Instead, just hop a plane to London. The Fork Awakens—a new _Star Wars_\-themed pop-up restaurant, which will open in London for six nights from June 23—will be set “in Darth Vader’s kingdom” and [promises](http://www.designmynight.com/london/whats-on/something-a-little-different-events/the-fork-awakens) a dining experience fit for a Sith Lord, a Rebel Commander, or even a golden god adored by the Ewoks. After a _Star Wars_\-themed welcome cocktail, the dining experience “will take Foodtroopers into an immersive journey through time and space, with many familiar encounters and interactive adventures along the way.” The four course interactive meal includes items like hutt dogs and “special spacefood,” but sadly, there appears to be no [Pizza the Hutt](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FPZ4yah3ROU) on the menu. Tickets include a cocktail, four-course interactive meal, “set design,” and entertainment for £55 (around $80). Attendees are forewarned that the canteen where the dinner will be held has “strong drinks, hot tunes, and occasional outbreaks of shocking violence.” In light of that, guests may want to BYO lightsaber.
