Good news, nerds: Order 66 now comes with a Coca-Cola. Yes, the largest international cola brand ever is teaming up with the largest intergalactic brand ever on a huge summer promotion. This July, everyone from here to Hoth will be able to get their hands on twenty-seven different Coke bottle and can designs adorned with all your favorite characters. 

There’s also something underneath this global promotion that looks unprecedented at first glance. As part of this rollout, Coca-Cola is reserving three additional designs exclusively for select Disney parks around the globe.

Which Coca-Cola products are getting the Star Wars designs?

Star Wars characters will be gracing the labels of 12oz cans, 20oz bottles, and even those cute youngling-sized glass bottles you can find at select grocers and restaurants. “Ah, I bet it’s another promotion exclusive to full sugar or zero sugar Cokes,” you grumble while wiping away your tears with an overpriced Etsy handkerchief made from a vintage Star Wars bed sheet. Wrong! You’ll be staring at a Star Wars character regardless of midichlorians sugar content. (As for Cherry/Vanilla/Orange Cream fans, there’s no fun designs for you—go kick the remains of Alderaan.)

Which Star Wars characters are they putting on the Cokes?

Allow me to do my best impersonation of Wookieepedia; these are the lists you’re looking for.

Regular Cokes will feature: 

  • Lando Calrissian
  • Obi-Wan Kenobi
  • Queen Amidala, Kylo Ren
  • Ahsoka Tano, Darth Maul
  • K-2SO
  • Boba Fett
  • Poe Dameron
  • The Mandalorian
  • Cassian Andor
  • General Grievous
  • Emperor Palpatine

Zero Sugar Cokes will feature: 

  • Darth Vader
  • Yoda
  • Princess Leia
  • Anakin Skywalker
  • Luke Skywalker
  • Chewbacca
  • Han Solo
  • BB-8
  • C-3PO
  • R2-D2
  • Finn
  • Rey
  • Grogu
  • An Imperial Stormtrooper

And as for those Disney park exclusive designs, tourists will find:

  • The Mandalorian and Grogu
  • A First Order Stormtrooper
  • Chewbacca

Why are we doing theme park exclusive sodas now?

Believe it or not, this isn’t even close to the first theme park exclusive soda! Coca-Cola started selling Coke, Sprite, and Dasani in special collector’s bottles the day Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge opened in 2019. Universal Studios’ parks have featured multiple themed Coca-Cola Freestyle mixes at events like Halloween Horror Nights over the years. Hell, just last weekend, I tried a Cedar Point exclusive Coca-Cola Freestyle mix based on a rollercoaster. (It was that same visit where I got a sunburn so bad, I had to see a doctor the night before this article was due. The soda was not worth it.)
