I am a confirmed themed party food nerd, so I made sure that all the menu items for the Star Wars party had appropriately dorky names. The food was all relatively low-maintenance and inexpensive too, from the burgers to the no-bake cookies. I hope you can take some of these ideas and use them for your Star Wars birthday party!
STAR WARS PARTY FOOD MENU
Han Burgers – Frozen burger patties I cooked in the crock pot, served on buns with all the fixins
Vader Taters – French fries from a local diner
Millenium Falcorn – Steam in the bag corn
Storm Trooper Scoopers – Scoop-shaped corn chips and salsa
Carbonite Jello – My son’s Han Solo toy encased in gelatin
Yoda Soda – A special swampy green punch (recipe below)
Dark Side Chocolate Cake – Dark chocolate cake from a box because I can’t bake cakes from scratch
C3P Oreo Ice Cream – Cookies ‘n’ Cream ice cream
Wookie Cookies – Standard peanut butter and chocolate no-bake cookies
Qui Gon Jin-gerbread Stars – Pilsbury refrigerated gingerbread cookies cut into stars
Endor Trail Mix – A sweet, Ewok-themed snack
I designed the food signs using PicMonkey and had them printed off at Walgreens. At the end of the post, you will find a way to download your own copies of the signs if you would like to use them for your party.
The Yoda Soda was just a 2 liter of lemon-lime pop and a half gallon of lime sherbet. The result looked very much like a Dagobah swamp, but was surprisingly tasty.
I trapped Han Solo in some Carbonite Jello by mixing blue raspberry and orange jello together. It was a little more green than I would have liked, but it was still pretty cool.
The Endor Trail Mix was a combination of sugar pop cereal, mint M&Ms, yogurt-covered raisins, and chocolate graham bears (meant to look like Ewoks).
I was so pleased with the BetterCreme frosting that I used for my daughter’s Mickey party, that I used it again this time, in vanilla instead of chocolate. I frosted the cake and filled all the Qui-Gon Jin-gerbread Stars with the one carton of frosting.
I decorated the cake with Wilton Darth Vader and Yoda decorations and my son’s name. I will share how I created my son’s name in chocolate later today.
Since I am such a naming nerd, I came up with a few more Star Wars menu items that we did not end up using:
- Luke Skywalking Tacos
- Boba Fettuccini Alfredo
- Jabba Juice
- Pada –Wontons
- Darth Maulted Milkshakes
- Admiral Ack-Bars

Hi Jessica!
Thanks for all your Star Wars ideas! I’m frantically trying to get my son’s party together for Saturday! I’m using almost all of your food ideas and printing the labels but do you have a blank label that I could use to add Hutt Dogs and a few other food items??
Thanks so much…excited!!

I don't, sorry! You might be able to do some alterations with photo editing software though. Hope your son's party is fantastic!
These are awesome ideas! So fun and creative. I can’t wait to use them for May the fourth…be with you. I think my kids will enjoy it. Thanks for sharing!
