A wise man by the name of Obi-Wan Kenobi once warned against the seedy patrons of the Mos Eisley Cantina, “You will never find a more wretched hive of scum and villainy.”

Look no further than Space Dive Episode V: Smuggler’s Oasis — a lawless and immersive re-creation of the underbelly of Star Wars, where scavengers and outlaws come to gamble, network, bargain, and get black-hole drunk. Space Dive’s latest iteration once again transformed the Tangent Gallery into a galaxy far, far away with two nights of lightsaber duels, space jams, and lots of blue milk. Oh, this year’s event welcomed a 23-foot A-wing starfighter and, per usual, the coolest costumes this side of Tatooine.
