A long, long time ago, in a galaxy far, far away. No, actually it’s right here at the Hattiesburg Pocket Museum on May 4 from 6 – 8 p.m., where Princess Leia, Finn, The Emperor, Luke Skywalker and Yoda will gather to celebrate Star Wars Day. MAY THE FOURTH BE WITH YOU for an Out-of-this World great time!
No matter if you are with the Empire or the Rebel Alliance, you will want to hang out at Mos Eisley’s most infamous cantina, where according to Obi-Wan-Kenobi, you will find the greatest wretched hive of scum and villainy in all of Tatooine (Pocket Alley). Chalmun’s Spaceport Cantina is known for its dim lighting, strong drinks, hot tunes and occasional outbreaks of shocking violence. Patrons can mingle with the Bith kloo horn band, Figrin D’an and the Modal Nodes (otherwise known as the USM saxophone crew), one-eyed creatures, smugglers and fugitives.
Food and drink will be aplenty for purchase. On the menu will be the Bantha Burger (fresh, seasoned smash burger with cheese) $10, Hutt Dog (sausage dog with vinegar slaw & bbq drizzle) $10, Force Fries (seasoned, thick cut fries) $5. Specialty cocktails will be available for $10 and include The Boba Fett (featuring flavored boba pearls) and The Duel of the Fates (featuring a light saber straw). All specialty drinks can be made as non-alcoholic options. Kids Blue or Green Milk will be available for $5.
Those who attend the event in Out-of-this-Galaxy attire or an official Pocket Museum Star Wars tee-shirt, available for sale at the Hattiesburg Zoo, will receive special treatment at the Cantina and will be allowed to draw Galaxy prizes with each food or beverage purchase.
There will be Star Wars Bingo for competitive creatures and droids. Intergalactic face painting by Tori Faith Creations will be available for a fee, and there may even be a special appearance by a galactically famous wookie!
