Oreo's Special Edition Star Wars Cookies Are Here to Feed Your Inner Wookiee
Oreo has dropped a collaboration with Lucasfilm featuring special edition Star Wars sandwich cookies. Fans will be able to buy packs of the classic treat representing either the light side or dark side of the Force.
The fun catch? You won’t know which side you’ve got until you actually open the package. Each pack will feature one of two different color fillings: red for the dark side and blue for the light side—both infused with “kyber” sugar crystals inspired by lightsaber cores. The Oreos also feature heroes or villains embossed on the cookies themselves, with characters like Darth Vader, Darth Maul, and a stormtrooper representing the dark side, and Luke Skywalker, Yoda, and Princess Leia representing the light side. In total, there will be 20 iconic characters featured.
The limited time Star Wars Oreo cookie packs will be available for presale starting May 30 at Oreo.com/StarWars and they will begin rolling out at retailers nationwide June 10. Take a look at the designs in the gallery ahead!
Dark Side or Light Side
The Star Wars Oreo cookie packs feature original character artwork hand-painted by Lucasfilm’s legendary illustrator Greg Hildebrandt, who’s worked on the iconic Star Wars posters since 1977.
Count Dooku
Now you too can behead Dooku into a glass of milk.
Obi-Wan Kenobi
You may strike this cookie down but it will become more powerful after consumption.
Yoda
If you hesitate to eat this one, Yoda will remind you “do or do not, there is no try.”
Rey
If you eat this cookie you will also become a Skywalker.
Scout Trooper
There are so many other villains but I guess a scout trooper would be easiest to eat.
Chewbacca
WOOKIEE COOKIE!! Om nom nom.
R2-D2
Sad but tasty beeps.
C-3PO
Well it’s what he deserves, to be dunked with impunity.
Mace Windu
Okay, but this one should have been a surprise purple filling.
Darth Vader
Might go well with some burned s’mores.
Darth Maul
Hands down the perfect Oreo cookie: you can split him in half, just like in the movie.
Darth Sidious
I would be so mad if I got a pack with mostly Darth Sidious in them. Like “somehow, Palpatine has returned” mad, and dejected as I ate the cookie.
Kylo Ren
Love this design, I want “MOOOORREEEEEEE!”
Luke Skywalker
They went with young Luke, perfect to dunk in blue milk.
Han Solo
Might be fun to eat frozen.
Princess Leia
Look at her space buns!
Jabba The Hutt
Looks like Jabba has a mustache.
Stormtrooper
We’ll never miss eating these.
Boba Fett
Get in the Sarlacc pit—I mean our mouths.
General Grievous
Must have that extra kyber crystal crunch.
The new Star Wars Oreo cookie packs will be available for presale starting May 30 at Oreo.com/StarWars and will begin rolling out at retailers nationwide beginning June 10. They will be available only for a limited time.
