Master the Force: Lightsaber Workshop
$20

Before you join the Resistance, you must build the most precious tool—your lightsaber—before going against the First Order. Pick your hilt and the heart of your lightsaber, the kyber crystal. Then, harness the power of science and be ready for battle because the First Order is waiting...

This is the Way: Mixology Workshop
$20

Sip like a Sith and see what it takes to create a Mandalorian Mash Cocktail Shrub. This delicious concoction shows you how you can balance the flavors of the galaxy with the precision of a bounty hunter — like Boba Fett and Din Djarin.

Galactic Cuisine and Drinks

As you journey the Outer Rim, there's a bite to refuel every bounty hunter, smuggler or rogue trader. Step inside the Cantina and meet fellow fighters as you enjoy fantastical delights. Then, roam around our local eateries and savor the flavors of the exotic delicacies they're bringing.

Signature Beer: Imagination Station is offering two specially crafted brews, special to The BASH: The Rebellion Lager and the Galactic Imperial Porter - created by Quenched and Tempered. The two brews offer guests an opportunity to try both sides of the force. Guests can even layer the two beers on top of one another, showcasing the tension between the light and dark sides of the force. 

Signature Wine: Discover both sides of the force with Imagination Station's specially-created wine labels that showcase Urban Pine Winery. Their rich and bold red symbolizes the Dark side while a crisp, refreshing white captures the light, vibrant essence of the Jedi.
