As part of 'Force Friday,' the celebratory day on which Lucasfilm and Disney released all of the Star Wars: The Force Awakens products, toys and merchandise, the Starbucks in Downtown Disney served three limited edition Star Wars Starbucks flavors of frappuccino.
The limited edition Force Friday frappuccinos were available from a single Starbucks location in Downtown Disney at the Disneyland Resort in Anaheim, California for one day only. The Star Wars Starbucks beverages have attracted a lot of attention on the Downtown Disney Twitter account, with comments requesting that the icy coffee beverages be made available at all Starbucks locations.
There is no word from Starbucks on what the flavors of the Force Friday frappuccinos are. The picture on Downtown Disney's Twitter account shows a chocolate and a vanilla frappuccino with their straws crossed in a mock lightsaber fight. A small green frappuccino stands next to them, with two straws made to look like Yoda's ears poking from its whipped cream topping.
