This convention exclusive comic contains a brand-new story featuring renowned Lepi smuggler turned New Republic fighter, Jaxxon. The Disney Wish sets sail on its Maiden voyage June 9, 2022.Star Wars: Hyperspace Stories Annual – Jaxxon 2023ĭark Horse Direct and Lucasfilm Publishing join forces to present to you Star Wars: Hyperspace Stories Annual—Jaxxon 2023. In the evenings, as the lounge transitions to an adults-only space, the music will shift to more of a “cantina” vibe (TBD if that means cantina music that’s more DJ Rex or more Figrin D’an and the Modal Nodes). Similar to Oga’s Cantina in Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge, signature cocktails and exclusive beers each have their own Star Wars origin and backstory, and interactive tasting experiences will be available for adults in the evenings.įamilies and children are welcome in Hyperspace Lounge by day, and will recognize iconic John Williams melodies filling the space. Elegant beer taps look like works of art, with each design a nod to the planet where the beer hails from - one, unmistakably Mustafarian, gives serious Sith vibes others look straight from Coruscant or Naboo. Bubblers filled with colorful liquids similar to those seen on Canto Bight in the “Star Wars: The Last Jedi” add interest behind the bar, and spirits are all contained within custom glass vessels with metallic details (no Jack Daniels labels in view here). More than just a collection of booze, the drink display in Hyperspace Lounge is part of the show. Scattered throughout the room are various oddities housed in glass display chambers - creatures and objects from planets like Coruscant and Mustafar (I may have spotted a Coruscanti hawk-bat). For the same reason, the decision was also made to portray a sideways (rather than head-on) jump to hyperspace, only the second time ever in Star Wars history. Scenes on the portside screen, therefore, move left to right, in sync with the movement of the ship (think Hogwarts Express). Determining how to depict the jumps was a serious point of deliberation, Handke said, noting that it was essential to consider the orientation of the ship and the importance of not causing guests to experience motion sickness as a result of visuals on the screen differing from the motion and direction of the ship. Travel between planets happens every 7-10 minutes, with hyperspace jumps to each. Spoiler alert, but blink and you could miss ships like a Star Tours StarSpeeder or the Eravana (of rathtar infamy). The fruit of another mind-blowing collaboration with Lucasfilm and Industrial Light & Magic, the screen showcases a satisfying highlight reel of deep cuts and newer additions to the Star Wars universe (look out for Ace Squadron starfighters and Star Wars: Galactic Starcruiser’s Halcyon). The lounge’s jaw-dropping centerpiece, though, is the epic “space window,” a breathtaking high-definition screen displaying ever-changing space vistas, from floating rock to ships cruising (or jumping) by, and planets including Tatooine, Mustafar, Coruscant, and the Forest Moon of Endor. One of the first things guests will zero in on is a Holotube showcasing rotating holographic models of nearby ships (I spotted The Ghost, the ship owned by Twi’lek Hera in “Star Wars Rebels,” during my sneak peek). Once inside, “jewel-colored eye candy” is visible around the room, said Handke.
