    S1 E3 - Galactic Starcruiser Tribute Special

    We're so thrilled to share with you a very special, super-sized episode of Board Game Cantina dedicated to Disney's Galactic Starcruiser. It's hard to do justice to the powerful life experience the Lady H can create, but we tried to capture some of what she means to us and to so many of you. Every episode of our show is a labor of love, but the past 4 months since we first experienced the Halcyon firsthand have been a chance to push our storytelling (and one *very* warm laptop) to new limits in order to offer up the most heartfelt, thoughtful discussion we could possibly…muster. If you enjoy geeking out about the Starcruiser as much as we do, you've come to the right place. Join us and our guests, Keifer and Jennifer Woodruff, as we mix up our take on the Gem of Ryloth cocktail served onboard the Starcruiser and play a custom Halcyon-themed tabletop scenario that extends one of the ship's most thrilling storylines.
