Characters You’ll Encounter Aboard The Star Wars: Galactic Starcruiser
Lots of elements combine to bring the story of the Star Wars: Galactic Starcruiser to life but known are as important as the characters you’ll meet during this 2 night journey. Whether its heroes of the Resistance, emissaries of the First Order, crew members or others just trying to make their own way in a galaxy far, far away, you never know who is just around the corner.
By interacting with these characters you’ll make friends, gather useful information, discover secret parts of the Halcyon, launch special missions and more! All of these aspects of your visit are driven by an eclectic cast of characters – some familiar, some new. Here’s a look at who you’re likely to encounter during your visit.
Captain Riyola Keevan
Captain Keevan leads each voyage aboard the Halcyon and is described by her team as respected and trustworthy. This Pantoran is strong, decisive and seemingly remains fair and cool under pressure. But beneath this polished exterior lies an “adventurous” history.
Cruise Director Lenka Mok
Lenka Mok is guests go-to crew member on the starcruiser. She is the captain’s right hand and is also in charge of onboard entertainment. It’s her job to make sure that each voyage is memorable!
SK-62O
This astromech droid is Mok’s assistant cruise director. SK must make sure that things run smoothly and on time. He keeps an eye on all the workings of the ship and is loyal to Mok and Captain Keevan. He loves mingling with guests but can be a valuable asset as well should anything go awry.
Sammie
Sammie is the ships new mechanic. His enthusiasm and good-nature make him an endearing addition to the crew. He’s eager to prove himself and despite all odds always managed to get things done!?
Gaya
Galactic superstar, this singer and songwriter is known for her distinctive music and power voice. Gaya is a Twi’lek and provides the entertainment on board including as the headliner during your Crown of Corelia Dining Room dinner. But rumor has it, there may be another reason for Gaya being onboard.
Raithe Kole
Raithe is Gaya’s manager and its his job to ensure that the diva gets everything she wants – and I mean everything. He’s a smooth talker and is willing to do what’s necessary to keep his client’s happy. While he’s not a member of the ship’s crew, that doesn’t necessarily stop him from venturing into some of the ship’s restricted areas. He needs to make sure that Gaya’s unwritten contracts are being honored after all.
Ouannii
This Rodian musician works with Gaya in the Crown of Corelia Dinaing Room. She also speaks Huttese (the same language as Jabba the Hutt.) Quannii is charming and easy to make an instant connection with. She can often be found exploring the ship during her off hours.
Sandro Alimander
This aspiring Togruta musician is a massive fan of superstar Gaya. You can often find him playing his stringed instrument in the Atrium where you can even join him in a song. However, let’s not be fooled, Sandro’s primary goal is to get Gaya’s attention that is perhaps until a new goal presents itself.
D3-O9
This talkative droid can be accessed via the vidscreens in your room. Her primary responsibility is running the ship’s logistics. She knows everyone and everything happening onboard the starcruiser. She loves talking with passengers but is not shy about sharing her opinions with passengers.
The Saja
As you may recall in Rogue One: A Star Wars Story, the Empire destroyed the Jedi Temple on Jedha which was under the protection of the Guardians of the Whills. As a result, the survivors were scattered throughout the galaxy. However, the Guardians remained dedicated to preserving the knowledge of the Force. The Saja are the descendants of this group. Many have found a safe haven aboard the starcruiser where you’ll find them teaching the ancient art of the lightsaber in the training pods. We should point out that the Saja are not Jedi themselves but are trained to sense the Force in others.
Chewbacca
This Woookiee is the stuff of legend. Bestie to Han Solo and former co-pilot of the Millennium Falcon, Chewie finds himself in the heart of yet another galactic conflict. But if there’s one thing we know about Chewbacca, he’ll do whatever it takes to help his friends in need.
Rey
Chances are you are familiar with this Force-wielding hero of the Resistance. It just so happens that Rey is recruiting people for her cause along the Outer Rim including Batuu. She boards the starcruiser to help protect passengers from the First Order and secure some important information that will help her cause.
Kylo Ren
The Supreme Leader of the First Order, Kylo Ren strikes fear into the hearts of his foes with his imposing mask, long dark robe, iconic red lightsaber and his violent temper. This Force-wielding warrior is determined to root out the Resistance and continues to search for one of its most prominent figures – Rey.
First Order Lieutenant Harman Croy
Both ambitious and intimidating, Croy has taken a particular interest in the starcruiser. Afterall, it seems like curious Resistance activity springs up at each of the ship’s ports of call. He’s on special assignment to root out and expose any Resistance fighters and to raise his own standing in the process.
First Order Colonel Grav Talis
Talis answers directly to General Hux and is intent on ridding the galaxy of Resistance fighters. He demands this his subordinates perform their duties with ruthless efficiency. That’s what Supreme Leader Kylo Ren expects after all.
First Order Stormtroopers
The First Order’s infantry strike fear with their stark white armor. Under the command of Lt. Croy, they are onboard the starcruiser to weed out Resistance operatives.
