Foodie Master’s Galactic Guide to 2018 Star Wars: Galactic Nights

This will be food long remembered…That's right – Star Wars: Galactic Nights returns to Disney's Hollywood Studios on May 27, and I've got a special Foodie Guide to everything being offered at this special event! These items will be available at various locations throughout the park.

Dueling Gazpachos at Star Wars: Galactic Nights at Disney's Hollywood Studios

Drawing inspiration from the beloved characters, worlds and stories, our culinary team has created a whole host of gourmet bites just for the occasion, including a few new offerings, such as the Dueling Gazpacho. This dish is a standoff between spicy red pepper and cool cucumber-melon, and was inspired by the famous lightsaber duel between Jedi Master Qui-Gon Jinn and Sith Lord Darth Maul.

Three-Cheese Pasta with a Meatball at Star Wars: Galactic Nights at Disney's Hollywood Studios Sweet and Spicy Fried Drumstick with Pepper Jelly Biscuit at Star Wars: Galactic Nights at Disney's Hollywood Studios

Next up on the list of new items is the Three-Cheese Pasta with a Meatball – a bold pasta inspired by the brave and persevering Resistance Movement, with creamy three-cheese sauce and a spicy lamb and beef meatball, a truly perfect pairing. There's also the Sweet and Spicy Fried Drumstick. This honey-chili glazed drumstick is served with a pepper jelly biscuit, because what goes better together than chicken and biscuits? Well actually, Chewbacca's friendship with the porgs of Ahch-To comes pretty close, and also serves as the inspiration for this dish.

Lemon Diver Scallop with Pork Belly at Star Wars: Galactic Nights at Disney's Hollywood Studios

Speaking of Ahch-To – this dish reminds us of Luke's time on that marine planet. The Lemon Diver Scallop with Pork Belly unites land and sea, and is available exclusively at The Hollywood Brown Derby Lounge. Also exclusive to this location is the Tofu and Rice Noodles, inspired by the vibrant and diverse capital of the galaxy – Coruscant. This contemporary dish features a medley of pan-seared tofu, leeks, red onions and noodles.

Soba Noodle Salad at Star Wars: Galactic Nights at Disney's Hollywood Studios Plantmeat on Rootcrush at Star Wars: Galactic Nights at Disney's Hollywood Studios

If you love the adorable Ewoks, then you'll love the new Soba Noodle Salad, a dish that compliments the Ewoks and their habitat on their Forest Moon of Endor. This vegetarian dish consists of chili-soy Soba noodles, cucumbers and carrots and is topped with a hard-boiled, chili-glazed deviled egg. But that's not the only new vegetarian dish – there's also the Plantmeat on Rootcrush! Inspired by Unkar Plutt's concession stand on Jakku, this ration of vegetarian meatloaf, mashed potatoes, root vegetables and mushroom gravy will get you energized to go trade with the scavengers.

Cheese Grits with Steamed Crawfish at Star Wars: Galactic Nights at Disney's Hollywood Studios Loaded Red Curry Duck Fries at Star Wars: Galactic Nights at Disney's Hollywood Studios

"It's a trap!" …of delicious flavors! These Cheese Grits are inspired by Mon Cala and feature a savory steamed crawfish smothered in decadent Louisiana boil broth served on top of sweet corn cheese grits. Also filled with flavor are the Loaded Red Curry Duck Fries. Based on the Battle of Crait, these seasoned fries are topped with duck confit, red curry ketchup and white blended cheese sauce, a snack that's sure to ignite the spark of hope to any rebellion.

Fish and Chips with Smoked Paprika Remoulade at Star Wars: Galactic Nights at Disney's Hollywood Studios Ancho-Chili Octopus at Star Wars: Galactic Nights at Disney's Hollywood Studios

This next dish was inspired by the Erso's homestead, known for its lowlands and black sand beaches. This delicious meal of Fish and Chips with Smoked Paprika Remoulade comes with root vegetable chips and is sure to have you reminiscing of Lah'mu. And if you're up for more seafood, then you won't want to miss the Ancho-Chili Octopus, exclusive to BaseLine Tap House. This dominant dish of octopus and jicama, pear and cucumber slaw was inspired by the Sarlacc, the legendary creature found in the Dune Sea region of Tatooine.
