Star Wars Galactic Starcruiser | Meet D3-O9 | WDI Research and Development | In Cabin Logistics | Walt Disney World
During your two-day adventure on the Star Wars Galactic Starcruiser you are sure to have questions, questions about the ship, it does have a 275-year history, questions about your voyage, or questions about other crew members aboard. D3-O9 is your personal in-cabin assistance droid, always at the ready to help you with any question.
D3-O9 is a talkative droid guest may see on vidscreens. Her primary responsibility is running ship logistics, so she knows everyone and everything happening on board during a voyage. But her favorite part of the job is talking with passengers. Commissioned centuries ago, by Chandrila Star Line’s founder, D3 has seen the ship’s history – and the entire galaxy – evolve, and she’s not shy about sharing her knowledge and opinions with passengers.
In real life, D3-O9 is an extension of the “Living Character Initiative” part of Walt Disney Imagineering Research and Development, an idea, and a concept that will be leveraged to extend storytelling all around Walt Disney World and Disney Parks. For my brief experience aboard the Halcyon, D3 was still in “playtesting”. This video is from Media Day, including some context on the technology behind D3-O9 from the Walt Disney Research and development team, Ashley.
