You can now go on a Star Wars themed cruise for some reason
This is the cruise you are looking for.
Although the Star Wars franchise is showing no signs of retiring, it has still decided to go on a cruise. Disney Line has launched a Star Wars-themed cruise where for the modest sum of $7000USD, a family of four can spend a week in the waters of the Carribbean, talking to Chewbacca and Darth Vader about what it’s like to be a Wookie, or what it’s like to be an evil cyborg with telekinetic powers, or what it’s like to have spent four years learning method acting at Julliard, only to end up on a cruise ship dressed as a giant, incoherent Spaniel.
Send the kids to the Jedi Academy where they can learn inner peace by hitting each other with sticks. Head to the bar, decked out as the Mos Eisley Cantina, where you can knock back a few Star Wars-themed cocktails before cutting off someone’s hand with a laser sword.
There will be storm troopers, Ewoks holding trays of canapes, and a giant blancmange shaped like Jabba the Hutt. Maybe. Definitely storm troopers though.
If the boat doesn’t quite feel Star Wars-y enough, all six films will be screened over the course of the voyage so you can protect that precious moon-tan that you’ve been working on since you decided the outside world suddenly seemed far too lacking in bikini-clad Princess Leias.
To some, a cruise ship seems far, far away from the Star Wars universe, but perhaps the theme of “At Sea” is merely meant to reflect George Lucas’s recent contributions to the epic, world beating saga. In any case, it will be a lot more fun than The Phantom Menace.
May the force be with you.
