Star Wars Land: a food & drink photo guide to Galaxy’s Edge - Polygon

Not only does Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge feature new rides, locations, and immersive Star Wars experiences. The new park expansion also features Star Wars food. That’s right — food (and drinks) from the Star Wars universe, now available for your consumption in Disneyland, and later to Disney’s Hollywood Studios on Aug. 29.

One of the biggest announcements to come out of Disneyland’s Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge wasn’t anything to do with the rides or the immersive experiences. This one was just for the adults descending upon the smuggler’s output: Galaxy’s Edge would be the first land at Disneyland to serve alcohol.

Pour one out, rebels.

To be fair, Galaxy’s Edge doesn’t only serve alcoholic beverages; they just happen to be a big draw. But there are plenty of other Star Wars beverages filling the stalls and cantinas of the planet Batuu.

Kat Saka’s Kettle

Amidst the bustling marketplace, guests will find a colorful popcorn blend unique to the Star Wars world. The snack has a savory sweet taste, both salty and fruity. We found it a bit addictive, the thing that you blindly pick at while waiting in line, until it’s suddenly gone. A pouch runs you $6.49.

Docking Bay 7 Food and Cargo

According to Galaxy’s Edge’s in-world lore, famous chef Chef Strono “Cookie” Tuggs owns this mobile restaurant, in which he travels across the galaxy and cooks up delicious meals. This is the main dining location in Star Wars Land and thus features the most expansive menu, with options for breakfast, lunch, and dinner that all range between $12.99-$18.99.

Breakfast includes an egg bite called the Bright Suns Morning, an oatmeal concoction with dragon fruit called the Rising Moons Overnight Oats, and a “sweet galactic delight” called the Mustafarian Lava Roll.

Smoked Kaadu Ribs at Star Wars Land — Smoked Kaadu Ribs

Lunch features Smoked Kaadu Ribs (pork ribs), Fried Endorian Tip-yip (crispy chicken with roasted vegetable potato mash), (chilled shrimp with marinated noodles), Felucian Garden Spread (Kefta with hummus in a pita), and Roasted Endorian Tip-Yip Salad (a chicken salad). We really enjoyed the Felucian Garden Spread, a light and refreshing dish that doesn’t really have a contemporary in the rest of the park’s culinary options.

The dinner menu includes the Smoked Kaduu Ribs, Friend Endorian Tip-yip, Yobshrimp Noodle Salad, and the Roasted Endorian Tip-yip Salad, as well as the Ithorian Garden Loaf (a vegetable based meatloaf) and Braised Shaak Roast (beef pot roast).

Desserts — available at both lunch and dinner — include the Oi-oi Puff (a raspberry cream puff) and the Batuu-bon (chocolate cake). The Batuu-bon’s more of a sweet milk chocolate treat. It has a neat little chocolate token that rests on top of it’s shiny, round, gooey exterior.

The main dining location in the land also features various themed drinks like Moof Juice, Phattro, and Batuubucha Tea — along with Black Caf (aka regular ol’ coffee with a Star Wars zinger for a name).

Oga’s Cantina

This dining location the first in Disneyland to serve alcohol. Within the park lore, Og’s Cantina is a notorious hotbed of smugglers and less than savory citizens.

Alcoholic drinks, ranging from $14-$15, will include Jedi Mind Trick, the Outer Rim, T-18 Skyhopper, Fuzzy Tauntaun, Dagobah Slug Slinger, Bespin Fizz, Jet Juice, and Yub Nub (which comes with an exclusive Endor mug, hiking up the price to $42). Morning variations include Spiran Caf and Bloody Rancor (spiked coffee and a Bloody Mary-esque concoction respectively).

The Outer Rim, Bespin Fizz, Yub Nub, and Fuzzy Tauntaun alcoholic drinks at STar Wars Land — Oga’s alcoholic drinks (L to R): The Outer Rim, Bespin Fizz, Yub Nub, and Fuzzy Tauntaun

Various beers, wines, and ciders are available on tap, range from $12-$13, and all sport Star Wars names. The beers are Gold Squadron Lager, White Wampa Ale, Gamorrean Ale, and Bad Motivator IPA, with Spice Runner cider. The wine is Toniray and Imperial Guard.

Oga’s non-alcoholic drinks (L to R): Carbon Freeze, Oga’s Obsession, and Cliff Dweller

Non-alcoholic drinks (all $6-$7.50) include Hyperdrive, Jabba’s Juice, Blurrgfire, Carbon Freeze, Cliff Dweller (which comes with an exclusive Porg mug), Oga’s Obsession, and Blue Bantha. Breakfast drinks include Black Spire Brew, Moogan Tea, and Tarine Tea. If you’re going the non-alcoholic route, we vouch for the Carbon Freeze which takes inspiration from passion fruit bubble tea with pearls.

In addition to its robust drink menu, Oga’s also has one food option during the day, a snack mix called Batuu Bites. Breakfast food includes Mustafarian Lava Roll and Rising Moons Overnight Oats.

Ronto Roasters

The barbeque meat inside the Ronto Wraps is cooked up on a large pod racing engine.

The morning menu includes the $12.49 Ronto Morning Wrap — scrambled eggs, cheese, peppercorn sauce wrapped in pita — as well as Rising Moons Overnight Oats ($6.99). The regular Ronto Wrap, made up of roasted pork, grilled sausage, and slaw, will be available all day for $12.99. Nuna Turkey Jerky is also available at Ronto’s. A collision of familiar foods — hotdog, pork sandwich, and gyro — we like how the salty fat of the meat mixes with the vinegary slaw. Our pita did a commendable job of not getting soggy.

The barbeque joint also features non-alcoholic beverages like the Sour Sarlacc, the Tatooine Sunset, and Meiloorun Juices.

The Milk Stand

Ever wanted to try the ... Green Milk that Luke Skywalker obtained from a creature in The Last Jedi? Or the Blue Milk he served during a family meal during A New Hope? Now you can for $7.99. What can we say? Luke Skywalker really likes his calcium.

The Blue Milk has a fruity, unexpected taste. We like it! The Green Milk... maybe just stick with the Blue Milk! You can read more about the Milk Stand in our Blue Milk review.

The chin is in?

By Colin Stevens and Joe Skrebels

Update 05/31/2019: Deadline reports that Warner Bros. has approved Robert Pattinson for the title role in Matt Reeves' The Batman.

Following a screen test with Pattinson and Nicholas Hoult, it was the former who apparently won out, despite Tolkien star Hoult impressing.

Warner Bros. has told IGN that Pattinson is now in negotiations, despite reports saying he'd already signed a deal.

We'll update this story as we learn more.

Robert Pattinson and Nicholas Hoult will reportedly be screen testing in full costume to potentially play the Caped Crusader in the upcoming film The Batman.

Revealed by The Wrap reporter Umberto Gonzalez on Twitter, he suspects the two are "screen testing in the Batsuit because Wardrobe Department will need full wardrobe test. Additionally, the film will now start production in Q1 2020.”

Pattinson is known for his work on Good Time, The Lost City of Z and the Twilight films. Hoult is known for playing Beast in the current X-Men films, and his roles in Tolkien, The Favourite and Mad Max: Fury Road. Earlier reports indicated that both actors are frontrunners for the role of Bruce Wayne/Batman in Matt Reeves’ upcoming film.

If Pattinson does earn the starring role, here are some of his movies we think fans should check out. For more on The Batman, its list of villains has reportedly been revealed.

It Looks Like Taylor Swift And Katy Perry Are Actually Friends Now And I Couldn't Be More Shook - BuzzFeed

If you're at all invested in what goes on in the world of pop music, you'll know about the infamous years-long feud between Taylor Swift and Katy Perry.

Angela Weiss / AFP / Getty Images, Allen Berezovsky / Getty Images

It all started back in September 2014 with a Rolling Stone interview in which Taylor revealed her song "Bad Blood" was inspired by her relationship with a fellow artist who she was "never sure" was her friend.

Big Machine / giphy.com

She said the other artist had attempted to "sabotage" her Red Tour by hiring a bunch of people from under her. After some intense investigations, fans deduced Taylor was talking about Katy.

What happened next was a lot of dramatic back-and-forth, but it all ended in May last year when Katy sent Taylor a note and a literal olive branch to officially end the feud.

Instagram: @taylorswift

"Hey Old Friend," the note read. "I've been doing some reflecting on past miscommunications ... I really want to clear the air ... I am deeply sorry."

Things have remained civil between the two since then. They haven't really publicly interacted, but there was a theory that there might be a Katy collab on Taylor's upcoming album.

Not trying to be loud.....but olive branches and palm trees are both symbols for peace..........are we getting a taylor swift and katy perry collab I NEED TO KNOW — Big Machine

However, there has recently been some very suspect activity happening with Taylor and Katy and their social media accounts, and I have officially turned into the personification of the 👀 emoji.

Big Machine

On Wednesday, Taylor posted this photo of herself cradling her new cat Benjamin Button. She posted it on Instagram, Tumblr, and Twitter, because she knows he is adorable and needs to be shared across all social platforms.

And who popped in to like the photo on Twitter? Ms Katy Perry.

Now, LISTEN. It's a cute photo and Katy likes cats, so why wouldn't she like it? I get it. But then something else happened.

So, Taylor updated the playlist she has on Apple Music to promote her new song, "Me". And she added Katy's new song, "Never Really Over".

Apple Music

"Everything that happens to us is just part of a story we'll tell someday," Taylor writes in the playlist description. "These songs are the soundtrack of my story at the moment."

Apple Music

And guess what, Swifties? The song is now the 13th track on the playlist.

I think it's fair to say that fans of both are freaking out.

KATY LIKED TAYLORS TWEET AND NOW TAYLOR IS ADDING NRO TO HER APPLE MUSIC PLAYLIST. AS SOMEONE WHO HAS STANNED THEIR FRIENDSHIP SINCE 2008 THIS IS EVERYTHING MY 6 YEAR OLD AND 16 YEAR OLD SELF COULD EVER WANT AND MORE

And they're already calling for a collab/special guest appearance/best friendship in Taylor and Katy's upcoming eras.

katy attending ts7 world tour as a special guest and performing never really over with taylor...yes? YESSS!!!

It looks like this feud is, in fact, really over. 😎

Nicole Kidman on Meryl Streep joining 'Big Little Lies' cast: 'We're so fortunate that she believed in us' - Fox News

NEW YORK – The demand for the second season of HBO's hit drama series, "Big Little Lies," came as a shock to one of the show's stars Nicole Kidman.

The Emmy-winner didn't expect fans to be so dedicated to the character's complicated storylines and wanting to learn more about them.

At the New York City premiere for Season 2, Kidman confessed she didn't intend on doing more episodes when she first signed on to the project, co-executive produced by and starring friend Reese Witherspoon. "The fans wanted it so we went, 'Okay!' and what a fantastic thing," she told reporters on the red carpet.

"Thank you to the fans and the audiences," she added.

Kidman is still in awe that three-time Oscar winner, Meryl Streep, signed on to be part of the cast. "We're so fortunate that she believed in us," Kidman expressed. "She signed on without having read anything. That is a massive thing for a woman with that amount of power and also the fall she could take if we didn't deliver for her."

"It shows the trust. It also shows how she's unbelievably daring and curious and bold. And I love her!"

NICOLE KIDMAN, KEITH URBAN POSE FOR PLAYFUL SELFIE DURING DATE NIGHT

Kidman's husband, musician Keith Urban, was right by her side as she walked down the blue carpet. He complimented his wife's show and said it's "a good insight behind the scenes look" at women's friendships and relationships.

"It's an amazing series," he added. "It's extraordinary... a wild ride."

Earlier in the evening, the Oscar-winner told Entertainment Tonight regarding Urban, “I have the most extraordinary partner in life."

"I will always say that about him. I’m one of the very fortunate women in the world to have had a wonderful father, and I have a wonderful husband, and I’m just very — I love to be able to say that, because to talk about the good men that have influenced me and affected me," she added.

Smollett case was closed weeks before being dismissed: report | TheHill - The Hill

The investigation into actor Jussie Smollett's claim that he was attacked by two men in Chicago who supposedly shouted racist and pro-Trump messages at him was closed weeks before police announced that no charges would be filed, according to documents.

CNN reported Friday that police were told by officials in the Cook County State's Attorney's Office just a week after the actor reported the attack that they could no longer investigate Smollett's claims.

An assistant state attorney reportedly told police officials that Smollett would resolve the case by paying "Chicago $10K in restitution and doing community service."

Smollett's attorney Mark Geragos declined to comment on the news when contacted by CNN on Thursday.

Charges against the "Empire" actor were dropped in late March after an initial investigation into a reported hate crime against Smollett evolved into an investigation into whether the actor had lied to police about the incident and paid two brothers who worked with the show to stage the assault.

Smollett's case generated massive public nationwide attention due to the nature of his claims, which detailed a shocking attack apparently at the hands of President TrumpDonald John Trump Mexican president on Trump immigration tariffs: 'America First is a fallacy' Bennet warns against 'race to judgment' on Trump impeachment Grassley slams Trump tariffs on Mexico: 'A misuse of presidential tariff authority' MORE's supporters. The president has called Smollett's accusations "racist" in tweets criticizing the actor for his supposedly false accusations.

".@JussieSmollett - what about MAGA and the tens of millions of people you insulted with your racist and dangerous comments!? #MAGA" Trump tweeted in March days after the charges were dropped.

The Cook County State's Attorney's Office said at the time that Smollett's decision to do community service and forfeit his bond to the city was a "just" outcome even as Smollett continued to maintain his side of the events publicly.

"After reviewing all of the facts and circumstances of the case, including Mr. Smollet’s volunteer service in the community and agreement to forfeit his bond to the City of Chicago, we believe this outcome is a just disposition and appropriate resolution to this case," the office said in March.
