tyler, and TR to discuss hanging with Captain Keevan, Lenka, Sammie, and . . . Carl?

Spoilers abound here so tread lightly if you're still planning your first voyage!

This week, we spoke with Tom (one of the co-hosts of the Jedi Talk podcast), Max, and Jason about a storyline aboard the Halcyon that is near and dear to all of us - the Saja.

We go spoiler heavy early and often so as with our other Storyline spotlights, you may  want to skip this if you don't want to be spoiled.

Mike won't ruin this one. Who's Mike, you might ask?? You'll have to listen!

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.

When we heard about Disney's decision to cease operations for the Halcyon as of the end of September, we all felt a fair amount of emotions that we may not have been entirely prepared for.

Our friend, cosplay and LARP expert Jen Catania, reached out when she heard the news to offer her insights into processing the end of a journey like this. We've had Jen on before to discuss the concept of LARP drop but this is something new for those of us who are not used to these sorts of experiences.

We found her advice to be very helpful and we hope you will also!

This week, we speak with Mark and Alex, two listeners who found creative inspiration after their first voyage aboard the Halycon. This inspiration led them both to put in dozens of hours into working on ways to express their characters and tell their own stories both before the journey and aboard the ship in subsequent voyages.

We also discuss why Martin and Kristine were inspired to create more of their character's journey and learn more about them after their first voyage.

Along the way, we found some interesting conclusions about just what the Halcyon brings out of us in this process of creative discovery and have tips for you to do the same!
