Burger King is launching a limited-time menu tied to the upcoming Star Wars: The Mandalorian and Grogu film, featuring a themed Whopper, sides, shake, and collectible cups available nationwide starting May the Fourth. A Mandalorian and Grogu King Jr. Meal for children arrives at participating locations on April 28. Branded fast food promotions tied to major film releases have been a durable marketing format for decades, and Star Wars properties have historically produced among the most commercially successful.

Warner Bros. Discovery stockholders voted overwhelmingly at Thursday’s Special Meeting to approve the merger agreement with Paramount Skydance, clearing one of the major internal hurdles for what would be one of the most consequential media consolidations in recent history.

The combined entity would reshape the competitive landscape of global streaming and studio production at a moment when the industry is under sustained pressure from subscriber saturation, rising content costs, and the encroachment of ad-supported tiers.
