Warning! Spoilers for Sana Starros #1 ahead!The Star Wars galaxy is a big place, so it shouldn't come as a surprise that blue milk isn't the only choice for nutrient-rich hydration. Unsurprisingly, the first Star Wars film remains the franchise's most influential entry on itself. Not only did A New Hope establish the most fundamental elements of the Star Wars universe, but even the most minute details often become bits of world-building. One such example is the classic blue milk, the cerulean dairy-based beverage beloved by a young Luke Skywalker and the Tatooine moisture farming community. While milk in the real world can be whole, skim, 1 percent or 2 percent, in Star Wars your choices are blue, dark blue, green, and introducing… pink.
This new kind of milk is introduced in Sana Starros #1 by Justina Ireland and Pere Pérez. Sana Starros has been a longstanding supporting character in Star Wars comics, and now she's finally getting a chance to shine in her own right. Both Han Solo's former criminal partner/ex-wife and Dr. Aphra's on-again-off-again girlfriend, Starros is now free of their baggage and striking out to find her own path in the galaxy. Her first order of business is to conduct a heist from an Imperial warehouse with Jand, a Weequay smuggler. Jand insists that the warehouse contains something "rare and valuable," and after a brief firefight with stormtroopers, the lucrative spoils within are revealed: po'acksters, and their precious pink milk.
