Although we first saw it on Tatooine, blue milk has made a name for itself in the galaxy far far away.
Editor's Note: The following contains mild spoilers for Andor. In one of the more amusingly awkward scenes in the fifth episode of Andor, “The Axe Forgets,” the former Pre-Mor officer Syril Karn returns home to his mother, Eedy . Syril is embarrassed, as he’s been blamed for the crisis on Ferrix. He’s just looking for a sense of comfort, but he doesn’t exactly find this from his mom.
COLLIDER VIDEO OF THE DAY In the original film, this is just a small detail meant to make the Star Wars universe feel like a slightly warped version of something audiences could relate to. It’s actually one of the reasons the first film became such a phenomenon; Luke was a relatable character for younger viewers because he was going through the same existential teenage struggles that they were.
The early Star Wars Expanded Universe novels established that blue milk was a common household item in-universe. It’s referred to by a few different names; The Truce At Bakura mentions that it comes from Tatooine’s banthas, and Rogue Planet identifies it specifically as “Tatooine milk.” However, novel series like The New Jedi Order explain that blue milk is found throughout the galaxy, and not just on backwater desert planets like Tatooine.
Disney has made blue milk a mainstay in the new canon, with several references to the drink in Star Wars Rebels, The High Republic project, and Andor’s predecessor, Rogue One: A Star Wars Story. In 2017, Lucasfilm celebrated the 40th anniversary of the original film with the anthology novel From A Certain Point of View. From A Certain Point of View retold events surrounding A New Hope from the perspective of background characters; it was promoted using #OperationBlueMilk.
