So I'm finally getting a room I can do up in the new house we move into this weekend and I'm planning on doing it up in a combo of my two favorite things Star Wars and tiki. The working name so far is The Dagobar. In rum, peace you will find.
Hoping I can find some inspiration on here somewhere on tying it all together. I've got some ideas but feel free to throw anything out there that pops in your head.

Longboard, it's a play on Dagobah, but I think you know that. The system that Yoda retreated to after the Jedi Purge and where Luke went to get his Jedi training.
Yep, I'm a nerd.

Awesome pic! I already have a few ideas to try to tie the two together. I'm going to do a stormtrooper (or mandelorian) mask with a moko and there's a guy that has a awesome blog called Surfing Trooper that's going to send me some hi res pictures I can print out. Pretty much just going for if there was a tiki bar in the Star Wars universe. It will have some sort of bamboo rack by the door to hang your blasters and light sabers from and Im thinking maybe some 8x10 "autographed" head shots from characters from the movies that would have visited.

Congratulations on securing your bar space...or should I say space bar. So many folks blend other passions in with Tiki, so you will certainly get lots of ideas here. (I have a little Vampire mixed in with my Tiki.) May the rum be with you.

In lieu of hanging Japanese glass fishing floats, you can substitute globes, planets, Death Stars, etc. Perhaps string lights on the ceiling in the shape/pattern of a pinwheel like the Milky Way...

Awesome- and great to see a new bar discussion (w/o any pics) get such a response. I love the name. Jon/ Hang10, amazing photoshops. The last one almost killed me.
So many options for this bar, look forward to seeing it happen.
Though not tiki at all, there's a fantastic R2D2 cooler that's floating around (on Ebay, etc) that could be filled with rum...? (http://www.ebay.com/itm/Star-Wars-R2-D2-Pepsi-Cooler-NIB-/331139132171)
All the best from San Dago....

Thanks for all the positive feedback! These pics will be the main pieces to tie it all together.
It won't be so much a bar (since it's the guest room) as a place for me to geek out to my TV shows and movies. I've got a good number of tiki/surf items I'll stick in there and somewhere I still have a box of my Star Wars action figures I can stash all over the place. I also saw an almost 3' Darth Vader the other day I'm going to get and put a toddler Hawaiian shirt on. There's also a local guy that does really cool abstract Star Wars paintings that I think my wife is going to have do one for me. And yeah, I have the stormtrooper, Chewie, Yoda and Darth Vader goblets to mix in with my tiki mugs.
