I mean that's the thing, though. There are more luxurious locals in Star Wars. I don't need the whole floor show. But give me something makes me feel like I'm staying on Coruscant. Imagine being able to walk out on your balcony and seeing Coruscant skyline.... Really push the technology of the illusion. Instead of being stuck in a starship.
The people would complain that it looks too much like the inside of a building and not enough like a luxury starliner or something like that. About the only thing that they could do to the decor to keep people from complaining would be to copy the insides of ships like Star Destroyers, the Falcon, or the blockade runner from ANH. And while that would have made it looks more "Star Wars'. it would have been the completely wrong aesthetic and would not have been the right look for what was supposed to be the Star Wars version of a cruise liner.
I do wonder that now that the cruiser is offline, there will be a leak of what the available storylines were and how people were to access them. Since it was advertised that there were multiple storylines, I would like to know how extensive it was.
The problem, fan criticisms aside, wasn't the setting or the base premise, it was the cost. If you watched any YouTube videos or read any reviews of people who went, both paid by Disney and on their own dime, they almost all universally said that it was great and they really enjoyed it. But the universal complaint was cost, it was freaking expensive. And no setting in the OT, changing the premise, more or less interaction, would have drawn in a significantly larger amount of guests to this ,certainly not enough to have made it profitable enough to continue. This was for people with plenty of money to spare and spend on an expensive vacation, but it also, by many accounts lacked any real repeatability. There were small things you could do differently but ultimately the main story elements were always the same. Maybe if the Starcruiser had lasted long Disney would have created a new story to encourage repeat customers. But then again, if Star Tours is anything to go by, they probably wouldn't have changed anything for many years.

Or a trip to Alderaan, just before...
She just sold her home, you see all the rumors circling?
Yes. There are plenty of rumors - such as Iger looking for ways to exploit the loopholes in KK's contractual immunity by fishing for evidence of financial impropriety and even criminal liability. In the meanwhile she was supposedly barred from being in the office without permission in the wake of Dial of Destiny and her embarrassing and unauthorized public announcements.
