Star Wars Pop-Up Catina Headed To Hollywood

One of the successful business models the U.S. is starting to borrow from Japan is that of pop-up stores.

Temporary storefronts created to capitalize on the popularity of a particular trend or brand, pop-up store fronts have been increasingly common in big U.S. cities, and recent movements have brought them to places like movie theaters (there were pop-up shops for both Captain America: Civil War and Suicide Squad if you knew where to look).

Now, one such storefront is coming to Hollywood...and it encourages cosplay.

Nerdist reports that a pop-up eatery designed to evoke the look and feel of the Mos Eisley Cantina from Star Wars will open up in Southern California next week.

According to the website for the "Scum and Villainy Cantina," the restaurant "is nestled less than 12 parsecs away, in the wretched hive of Hollywood, CA. This temporary pop-up experience transports you into a fully immersive environment where you drink, eat, and hang out as if you were in a galaxy far away. If you've got the credits, we'll serve your kind here… just make sure to leave your droids at home. Costumes encouraged."

Included with your reservation -- which you can't make yet, but keep checking back -- is two drinks of your choice, a souvenir pint glass, Scum and Villainy challenge coin, a few extra surprises, and two hours of the most immersive galactic scenery this far into the outer-rim.
