Ahrisa was a type of spicy, spherical, baked food[3] edible to humans[4] that was brown in color with small black bits mixed in.[3] In 32 BBY,[5] a bowl containing two balls of ahrisa,[6] some haroun bread, and a lamta[3] sat on the kitchen counter of the enslaved Shmi Skywalker's house in the city of Mos Espa on the planet Tatooine when she hosted the Jedi Qui-Gon Jinn, Queen Padmé Amidala of Naboo, and the Gungan Jar Jar Binks for dinner during a sandstorm.[6]
While in Jabba's Palace on Tatooine[4] in 4 ABY,[7] the human servant Jess ate some ahrisa while watching kitchen droids working around her.[4] In 9 ABY,[8] the bounty hunters Boba Fett and Din Djarin met with Mandalorians Bo-Katan Kryze and Koska Reeves in a diner on the desert world Lafete that listed ahrisa costing 6.12 on its menu.[1] Around that same year,[9] ahrisa costing 3.11 was listed on the menu of a cafe in Nevarro City on the planet Nevarro.[2]
Behind the scenes[]
Ahrisa first appeared in the 1999 prequel trilogy film, Star Wars: Episode I The Phantom Menace.[6] In the current canon, it was first identified in the 2017 reference book Star Wars: The Visual Encyclopedia, which was written by Adam Bray, Tricia Barr, and Cole Horton.[3]
Ahrisa originally received its name in the Star Wars Legends continuity, where it was first identified in the 1999 reference book Star Wars: Episode I The Visual Dictionary, written by David West Reynolds.[10] In Star Wars: The Visual Encyclopedia, one ball of ahrisa is erroneously labeled as haroun bread.[3]

- ↑ Star Wars: Timelines dates the events of The Book of Boba Fett to 9 ABY. As the events of The Mandalorian Season Three, which includes "Chapter 21: The Pirate," directly follow those of The Book of Boba Fett, the former must also take place around that year.
