Star Wars: The Mandalorian and Grogu comes to movie theaters May 22, and the new Mandalorian and Grogu meals arrive at Burger King on Star Wars Day, May 4.

Burger King

Baby Yoda, aka Grogu, famously snitched (and later barfed up) some blue cookies in a scene from the hit Disney Plus show The Mandalorian. The folks at Burger King are about to release some Mandalorian and Grogu fast-food menu items and kids' meals, and they'd probably rather you not think about the barfing part.

The show's spin-off feature film, Star Wars: The Mandalorian and Grogu, opens in theaters on May 22. Burger King is releasing its Mando-themed kids' meals on April 28 and the adult meals on Star Wars Day, May 4.

Other than themed packaging, the kids' meals are pretty standard, except for the real treasure, a Mandalorian-themed toy. The meal itself consists of a hamburger or four chicken nuggets, applesauce, kids'-size fries and your choice of milk or apple juice.

The menu items that arrive on May 4 aren't in meals, so they don't come with toys, which seems like a missed opportunity. However, you can nab one of four collectible cups by ordering one of three combos.

There's a BBQ Bounty Whopper (burger with Swiss cheese, bacon, lettuce, tomato and barbecue sauce), Grogu's Garlic Chicken Fries with garlic dipping sauce, and Imperial Cheddar Ranch Tots.

But the item I'm most excited for is Grogu's Blue Cookie Shake, which blends soft-serve with blue sugar cookie syrup and tops it off with blue cookies. Maybe don't suck one down and then go for a bumpy, breakneck ride in the Razor Crest.
