Tauntauns and tequila might not seem like the most obvious match, but you can expect both this Friday night at Brown Alley on Lonsdale Street. In a week that boasts both Star Wars Day (aka May the Fourth) and Cinco de Mayo, the CBD nightspot is celebrating both with a Mexican Star Wars Fiesta. Costumes inspired by either theme are highly encouraged. We've always wondered what Darth Vader would look like in a sombrero.
In addition to the costume competition (yes, there will be prizes), the night will feature a whole rebel squadron of live performers, including mariachis and a salsa orchestra as well as Mexican and Latin DJs. The full lineup can be found via the event page on Facebook. There'll also be a galactic piñata. Not entirely sure what that entails, but it sounds great.
