Coca-Cola and Star Wars release collectable cans for Refresh Your Galaxy campaign

Coca-Cola and Disney announced a collaboration to unite fans from across the galaxy, “Coca-Cola x Star Wars: Refresh Your Galaxy,” celebrates the uplifting power of fandom and community. Building on Coca-Cola’s 70-year relationship with Disney, this global campaign spotlights the ‘power of Star Wars fandom that unites and drives people to create and celebrate meaningful human connections.’

This collaboration brings together the magic of Coca-Cola with the epic storytelling of Disney and Star Wars, celebrating the connections that unite us—across galaxies, generations, and fandoms through limited-edition Coca-Cola cans and bottles featuring iconic Star Wars characters, captivating new creative content, and an innovative augmented reality experience that allows fans to share uplifting messages of community and connection in the style of a Star Wars hologram transmission. 

The 21 limited-edition cans and bottles, available for purchase in select European markets, will showcase iconic Star Wars characters and scenes. By scanning a Coca-Cola can or an advertisement on the street, fans can unlock an incredible AR digital experience and learn about all the collectible cans with beloved characters from the Star Wars universe. Through the experience, fans can record a video of themselves that will be transformed into a Star Wars-style hologram transmission that can be used to share an uplifting message of community empowerment with friends and family

The multi-faceted campaign will engage Star Wars fans around the world, supported by creative content across TV, digital platforms, and out-of-home activations.

“For generations, Coca-Cola and Disney have shared a commitment to creating moments of joy and human connection,” said Islam El Dessouky, Global Vice President Creative Strategy & Content at Coca-Cola. “This collaboration is about more than just bringing together two iconic brands—it’s about celebrating the power of Star Wars fandom, shared passions, and the strength of community when we lift each other up.”

“A cornerstone of Disney’s collaboration with Coca-Cola continues to be creating campaigns in honour of fans,” said Mindy Hamilton, Senior Vice President of Global Marketing Partnerships at The Walt Disney Company. “Star Wars is a powerful cultural force around the world, with millions of fans across generations who carry these stories off the screen and into their lives. This custom campaign is for them and inspired by them.”
