Blue milk

"Rucklin! Where's my bantha milk?"

―Hype Fazon, to Jace Rucklin Blue milk, also called bantha milk, was a rich blue-colored milk produced by female banthas. Sentients drank it, and also used it to make bantha butter, blue bantha buttermilk biscuits, blue-milk cheese, blue milk custard, ice cream, and yogurt. It was notably available on Outer Rim planets, including Batuu, Lah'mu, Lothal, and Tatooine. At Cid's Parlor on Ord Mantell, a similar beverage was served; it was alcoholic and called Dark Blue Milk. During a lightsaber training session, the young Ezra Bridger had to defend himself while the astromech droid Chopper repeatedly lobbed cartons of blue milk at him. Luke Skywalker drank blue milk while discussing the new droids, R2-D2 and C-3PO, with his aunt and uncle. Two establishments in Black Spire Outpost on Batuu served blue milk or blue milk-based concoctions; Milk Stand sold blue milk and an alcoholic Blue Milk Cooler, while Oga's Cantina served the non-alcoholic Blue Bantha.

Behind the scenes

An advertisement for blue milk. The Aurebesh text translates as "Blue milk" : "At markets everywhere".
Blue milk made its first appearance in Star Wars: Episode IV A New Hope, the opening installment of the original trilogy in Star Wars.One early scene was intended to show Beru Lars, portrayed by Shelagh Fraser, pouring blue milk into a jug in her kitchen. However, that footage was cut from the film.Mark Hamill said the blue milk was "life-long milk" with "additives – they put blue food coloring in it – and it was really ghastly. Oily and sweet and euch! Triggered your gag reflex. But I said, 'Look – if they gave me blue milk, you bet I'm going to drink it on camera, because what other chance am I going to get?' So there's an indication that I'm an underrated actor – I gulped it and acted like I liked it without vomiting."The anthology novel From a Certain Point of View, commemorating the 40th anniversary of A New Hope, was first teased on social media on April 6, 2017, with the hashtag #OperationBlueMilk.The real-world Milk Stand at Star Wars: Galaxy's Edge serves "blue milk", which is in fact a frozen plant-based mixture of coconut and rice milks that the menu characterizes as having "alluring fruity characteristics". The Disney's Hollywood Studios location also offers an alcoholic Blue Milk Cooler.At both parks, the real-world Oga's Cantina serves Blue Bantha, a non-alcoholic cocktail accompanied by a cookie.In the real world, naturally occurring blue items are seldom edible. Writer Melissa T. Miller devoted the Star Wars Insider article "Got Blue Milk?" to examining blue Star Wars items, including blue milk, and their absence of real-world counterparts. Miller proposed that blue milk's color came either from its refining process or, based on the way real-world milk can vary in hue according to the producer's diet, from something banthas ate that altered its coloration. Miller also wondered whether fields of blue wildflowers might grow among the sands of Tatooine.The 2020 non-canon video game expansion The Sims 4 Star Wars: Journey to Batuu features blue milk as a drink sold to the player's Sims by the Milk Stand vendor in the Black Spire Outpost neighborhood. In the home neighborhood, refrigerators offer it as a quick meal.
