Galaxy’s Edge is the place to be in the Star Wars galaxy right now and these themed Coca-Cola dispensers are sure to grab everyone’s attention while travelling around Batuu and the Black Spire Outpost.
That’s right, there will also be a themed, Aurebesh-logo’d Coca-Cola bottle stand at Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge. Most of the Coke stands are appropriately “Batuu” themed, with rudimentary elements and large, wrought iron tubs full of ice with all the round bottles nestled within, but none so far have had these outright themed elements.
The entire cart is classic Coca-Cola red, with tanks and wiring panels out front. On the side, there’s even a Coca-Cola themed R-5 series droid at the helm. Over to the right, you have a weathered station with an umbrella nearby, probably for the point of sale elements.
These stations debut at the opening of Galaxy’s Edge in Orlando in what fans are now calling ‘Batuu East’.
In related news, the Transportation Security Administration have banned these “thermal detonator” Coke bottles from Galaxy’s Edge from checked and carry-on luggage on American flights because they look like replica explosives.
@AskTSA I know these look dodgy, but can they be packed in suitcase? Thanks pic.twitter.com/4uILLMX3eL

TSA spokesperson Jim Gregory explained why they aren’t allowed on flights.
“Replica items are not allowed on aircraft. (R)eplica and inert explosives aren’t allowed in either carry-on or checked bags. It could create concern that it’s the real thing.”
Of course ‘it’s the real thing’ Jim, what else would it be?
