Watch the Thrilling Final Battle for the Fate of the Galaxy on the Star Wars: Galactic Starcruiser

On our second night on the Star Wars: Galactic Starcruiser, the stakes of the story were raised before reaching a thrilling finale. This article will contain major story spoilers for the Starcruiser.

At the end of our meal, it was clear that things were afoot on the Halcyon. Lieutenant Croy and his First Order cronies were losing patience with the crew and passengers. A ship-wide alert told guests to report to their muster stations immediately. We gathered in the Atrium on deck 6.

The Saja helped group guests into their muster stations. Lieutenant Harman Croy yelled at passengers and argued with Captain Riyola Keevan as the alert continued to go off for several minutes.

Croy revealed that some Halcyon passengers had been helping the First Order, calling out a few by name.

A distressed Captain Keevan tried to defend her crew and passengers, but not before Stormtroopers captured Sammie, who was encouraging guests to rebel.

To even Lieutenant Croy’s dismay, things turned bleaker as the Supreme Leader — Kylo Ren, his lightsaber blade ignited, boarded the ship.

He force-choked Croy and asked Captain Keevan, “Where is she?” When Captain Keevan had no answer, Kylo Ren threatened to drop pieces of the ship atop guests.

Rey arrived right in time, igniting the “real” lightsaber as she entered. Immediately, she became engaged in a battle against Kylo Ren and the Stormtroopers.

Croy called for “no more surprises,” but it was then that Chewbacca appeared, firing at Kylo Ren.

The force ghost of Yoda appeared. It was revealed there were more than Resistance secrets onboard: an important Holocron was stored on the Halcyon.

Rey was able to obtain the Holocron and fend off Kylo Ren. She escaped the Atrium. Kylo Ren followed her, but not before ordering Croy to destroy everyone on board.

Captain Keevan and the crew begged Croy not to do what Kylo Ren had ordered.

Overall

This was spectacular. The tension raised organically throughout the day as we met with Lt. Croy (for this trip, we were First Order sympathizers — we’ll bring full coverage of the Resistance path soon) to help plan and sabotage the ship’s systems. Stormtroopers monitored our meal, and when the alarms went off, it felt like a natural escalation.

The final battle had more than just the main action as the other crew and characters reacted to the situations. It helped add to the chaotic environment, furthering the feeling that the stakes were raised. It was truly a lot of fun.
