Third Season's a Charm

 I felt like making another video. This won't become a regular thing... or, I don't know... maybe it will.

My Visit to Oga's Cantina

     A couple of years ago, I wrote this post about our visit to Star Wars: Galaxy's Edge. Although we were able to go twice in one year, there was a pandemic going on and getting reservations to Oga's Cantina didn't work out. 

     This year, however, we went to Disneyland and were finally able to partake in some beverages from that beloved galaxy far, far away. And since this is Star Wars Day, what better time to issue an addendum to my previous post.

Oga's Cantina

     You can't think of Star Wars and not think of the cantina. Different iterations have popped up in several of the Star Wars films and I wouldn't be surprised if, when conceptualizing a Star Wars themed land, the cantina was at the top of the list.

     I ordered the Jabba Juice. When the waiter delivered it, he pointed to the worrt over the bar and implied that the boba pearls in my drink were actually its eggs, and that he wouldn't swallow them whole if he were me. I probably had the nerdiest grin that place had ever seen... and that's really saying something.

     The drinks were great but the atmosphere, of course, is what it's all about! This might be the most immersive part of the full immersion experience that Galaxy Edge promises... in my opinion, at least. DJ Rex live on the ones and twos only a few feet away from me almost brought a tear to my eye. I love all of the clanking and hissing of Star Wars-esque junk. They even had the assassin droid heads as drink dispensers! That's just like in the movie!!! 

Again. The nerdiest grin that place has ever seen!

     The only thing I could think of to make it better would be if an alien character or two would stroll through from time-to-time. I mean... How cool would that be?! It is a pretty cramped space, though. Such close quarters might not seem very practical as far as theme parks go, but it does add to that dive bar on a remote outpost aesthetic and that's really what this is all about, right? I wasn't complaining.
