This summer’s must-see documentary is a 4-hour YouTube video about the Star Wars Hotel

This summer’s must-see documentary is a 4-hour YouTube video about the Star Wars Hotel The Spectacular Failure of the Star Wars Hotel digs into the downfall of the Star Wars-themed resort in Orlando. It's a four-hour YouTube video that charts the rise and fall of a "Star Wars"-themed resort in Orlando, Fla. "The Spectacular Failure Of The Star Wars Hotel," as the video is called, digs into the disaster of this resort, which was built by the Walt Disney Company and closed after just 18 months. CAROLINA MIRANDA, BYLINE: I did not expect to spend four hours watching a YouTube video about a hotel that closed over a year ago, but "The Spectacular Failure Of The Star Wars Hotel" is no ordinary online video. MIRANDA: Part of what makes "The Spectacular Failure Of The Star Wars Hotel" so compelling is that it's more than a run-of-the-mill internet rant.
