Burger King just launched a galaxy-inspired meal collab in time for Star Wars Day, also known by fans as May the Fourth. And after trying the full “The Mandalorian and Grogu” menu ahead of time, I can tell you what’s worth ordering starting May 4, 2026.
I can also confirm there’s one item the internet will be talking about almost as much as the food: the Beskard. To celebrate the movie’s anticipated release later in May, Burger King has introduced a limited-edition collectible card inspired by Mandalorian Beskar steel. Cleverly dubbed the “Beskard,” it’s only available through a special one-day giveaway on May 4.

Otherwise, fans of all degrees should attempt to stop by their local Burger King to check out the menu and other collectibles which, yes, include Mandalorian and Grogu takes on BK’s iconic crowns.
Here’s everything you’ll want to know about what’s in store, because the food item you might plan to skip is actually the one I think you can’t miss.
Grogu’s Blue Cookie Shake

As fun as the Beskard promotion is, Grogu’s Blue Cookie Shake stole the show for me. If you’re like me, you wouldn’t typically think of getting a dessert at Burger King, but when I tell you I can’t stop thinking about this milkshake…
Made with vanilla soft serve, blue sugar cookie syrup, and topped with blue cookies, it tastes like birthday cake collided with nostalgic blue monster ice cream. Needless to say, I’d order it again immediately. In fact, you’ll catch me at Burger King on May 4 ordering it if nothing else.
Grogu’s Garlic Chicken Fries

Grogu’s Garlic Chicken Fries come in a carton with pop-out ears, which is cute enough on its own. But the parmesan garlic flavoring and dipping sauce make these way better than a novelty side.
If you’re already a fan of the Burger King Chicken Fries, I have no doubt you’ll like the version on this Star Wars menu. I personally would pick up some additional dips and sauces next time, but that’s just the type of chicken nugget/tender/fry eater I am.
BBQ Bounty Whopper

The BBQ Bounty Whopper comes in a helmet-shaped carton and Beskar-inspired wrapper that’s enough to impress me, but the burger itself holds up too.
What to read next
I do happen to think the Whopper was already the best classic fast food burger, but the addition of barbecue sauce and crispy pickles to all the usual Whopper fixings make this feel like something I’d find at one of NYC’s many overpriced bougie burger joints.
Imperial Cheddar Ranch Tots

Finally, food-wise, we have the Imperial Cheddar Ranch Tots. It was actually my first time trying Burger King’s cheesy tots, and I suppose I understand the appeal.
Crispy outside, fluffy inside, with melty cheddar and ranch seasoning throughout, if you go for that sort of thing. That said, these are the one thing I’d probably skip, mostly because they’d take away precious room in my stomach from my beloved Blue Cookie Shake.
Also, Imperial branding on tots is very funny and somehow works, coming from a certified fan of the Dark Side.

When you purchase the Bounty Bundle featuring everything above, BBQ Bounty Whopper Combo or a 12-piece Grogu’s Garlic Chicken Fry Combo, you get to take home a souvenir cup featuring familiar designs from the world of The Mandalorian and Grogu.
The other collectible product from this collaboration are 8 different figurines inspired by the film’s characters, including one of my favorite characters from the entire Star Wars universe, Zeb Orrelios. You can find these in the The Mandalorian and Grogu King Jr. Meal.
Final verdict
Burger King might’ve been lucky to secure The Mandalorian and Grogu’s fast food partnership, but it has done the franchise justice with a delicious menu, detailed packaging and collectibles that us fans get jazzed to score. I’d consider the assignment understood.
As for the Beskard card, it gives diners something rare to chase beyond the menu itself, so may the force be with you to get one. But even if you miss the card, don’t miss the Blue Cookie Shake, because that’s the real bounty of this limited-time collaboration.
