here's where to drink Luke Skywalker's Blue Milk – Italian Cuisine

On the occasion of Star Wars Day, in Milan, in the days of 4 and 5 May only, the Blue Milk loved by Luke Skywalker will be available. Here's how to taste the famous Bantha milk, also called Tatooine milk

The event is extraordinary and will last only from 4 to 5 May, on the occasion of Star Wars Day. The Blue Milk that gobbles Luke Skywalker in a scene of A new hope, very first chapter of the saga of Star Wars, will be available on Deliveroo for the price of 2 euros 50. The initiative, created in collaboration with Cereal Lovers and limited to the Milan area alone, will allow customers to order the historic drink which, contrary to what one might think, will not it will be composed of no mysterious concoction. Only from whole milk, 100% vaccine.

Bantha milk

The formula is successful even before being operational, with hundreds of aficionados who promise to taste the famous Bantha milk, also called Tatooine milk. In the imagination of George Lucas, it is a highly energetic drink available on the planets where natural resources are scarce, just like the one in which Luke lives before embarking on the most extraordinary adventure of his life. The drink has become so iconic for the universe of Star Wars to be included also in a scene of Episode VIII, The last Jedi, with the same Skywalker who, in front of Ray's astonished gaze, draws the liquid directly at the source, squeezing the breasts of a Thala-Siren, a creature native to the planet of Ahch-To, and drinking it on the spot. And if some nerds claim that the variant proposed in the last film of the saga is slightly different from the original one – to be decisive is the color: blue in A new hope and tending to green in the film of 2017 -, the success of the product remains.

Star Wars: The last Jedi. Luke Skywalker.

The Blue Milk is not, however, the only food handed down within the films dedicated to the Jedi and the Empire. In Solo: A Star Wars Story we admire, for example, a particular type of Colo Claw Fish caviar, ie a Claw Fish that lives in the sea depths and is particularly valuable. Definitely less than the Hoth Chocolate, a variant of hot chocolate with boiling water and Milk of Tauntaun, a species of snow lizard that lives on the planet of Hoth, much appreciated by Chewbacca. We then move on to the colored cakes in the game room where Finn and Rose speed; for the fragrant loaf that expands with a bit of water a The awakening of strength and, also, for Jabba The Hutt's favorite frogs and kept inside a small aquarium positioned next to the throne. Of the series: better Blue Milk than anything else.

One Star Wars Day sad

The disappearance of the British actor Peter Mayhew, who with his 2.18, was Chewbecca, the hairy co-pilot of Han Solo, is just news of these hours.
