Who says you need to be a Wookiee or a sarcastic space smuggler to fly the Millennium Falcon? This week, Disney Cruise Line announced tweaks to a ship, including an epic "Star Wars" area.

Kids (and hopefully us adults as well) can sit in the cockpit, assist with navigation, and pilot the Falcon through hyperspace to jump to light speed in a galaxy far, far away. (more at link)

So cool. Kid me would have died of excitement.

But the layout is all wrong.

 

[JeffZero]

Sure is... spacious... in there.

 

[entremet]

Disney is wasting no time monetizing the Star Wars IP.

 

[PerezDeCorcho]

Looks more like the Nostromo without the corridors.

Xenomorphs confirmed? The kids will love them.

Still no Chalmun's Cantina for the adults.

 

[aliengmr]

Yea, no way there will be bloody battles fought over the two cockpit chairs. Which honestly looks like the only fun thing in there.

This. I would never go out of respect for the other passengers because I would be "that guy" the whole time.

ARG chessboard plz

 

[Paper Sparrow]

But do they serve droids?

 

[Jag]

ARG chessboard plz

Let the Wookie win.

The Falcon is supposed to be a cramped piece of crap, not an intergalactic cruise ship.

 

[dabig2]

Waaaaay too much light and space. The Millennium Falcon isn't supposed to be the Enterprise.

 

[DrNeroCF]

As wrong as that looks in a wide shot, you could probably get some interesting pictures there.

 

[Liberty4all]

On the size issue it's obviously designed to fit multiple kids at once so concessions were made. Regardless I feel that a lot of heart went into making it feel star warsy enough.

Disney has been doing stuff like this with Star Wars since the late 80's, it was just restricted to the theme parks.

 

[Exr]

Not how it looks inside AT ALL in real life. What a bunch of chumps.

 

[Kaladin]

But the layout is all wrong.

Pretty much. Looks more like a cheap theme park attraction than the Falcon.

 

[FelixOrion]

What a piece of junk!

 

[outunderthestars]

For the long line of people to stand behind you and loudly talk while you are playing Star Wars.

 

[Kaladin]

What a piece of junk!

Actually, it's too clean and spotless to be the Falcon.

 

[Hobbun]

WTH

Looks like they just took scenes that took place in the Falcon during the movies and mashed them together in one big room.

I sure hope Disney took more care in the movies.

It's for kids. It says it right there in the article.

 

[Horse Detective]

The joke is that this is actually a test to see how audiences respond to a proposed layout for the ship in the new movie.

 

[Hobbun]

Even still, it wouldn't have taken all that much to be a bit more accurate. Even kids can appreciate care put into a set.

You're kidding right? This is a stage for kids to play and have photos taken in with who knows how many family members and friends. Not an actual set. How are the two even comparable?

No reason they could have built it for both.

Adults could have enjoyed it as well, and kids would have appreciated the accurate layout (if they saw the movies).

Besides, not the only one who made a comment as such, but apparently my post was picked out.

Probably because you were the only one who thought that the layout of a Disney cruise ship would reflect the quality of their movies.

 

[zeemumu]

The LOOOVE SHIP!

Soon we'll be making the Kessel Run!

Hm, fair enough.

 

[Abounder]

That's no YT-1300 Millennium Falcon, looks more like a YT-2000 as seen from X-Wing Alliance:

Or perhaps the VCX-100 Ghost from Rebels:

 

[FelixOrion]

Actually, it's too clean and spotless to be the Falcon.

And nothing is broken or on fire.

 

[TangoAlphaLima]

And nothing is broken or on fire.

Distinct lack of Wookiee furballs.

 

[SmithnCo]

Expand the Star Wars area in Orlando already god dammit

 

[Ridli]

It's just concept art.

Completely inaccurate concept art that's all wrong and dumb and stupid and looks nothing like the proper layout.
