We have had Star Wars everything else, why not add fast food to the list. Check out these Darth Vader and Jedi burgers available at French restaurant "Quick"..



The black bun is fairly self explanatory, but I guess the only way they could make the other one into a "Jedi burger" is arrange some cheese to look like Yoda's..teeth? At least that's the lads over at HeyUguys theory. I think they should have gone with Obi-Wan and made it look like it had a grey beard. Yes they are ridiculous, and yes I want them. Now.

Lots of places do movie tie in promotions, cups, toys etc, but this is the first time I have seen the actual food altered so much.

Jedi burger...what's so different? Oh, wait. Yes, those Yoda teeth. Very smart, it is. Instead, more interested in finding out how those black buns actually taste I am.

There's just something unnatural about black buns on a burger. Otherwise, it's not a bad gimmick.

Well, that's why he wears the suit :P

To eat any kind of burger is joining the Dark Side, no burger is good for you, plus Jedi's were based on Monks, and therefore do not eat dead animals due to the negative chemicals released into the animals body at the stress of its death, plus the negative DNA of the meat. So don't eat shit food if you really are a Jedi ;)

I failed to mention that it is also out of pure compassion first and foremost as to why a Jedi would not eat a dead animal.

I don't want food that was actually cooked with Sith lightning.

you call it a couple... now you should name it a threesome... You forgot the "dark burger" that is supposed to remind us of Darth Maul

It's going to take a lot of bourbon to make me eat that burger. May as well get started.

I like thinking of the fact that someone in marketing said: "No, no one's going to eat a green hamburger. Just make that one normal."

I would eat them both with a side of fattoush.

You know, years ago I was a die hard SW fan. I was 19 when "Phantom Menace" came out. Did n't hate it, certainly wasn't "Empire" though. The whoring since the prequels came out and all of this Clone Wars stuff (even though some of what I have seen from the show is cool) has really turned me off. SW went from a film classic to just another crappy series.

The Transformers trilogy is better than the Prequels.

The "dark side" burger looks like a turd inbetween two pieces of charcoal, mmmmmmmmm yummy!!

But hey if they made a Princess Ameidala burger (I think that was her name, you know the Natalie Portman chick) I'd stick my face inbetween those two buns, ;)

That was for u Teabag ;)

Hey if I wanted a jet black bun, I'd keep it in the toaster for a good 10 minutes. But I guess that wouldn't be "Quick".
