In a move of inspired goofiness, Nestle and Lucasfilm are celebrating Star Wars: The Force Awakens with Star Wars Coffee-Mate. People have been taking pictures of odd bottles here and there and posting them online for a few days now, but we can supply you with the list of flavors:
Darth Vader — Esspresso Chocolate (“Come to the Dark Side, we have chocolate!”)
C3PO — Hazelnut
Chewbacca –Spiced Latte
R2D2 — French Vanilla
Boba Fett — Italian Sweet Cream
I can see the choice for Darth Vadar, but I can’t quite wrap my head around the pairing of Boba Fett and Italian Sweet Cream.
What about you? Do you think the flavors and characters match? Would you pair them differently?
Or are you just going to sit down in your Star Wars pajamas, wrapped in your Star Wars Jedi Master Bathrobe while you sip your Star Wars Coffee (with Star Wars Coffee-mate) from a Fancyus Star Wars Lightsaber Mug and watch your Star Wars DVDs for the umpteenth time?
Update: According to Nestle, the Star Wars coffee creamers “started shipping nationwide to major retailers like Walmart, Target, Kroger and Publix.” This means you might find them in one of these stores–unless, of course, someone beat you to it.
Update Two: Sept 3-I finally saw C3PO in Target. As I suspected might be the case, the Star Wars containers are being mixed in with the regular bottles, so anyone looking for one needs to know which flavor(s) they’re after and be willing to go through the shelf looking.
Update Three: You could eat Star Wars food all day, if you so chose.
Does anyone know WHERE you can buy them?
I haven’t found any yet! We confirmed this was happening, and I’ve seen the odd photo of a bottle or two online, but I haven’t laid eyes on the actual item yet.
If anyone ever does find one, please send a pic & the store name!
I have only found that it USED to be sold at Target stores, but is no longer available…

I found boba fett at Wal-Mart
Yay!
Walmart carries the Boba Fett one
Not here 🙁
It’s possible that the Star Wars creamers are mixed in with the regular ones. Or–maybe “started shipping” means it hasn’t made it to your store yet?
I looked some more today without success. I do have an email out to Nestle asking where it is sold. We’ll see what they say!
I purchased both the Vader and Chewbacca creamers at a Target in NC over the weekend. I haven’t seen any of the other varieties yet.
Were they in their own section or mixed in with the rest of the Coffee-mate?
Working in a grocery store stocking them, the new star wars creamers still have the same bar codes as the non-themed, so they will be mixed in obviously because you stock new items behind old ones. As for when they get to a store, the store doesn’t order “star wars hazelnut” they order “coffeemate hazelnut” and it’s up to the distributor to be the one that sends the new creamers.At my store we ordered the sweet cream as usual and one day Boba Fett popped up on a skid.
Thanks for the behind-the-scenes information. I’ve wondered about the why’s and wherefore’s of special item distribution.
Yay! Also, yum–chocolate is the best!
Saw Boba Fett and R2D2 at Target today. Will never see Darth Vader at the local one because they don’t sell Esspresso Chocolate. What kind of store doesn’t carry the chocolate option!?
Have purchased Boba Fett and R2. Walmart Horizon City, Texas.
I think you’re the first non-Target purchaser here.
Edit: Looked back–there’s one other Walmart buyer up there!
Do not get rit of the expresso chocolate creamer ever!!! Love it!!
