Burger King is rolling out a limited-time Star Wars menu at participating locations nationwide, with the kids’ meal arriving first on April 28 and the full themed menu launching May 4, which also happens to be Star Wars Day.
According to Burger King, the promotion is tied to Star Wars: The Mandalorian and Grogu, which is set to hit theaters on May 22.
Fast Company reported that the promotion includes themed packaging, collectible cups, and several menu items built around The Mandalorian universe. That means this is not just a quick kids’ tie-in, it’s a full promo built around one of Disney’s biggest upcoming theatrical releases.
This is the kind of fast food crossover that hits a certain nostalgia button. For people who grew up loving Star Wars, and now wait for these franchise releases, this one feels fun.
What’s on the menu
The themed lineup includes:
- BBQ Bounty Whopper
- Grogu’s Blue Cookie Shake
- Grogu’s Garlic Chicken Fries
- Imperial Cheddar Ranch Tots
- Four collectible cups, available with select purchases like the Bounty Bundle, BBQ Bounty Whopper Combo, or 12-piece Grogu’s Garlic Chicken Fry Combo
- The Mandalorian and Grogu King Jr. Meal, launching April 28 with a hamburger or 4-piece nuggets, apple sauce and kids’ fries, milk or apple juice, plus a themed toy while supplies last
Fast Company highlights that the packaging is a big part of the appeal here too. Star Wars fans can grab a Mandalorian helmet-shaped carton, Grogu-themed packaging, Imperial-themed packaging, and even a redesigned Burger King crown inspired by the Mandalorian’s helmet.
This is the sort of promotional tie-in that matters, and will likely have fans trying to collect them all.
How to order
Burger King says guests can order the themed menu through BK.com, in the BK App, or at select participating restaurants. Supplies are limited, so anyone who wants the collectible cups or the themed kids’ toy may want to move early. As Burger King put it, this one is available only while supplies last.
