Whether you’re a Jedi Master, a scruffy-looking nerf herder, or just here for the blue milk, Green Bay is ready to celebrate Star Wars Day in full Force. From trivia battles to themed eats, arcade games to immersive VR experiences, we’ve rounded up the best ways to channel your inner Skywalker (or Sith Lord) this May the 4th—and beyond.
Cheesesteak Rebellion: A Star Wars Eatery Not So Far, Far Away
No trip through the galaxy (or Green Bay) is complete without a stop at Cheesesteak Rebellion. This Star Wars-themed restaurant is a full-on immersive experience featuring the biggest collection of Star Wars memorabilia you’ll find in the area. Inside you’ll find neon lights, vintage movie posters and memorabilia, and life-sized characters like Han Solo in carbonite and the ever-polarizing Jar Jar Binks.
The menu is also packed with galactic goodies like The Rebel Whiz, The Falcon, Rebel Chili, Galaxy Curds, and more. There's even a lineup of Star Wars pinball and arcade games if you need even more of a Star Wars fix. Perfect for fans of all ages, it’s been a Green Bay favorite since it first landed in 2020 and is frequently cited as one of the best restaurants in the area!
Gnome Games: Star Wars Unlimited Card Battles
This one’s for all the gamer Jedi out there. Every Thursday, Gnome Games East hosts tournaments for Star Wars: Unlimited, a head-to-head trading card game featuring your favorite characters from the galaxy far, far away.
The rules are simple, the gameplay is fast, and the prizes are sweet, like booster packs and exclusive promo goodies. Whether you're a seasoned TCG strategist or a curious Padawan, this is the place to duel it out. Entry is $10, and you’ll get three rounds of gameplay and a chance to claim your place in the top 8. Lightsabers optional.
Edge VR Arcade: Train Like a Jedi
Looking for the ultimate immersive experience? Edge VR Arcade offers two VR adventures that let you step into the Star Wars universe. In Trials on Tatooine, you’ll repair the Millennium Falcon and wield a lightsaber against stormtroopers. And in Droid Repair Bay, it’s your job to patch up BB-8 and his droid buddies before sending them back into battle. It’s a fun way to indulge your inner Star Wars fan and explore the exciting possibilities of VR gaming.
The Tarlton Theatre: Dinner and the Original Trilogy
Love Star Wars and vintage vibes? Come see Star Wars (1977) on May 3rd and/or The Empire Strikes Back on May 4th during the Tarlton’s Retro Replay film series—complete with a themed dinner menu.
Choose from Bantha steak with cheesy Cantina bites or Tibanna wing skewers with Rootleaf stew, and wash it all down with blue Bantha milk or a cheeky Spice Runner cocktail. Doors open at 6:00pm with dinner, and the film rolls at 7:00pm.
