Jedi knights turned out in force on Nov. 13 at the Gordon Dining and Event Center, for the Ultimate Star Wars Dining Experience.  In anticipation of the upcoming release of the Star Wars movie, The Rise of Skywalker, University Housing staff transformed Gordon’s dining markets into the Mos Eisley Cantina, which included a Star Wars-themed photo booth, trivia, and costume contest.
