There were many awesome spaces aboard the Halcyon - - the Atrium, the Climate Simulator, the Bridge - - and each added some fun elements to the voyage. In this episode, we took inspiration from a suggestion by Nick Tierce to imagine what other spaces we could think of to add to the Lady H and what experiences these could inspire.We also hear about the recent fun that was had by Martin & Kristine on a trip to Disneyland for Star Wars Nite after-hours event & May The 4th (Be With ...
We were thrilled to be joined for this episode by Dan Amrich, Katrin "B3-4T" Auch and Jude Kelley AKA The Kyberpunks.If you haven't heard their music yet, you are in for a treat. Their flootah music is straight out of a hip unubunko club in Coruscant or a see'ybark lounge on Jakku. There are echoes of many influences in their music but among them is the time that they spent on a little starcruiser that we all know.We chat about the origins of their band, their music, and of course, all ...

We LOVED talking with Dr. Lisa on our episode Hypnotized by the Halcyon back in August and when we were discussing episode topics, we knew we had to reach out to her for this episode!One of the many best things about the Galactic Starcruiser - even now, 5 months after the Lady H. went into dry dock - is the amazing community of fans. We wanted to explore why we wacky humans gather and grow in these communities and what exactly about the Starcruiser inspires such a passionate following. So who...

For us, there was something spiritually fulfilling about spending time in the Climate Simulator - taking in the ambient noise and perhaps stacking a stone or two. We also felt this special something - oneness? connection with the universe? - when talking with the Saja or even just stepping into the Atrium.This is what we wanted to talk about with Cece Beyer, a fellow traveler on the May 4th voyage, and a friend in the Force to be sure. What is it about this voyage that created this feel...
Our episode from two weeks ago regarding a Galactic Starcruiser Cinematic Universe inspired us to think about who we would cast in a motion picture version of our voyage aboard the Halcyon's 275th Anniversary Cruise. Now, of course, our first choices would be the actors we've already seen in these roles so to make things interesting, we decided we could only cast current screen actresses and actors for this little game. We think you'll find some of our choices pretty fun!Support the Show...

Picture this - the Galactic Starcruiser experience is a movie. Let's say it's like 'The Avengers' where characters we've grown to love and enjoy all come together in a combined amazing story. If that is the case, what would the standalone movies be that introduce us to these characters?That's what we explore here today in a fun little alternate universe of dramatic, comedic, and action packed stories.
