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.

Red Lobster has revived its Endless Shrimp promotion starting April 20, offering five dishes including a new addition alongside returning classics—responding to what the brand describes as sustained demand from its customer base. The promotion is positioned as limited-time only. The return of Endless Shrimp carries some institutional weight for Red Lobster: the promotion was directly implicated in the chain’s 2023 financial difficulties, when it was converted to a permanent menu item and contributed to significant losses before the company filed for bankruptcy.
