A Piece of Star War History
Blue Milk first appeared in the Star Wars franchise during a scene in Star Wars Episode IV: A New Hope. The beverage can be spotted when Luke Skywalker is talking to Uncle Owen over a meal.
Interestingly, Mark Hamill revealed that the beverage tasted disgusting.
“Well, the original blue milk was what they call long life milk, which you get at camping stores because you don’t have to refrigerate it. And we were in North Africa. So it has additives — they put blue food coloring in it — and it was really ghastly. Oily and sweet and [yuck]! Triggered your gag reflex. But I said, ‘Look — if they gave me blue milk, you bet I’m going to drink it on camera, because what other chance am I going to get?’ So there’s an indication that I’m an underrated actor — I gulped it and acted like I liked it without vomiting,” Hamill told Radio Times.
At Disneyland and Walt Disney World, guests can get a refreshing glass of blue milk at Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge. That incarnation of the iconic beverage is not actually milk, however — it’s a smoothie.
