REVIEW: May the 4th Shaaken Beef with Tatooine Bounty at Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge in Disneyland
Visit Docking Bay 7 Food and Cargo in Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge at Disneyland this summer for a new Shaaken Beef with Tatooine Bounty dish.
Shaaken Beef with Tatooine Bounty – $17.99
with peppers, onions, and crispy kale
This is quite good. It has a little bit of spice but nothing intolerable. Despite the beef looking weird, it tasted good. It was tender and cooked well.
The sauce is flavorful. The kale, despite not having much flavor, adds innocuous nutritional value. It doesn’t quite hit the highs of the Fried Chicken Baos and Dewback Chili Noodles, but it’s still good.
Rating out of 7: 6
The dish is named after Shaak, a livestock creature native to Naboo.
This will be available from May 4 through August 22. Check out the full list of May the 4th menu items.

REVIEW: New Green Curry Galma Garlic Puffs in Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge at Disneyland
Beverage carts throughout Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge at Disneyland have a new treat available to celebrate May the 4th: green curry-flavored Galma Garlic Puffs.
The Galma Garlic Puffs will be available from May 4 through August 22.
Galma Garlic Puffs – $7.75
Green curry-flavored garlic puffs
Galma Garlic Puffs have been available in other flavors before, but the green curry version is new. They’re named after Galma, a village on Batuu about a hour from Black Spire Outpost.
These were super fresh and crispy. They are light on the garlic flavor. The green curry taste comes through.
They aren’t overly spicy but there’s a bit of heat on the backend. These are a fun twist and anyone who enjoys curry will like these.

New Nexu Toy at Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge in Disney’s Hollywood Studios
Guests can now adopt a Nexu from the Creature Stall in Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge at Disney’s Hollywood Studios.
Nexu Toy – $54.99
The Nexu is a cat-like creature with two sets of black eyes, sharp claws, and quills on its back. Though a full-grown Nexu can be close to 15 feet long, the Nexu available at Creatre Stall is small. Perhaps it’s a baby.
The felines have sand-colored fur with black stripes. They have sharp teeth in wide black mouths.
They have long naked rat-like tails.
Nexu are native to the planet Cholganna but can also be found on Zhanox, Vodran, and Saleucami. Their first appearance in the “Star Wars” franchise was in “Episode II — Attack of the Clones,” when Poggle the Lesser tried to assassinate Senator Padmé Amidala with one of the felines.
A Nexu also appeared in “Star Wars: The Bad Batch” episode “Cut and Run.” One of the creatures attacked the young clone Omega but was fought off. Nexu have appeared or been mentioned in several other “Star Wars” media including the “Bounty Hunters” comics.
The Nexu toy is interactive. Petting its head activates sound effects. Pressing its sides opens its mouth and activates different sounds. Its legs and tails also articulate.
Like other adoptions from the Creature Stall, the Nexu comes in a silver cardboard carrying case.
The Nexu was released on May the 4th, Star Wars Day. Check out the new Batuuan Spira and Salvaged Stormtrooper Helmet Bucket.
