MANILA -- Ahead of the upcoming Star Wars movie "Rogue One," fans can get into the mood -- and much more -- as Victoria Court unveiled a themed room inspired by the popular film franchise.

Designed and patterned as if you are inside the Millennium Falcon, fans can’t help but blush and get goosies as soon as they enter the room.

Right from the get go, a futuristic garage greets guests.

Upstairs, the anteroom was created as if you are in the armory. Blasters are on standby and even a couple of Jedi cloaks are available should you want to wear them while in the spaceship.

Moving into the main room, an automatic door opens for you. There is a spacious floor area where tables and chairs may be set up. Perfect for a small gathering, a huge flatscreen TV doubles as a karaoke machine. A Jacuzzi is situated right smack in the middle.

On the right side sits the iconic cockpit. Surrounded by a couple of LCD monitors and blinking lights, it’s as if you’re getting ready to blast off.

Aside from being aesthetically spot-on, the knobs are actually functional. Some would play sound bites, while others serve as light switches to different areas of the room. The chairs are also ergonomic and comfortable.

A noteworthy function of this cockpit is that it actually moves. With the right amount of forward thrust, guests could steer it up and down.

The bedroom has its own charm -- as if situated in one of the outer galaxies with "stars" serving as the nightlight. Comfortable and relaxing, one can’t help but take a quick nap.

There are a couple of easter eggs that some fans would find charming. A life-sized poster of Boba Fett and the frozen Han Solo are there to be discovered.

NEW MENU

Aside from different themed rooms, Victoria Court also wants guests to try its new dishes.

For something light, Sisig Tacos make for a great bar chow. Crunchy and a bit oily as they are, an alternative would be the tofu. These dishes would go well with a couple of ice-cold beers.

The Japanese flavored dog is another snack that is a must-try. Topped with nori and other seasoning, the dog is flavorful and reminisce of a Japanese snack.

For something to share, the Daddy’s BBQ Pizza might be your best bet. It has a crunchy base and has a smoky taste.

Aside from the classic favorite crispy pata, the Sizzling Bulalo might be able to tempt you more. Served with rich gravy, the meat is tender and delicious. It is perfect to go with a cup of rice.

Gone are the traditional notions that Victoria Court is just a love motel. With the quality of food ramped up and the service definitely spot on, this can be a creative alternative venue to host a party or even a corporate event.
