The Transportation Security Administration has banned the “thermal detonator” Coca-Cola bottles sold in Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge at Disneyland and Disney’s Hollywood Studios from checked and carry-on luggage on U.S. flights.

UPDATE: TSA reverses band on Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge ‘thermal detonator’ Coke bottles

TSA officials confirmed that the souvenir collectible Coke bottles exclusively available in the new Star Wars lands are prohibited on U.S. flights because they look like replica explosives.

“Replica items are not allowed on aircraft,” said TSA spokesperson Jim Gregory.

The Coca-Cola bottles sold in Galaxy’s Edge look like palm-sized thermal detonator grenades emblazoned with logos rendered in the Aurebesh language used throughout the galaxy far, far away.

In a response to an online inquiry, the official AskTSA Twitter account replied that the Galaxy’s Edge Coke bottles were prohibited on flights because “replica and inert explosives aren’t allowed in either carry-on or checked bags.”

The Galaxy’s Edge Coke bottles could cause confusion for TSA screeners at airport security checkpoints, Gregory said.

“It could create concern that it’s the real thing,” Gregory said in a phone interview.

That’s bad news for Star Wars fans who want to bring home the unique bottles of ‘the real thing” as souvenirs from the Black Spire Outpost village on the Star Wars planet of Batuu, the setting for the 14-acre lands at Disneyland and Disney’s Hollywood Studios. The California themed land opened on May 31 and the Florida version debuts on Thursday, Aug. 29.

The Coke, Diet Coke and Sprite bottles were designed to look like the spherical explosive weapons used by bounty hunters and stormtroopers in the Star War universe.

“The design of this thing just looks cool,” Walt Disney Imagineering portfolio creative executive Scott Trowbridge said when the bottles were unveiled in April. “Kind of thermal detonator-ish. It’s kind of awesome.”

The Aurebesh designs mimic the look of the corporate brands, with the Galaxy’s Edge Coke bottle retaining the curve and swoop of the twin C’s in the distinctive Coca-Cola logo. The thermal detonator bottles retain their trademark color schemes — red for Coke, silver for Diet Coke and green for Sprite.

Coca-Cola worked closely with Imagineering and Lucasfilm on the look of the Galaxy’s Edge soda bottles to create a familiar yet different design that authentically fit into the Star Wars universe. Coca-Cola and Disney are both listed on the patent of the distinctive Galaxy’s Edge bottle cap.
