40 Best Star Wars Food Ideas for May the 4th (1)

Star Wars is a hot topic in my family, especially since Disney started releasing new shows on Disney Plus. Not only do both of my little boys love all things Star Wars but my husband is the biggest fan of them all.

It’s been really special watching my family bond over a mutual love of Star Wars. Especially when they do fun things like Jedi training games or Star Wars scavenger hunts.

Needless to say, Star Wars Day is a big day in my household. Even when we don’t throw a Star Wars party I always make fun-themed food for my family. My kids love getting Chewbacca donuts for breakfast and pretzel lightsabers in their lunch boxes.

This list has all the Star Wars snacks you could think of. There’s no better way to celebrate for a Star Wars movie night, a themed party, or a galactic dessert night with the family.

Whatever your reason for gathering may the food be delicious and the force be with you.

Star Wars Sweet Treats

I wanted to start this list with desserts first because I am convinced every creature has a sweet tooth, even a Wampa. You’ll find everything from fun interpretations of your favorite Star Wars characters to tasty treats they ate themselves. They are fun, taste great, and look amazing! You really can’t go wrong with any of these delicious treats for your next Star Wars party.

Sarlacc Bundt Cake

This clever use of bundt cake is perfect for a Star Wars marathon treat. While slightly less technical than the other fun Star Wars cake it is still extremely impressive to look at.
