1. Lightsaber pretzel rods

We’re starting our list of Star Wars food ideas with this one because few objects from the Star Wars universe are more iconic than these brightly lit weapons. Lightsaber pretzel rods are easy to make and super fun, and your guests are sure to enjoy pretending to battle before they eat them!

2. Blue Milk

At Star Wars Galaxy’s Edge in Disneyland, they serve blue milk like this that definitely feels out of this world. Luckily, though, it’s also really easy to make your own blue milk at home.

3. Yoda soda

Another beverage option for those seeking Star Wars food ideas is this bright, unnaturally bright green Yoda soda, which happens to be the exact same color as this important character. Serve it in bright green cups to complete the image.

4. Baby Yoda deviled eggs

Let’s keep the Yoda theme going! With the addition of avocado and some creativity, these Baby Yoda deviled eggs take a classic (deviled eggs) and make it adorable and Star Wars themed. 

5. Pepperoni pizza Death Star

Another iconic Star Wars image has to be the Death Star, which is why we’re featuring it prominently among our favorite Star Wars food ideas in the form of a carefully decorated pepperoni (or pepperoni and black olive) pizza. You can use premade pizza dough and buy shredded cheese to make the process even easier.
