Whenever a Star Wars film gets released, everyone is excited for the action, even restaurants. At Local Three Kitchen & Bar in Buckhead, they are celebrating “Star Wars: The Force Awakens” with a menu dubbed “The Fork Awakens.”

Offerings from this special menu, available today, Dec. 17 and Friday, Dec. 18, include a salad called Anakin & Padme’s Vanilla Poached Pears; Light Saber Seared Yellowfin Tuna Tataki; and a Gulf of Kamino Redfish dish with coconut rice, “chew-bok choy,” ginger, and “Sith" garlic. Finally, those looking for a galactic piece of meat can order the 40-Day Carbonite Aged Prime Cloud City Strip with whipped C3PO-tatoes, carrot, fennel, Forest of Endor truffle jus.

The Local Three cantina, er, bar, will be offering a Lando Pinot Noir by-the-bottle. Price tag: $100.03. Too much for your pocketbook? Order a Boba-Fernet shot for $5.03.

In addition, from now through Dec. 23, adults 21 years of age and older who bring in their ticket to see “Star Wars: The Force Awakens" can enjoy their first cocktail at half-price.

May the fork be with you.
