25 Star Wars food ideas
1. Baby Yoda sandwich
2. Bantha cocoa
Blue bantha milk is all well and good, but bantha cocoa is even better. This recipe is made with white chocolate to make the colour really bright. Get the recipe: Totally The Bomb
3. Sarlacc bundt cake
Caramel bundt cake meets Biscoff crumbs meets salted caramel in this delicious creature-themed bake. Believe it or not, his teeth are made from buttercream... Get the recipe: Yummy Crumble
4. Chewbacca breakfast
5. Boba Fett-uccine
6. Carbonite jelly
All you need is a Han Solo figurine and some jelly cubes for this brilliant idea. Of course, real carbonite is grey, but we think the orange jelly is far more appealing... See more: The Chive
7. Chewie noodles
It's not all cakes and sweet treats (although we're not going to pretend that they're not our favourites... ) This healthy soba-noodle Chewie is just the thing for a Wookie lover's dinner. Get the recipe: Disposable Aardvarks Inc
8. Porg potatoes
Mini potatoes are the perfect porg shape and these potatoes are super easy to make - although they look a bit too cute to eat! Get the recipe at starwars.com
9. Fighters
If your Star Wars fans are more obsessed with the awesome spaceships than the characters, these fighters are just the thing. And they only require three ingredients! Get the recipe: Clean and Scentsible
10. Jabba the Hummus
Jabba the Hummus is full of goodness, unlike his onscreen counterpart! Serve with a selection of crudites like carrots, celery and cucumber for a filling side or meal. See more: The Chive
11. Chewie cake
12. Leia truffles
How cute are these! The chocolate topping and adorable Rolo buns are hiding an Oreo truffle centre. Bet you can't eat just one... Get the recipe: The Cookie Rookie
13. Jawa brownies
These shaped brownies are perfect for recreating Jawa's hooded silhouette. The added twist? A dash of peppermint. Get the recipe: Yummy Crumble
14. Star Wars macaroons
Macaroons are one of the more advanced Star Wars bakes, but the icing is surprisingly simple - all you need is a slim icing nozzle and a steady hand. Get the recipe: Semi Sweet Designs
15. Obi-Wan Kabab-ies
The maker of these kebabs has gone for just watermelon, but you could mix up your Obi-Wan Kabab-ies with any kind of fruit (or veggies) that you like. Print the label: All Things With Purpose
16. Princess Leia donut
17. Pretzel lightsabers
These two-ingredient lightsabers won't survive many battles, but they will taste amazing. Think Flipz with a Star Wars twist. Get the recipe: I Should Be Mopping The Floor
18. Stormtrooper marshmallows
Who knew food colour pens could be so intricate? If you're feeling brave, you could colour the whole mallow black and try a Darth Vader design too. Get the recipe: Catch My Party
19. Princess Leia cupcakes
If you thought the Rolo buns were good, check out these Oreo ones! A basic cupcake recipe is topped with cream cheese icing and decorated with Leia's little features. Get the recipe: Just Jenn Recipes
20. Stormtrooper pretzels
Two ingredients and an edible food pen is all you need to make these mini Stormtrooper snacks. Turns out pretzel knots are the exact helmet shape - who knew? Get the recipe: The Scrapshoppe Blog
21. Death Star cake pops
Okay, so the real Death Star isn't actually glittery, but a bit of extra sparkle never hurt anybody. Get the recipe: Pretty Providence
22. Three fun ideas...
23. Yoda soda
No Star Wars gathering is complete without something to wash the food down with. Yoda soda. Add food colouring to lemonade or Sprite, or use a colourful punch. Get the recipe: Purple Patch Parties
24. B88 quesadillas
What makes a droid even better? Cheese, of course. This little fella contains cream cheese (dyed with black food colouring), shredded Mexican cheese and cheddar - serve him with a side salad for a more balanced meal. Get the recipe: Totally The Bomb
25. Ewok granola bars
Tootsie rolls and two types of chocolate mean that these granola bars aren't exactly a healthy breakfast option, but they're a delicious sweet treat for very important occasions, like May the 4th. Get the recipe: Redefined Mom.
