I’m the OP; I went to the Starcruiser later in its run and had a very different experience. Here’s my writeup: https://mssv.net/2023/08/07/star-wars-galactic-starcruiser/

Thanks for linking this, that was a fantastic read.

Thanks for that. Does sound interesting, I wonder if Disney will try something else similar or if they're going to run far away after they had to close Starcruiser.

It definitely sounds like it does work for some or a majority of people but some fall hard through cracks in the game setup. Even those who had successful trips had contradicting advice for what you MUST do to make the game work, it does seem to revolve around getting on an track pretty early and following it in the app.

Other spots Jenny's experience broke just seem like the game falling apart. Like getting invited to an event at a set time, getting there a little early and finding it's already over. Maybe they ironed that out later but that's a rough thing to have happen.

No better? Maybe something shorter. I love that little imp but it's quite a bit of time to invest in something that ended up failing.

That video lives rent-free in my head.
