And to commemorate the release of the ninth and final movie in the Star Wars Skywalker saga, a series of special “Star Wars OH MY CAFE” will open for a limited time in five locations across Japan — specifically Osaka, Tokyo, Nagoya, Hokkaido (Sapporo) and Fukuoka.

The cafe is designed to be a museum-like space with various conceptual art from the film series on display that allows fans to immerse themselves in the world of Star Wars.
