Nothing sets the mood for a little dramatic tension like a Death Star hanging from the ceiling like a disco ball. In that spirit, there's now a movie theater with a permanent Star Wars theme.

The new Alamo Drafthouse in La Vista, NE -- near Omaha -- pays tribute to the the beloved franchise with a lobby devoted to a galaxy far, far away. You can even control the 10-foot Death Star from the Emperor's Throne.

"Essentially, super fans can expect a shrine to their beloved franchise and the continuation of that franchise. And that is who we had in mind when we built the lobby," Derek Dillon, the theater's Creative Manager, explained to Mashable.
