Star Wars: Galactic Starcruiser

Producer, The Bridge

The Bridge is the command center of the Halcyon Starcruiser. For guests it’s an interactive environment blending high-tech terminals with live entertainment.

I stepped in as a producer to bring this highly complex project across the finish line. Beyond the typical scope, budget, and schedule management, my primary focus was aligning priorities across a diverse group of technical and creative teams, including Unreal Engine programmers, Industrial Light & Magic animators, and internal Disney show groups.

A key operational challenge was coordinating the execution of a 48-hour Unreal timeline embedded with dynamic show cues. This setup allowed real-time media assets to adjust seamlessly to variable live character performances. To validate and refine this living show environment, I collaborated with the project team to lead one of the largest multi-phase playtesting efforts at Walt Disney World.

The project’s pioneering format was recognized with the 2023 THEA Award for Outstanding Achievement - Brand Experience.
