The Whistler bar in Chicago is bringing the Mos Eisley Cantina to life. For one night only, you can spend all night drinking at a bar with the most obnoxious playlist in the galaxy. That’s right: This is your one shot to show up as your favorite alien or Jedi and be taken to a galaxy far, far away. Just don’t show up as a droid. They’re… not okay with droids. I’m kidding about that last part.

Chicago isn’t exactly a wretched hive of scum and villainy, depending on who you ask. But it’s exciting to just kind of get away for a night and pretend to be stuck on a desert planet with two suns, eh? Just don’t walk around hitting people with your lightsaber or shooting up the place with your DL-44. Nobody likes that jerk.

Lookin’ at you, Solo.

Don’t you ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ at me.
