For the first time, Star Wars Celebration is being held in Japan this year. The new location is exciting all on its own, and it’s going to feel even more special with a food hall selling “exclusive, authentic Japanese dishes.”
Lucasfilm posted the menu on Friday, which features a little something from all three film trilogies and The Mandalorian. For OG fans, you’ve got “It’s a Trap!” Takoyaki (octopus balls), Wookiee Yakisoba noodles, and Light and Dark onigiri balls. Prequel lovers can get the Forbidden Love onigiri balls, Jar Jar Men noodles, or drinks inspired by Obi-Wan, Mace Windu, and Yoda. Sequel heads can similarly sip on some Rey and Kylo Ren-themed soda and iced coffee, but they don’t get much in the way of food. Finally, there’s the in-between treats like chicken for Grogu, droids printed on Monaka wafers, and warabi-mochi inspired by everyone’s favorite sandy hellhole, Tatooine. You can see the full menu below, whose prices range from 800 yen ($5.50) to 1,200 yen ($8.25).
This is the first-ever Star Wars Celebration food hall, and it’s fitting Lucasfilm uses the occasion to celebrate Japanese food. These’s a lot of Japan in Star Wars, which has recently looped back around to letting Japanese creatives take their own swing at the franchise with Star Wars Visions, whose third season will once again feature shorts from exclusively Japanese studios. Godzilla Minus One director Takashi Yamazaki, himself a fan of the franchise, said in 2023 he’d be more than interested in helming a film if Lucasfilm ever called him up. Whether that actually happens, Lucasfilm’s certainly paying attention to how important Japan is to this franchise and wants to further court interest from that demographic.
Star Wars Celebration Japan runs from Friday, April 18-Sunday, April 20.
