For as long as Star Wars has existed, fans have wondered how they would fare in the galaxy. From video and role-playing games to reams of fanfiction, there have always been ways to insert yourself into the franchise. But there’s no experience like Galaxy’s Edge, the Star Wars-themed land in Disney’s Parks. Where else can you see a sleeping Loth cat, sip on some blue milk, and buy a Coke branded in Aurebesh?

For a while, you could fully entrench yourself in the Star Wars experience through the Galactic Starcruiser, an “immersive” hotel stay that claimed to let you “live your Star Wars story.” But the supposed game-changer for fans turned into one of Disney’s most infamous flops, and is now being scrubbed from the park altogether.
