Mandalorian and Grogu’ Trailer Revives the Halcyon, Disney’s Defunct Star Wars Hotel

Disney signals a push to preserve the ship’s lore despite the hotel’s closure, with the structure now becoming Imagineering offices.

Overview

  • A new trailer for The Mandalorian and Grogu includes a quick Aurebesh sign reading “Halcyon, See the Galaxy,” complete with the ship’s logo.
  • The Halcyon closed in September 2023 less than two years after opening, following criticism over steep pricing and limited replay value.
  • Disney has filed permits to convert the former Galactic Starcruiser facility into workspace for Walt Disney Imagineering.
  • The cameo reinforces Disney’s strategy to keep the Halcyon active in Star Wars canon through films, shows, and tie-in media.
  • Reactions are split, with some former guests feeling shortchanged by a brief nod and others welcoming the canonical acknowledgment.
