Jedi Blue Milkshakes
Inspired by the iconic blue milk first seen in “A New Hope,” blue milkshakes are a fun and frosty treat. Blend blue-tinted vanilla ice cream with milk and a drop of blue food coloring to achieve the galactic hue. Serve in tall glasses and garnish with a sprinkle of silver edible stars for an out-of-this-world look.
Wookiee Cookiees
Chewbacca fans will roar for these delicious treats. Make gingerbread or chocolate chip cookies and use a fork to create a fur-like texture before baking. Once cooled, add white chocolate chips for the eyes and a dark chocolate belt, mimicking Chewbacca’s bandolier.
Light Saber Skewers
Create edible versions of a Jedi’s weapon of choice using skewers loaded with a variety of fruits. Use strawberries, melon, pineapple, and grapes to match the colors of the light sabers—red for Sith, green or blue for Jedi. For a savory version, alternate pieces of colored bell peppers with chunks of chicken or tofu.
Yoda Soda
Mix up a batch of Yoda Soda to keep your guests refreshed. Combine lime sherbet with ginger ale or lemon-lime soda in a large punch bowl. Add a scoop of sherbet to each glass and pour the soda over it to create a frothy, swampy look reminiscent of Yoda’s home on Dagobah.
Darth Vader Dark Chocolate Cupcakes
Embrace the dark side with rich, dark chocolate cupcakes. Use black food coloring in the icing and top each cupcake with a chocolate rendition of Darth Vader’s mask. These are perfect for those who prefer their treats as dark as a Sith’s intentions.
Boba Fettuccine Alfredo
Paying homage to the infamous bounty hunter, Boba Fettuccine Alfredo is both clever and satisfying. Prepare a classic fettuccine alfredo and dye the sauce green with food coloring, or use spinach pasta for a naturally vibrant color. Top with parmesan to represent Boba Fett’s armored plating.
Princess Leia Danish Dos
No Star Wars food roundup would be complete without a nod to Princess Leia’s iconic hair buns. Create these by twisting two strips of Danish pastry dough together and curling them into a bun shape before baking. Once golden, sprinkle with powdered sugar for a sweet tribute.
Han Solo in Carbonite Jell-O
For a playful dessert, create a Han Solo in Carbonite treat using a rectangular mold. Pour gray-colored Jell-O or a silver gelatin mix into the mold, embedding a Han Solo action figure or a similar shaped item before it sets. This quirky dessert will surely be a conversation starter!

Serve with soy sauce for dipping and enjoy a taste of droid delight!
Tatooine Sunset Smoothies
Inspired by the beautiful dual sunsets of Tatooine, these layered smoothies feature bright orange and deep red hues, mimicking the sky seen in “A New Hope.” Blend mangoes, oranges, and a touch of carrot for the orange layer, and mix strawberries and raspberries for the red layer. Carefully pour into glasses to maintain the distinct layers for a visually stunning treat.
Stormtrooper Marshmallows
Turn simple marshmallows into a platoon of Stormtroopers using edible markers. Draw the distinctive facial features of the helmets on each marshmallow. These are great as cupcake toppers, hot chocolate companions, or as a sweet snack on their own.
Death Star Popcorn Balls
Make a batch of popcorn and bind them into large balls with marshmallow cream to form mini Death Stars. Drizzle with gray icing or sprinkle with black sesame seeds to mimic the space station’s exterior. These are perfect for snacking during a Star Wars movie marathon.
Endor Forest Salad
Inspired by the lush, green forests of Endor, this salad mixes various greens like spinach, arugula, and romaine, tossed with green apples, kiwi, and avocado. Top with a sprinkle of green seeds such as pumpkin or sunflower for added crunch and nutrition. This fresh, vibrant salad is a great way to balance out the heavier themed treats.
Jabba the Hummus
A playful twist on a party favorite, this dish involves shaping traditional hummus into the form of Jabba the Hutt. Use olives for his eyes and a red bell pepper slice for his mouth. Surround your Jabba the Hummus with pita chips, carrot sticks, and cucumber slices for dipping.
Porg Pies
Inspired by the adorable creatures from “The Last Jedi,” these mini pies can be filled with chicken or a vegetarian alternative like mushrooms and peas. Use puff pastry for the crust and cut out shapes for the wings and eyes to decorate the tops. These savory pies are delightful and a hit among guests of all ages.

For a savory twist, alternate tomatoes, mozzarella, and basil leaves drizzled with balsamic glaze.
