When passengers board the Starcruiser “Halcyon” for their voyage through a galaxy far, far away, there will be performers who join them as crew members, guests, and even interlopers as they all travel in style to the Outer Rim.

“During the experience, a variety of adventures befall the ship, and onboard characters find themselves caught in the intrigue of a galactic conflict,” the Disney Live Entertainment listing says. “This company of actors will portray characters from a vast and diverse galaxy and will actively engage with passengers as much as with other performers. Every character will be leveraged for improvisational, scripted, and interactive moments.”

  • A youthful and friendly actor/guitarist/singer (20s) with strong improvisational acting abilities to portray The First-Time Cruiser, a Togrutan who aspires to be more than the “alien next door.” This hopeless romantic is a friendly and earnest musician who happily serenades fellow guests in an attempt to impress the Galactic Superstar.
