For other uses, see Jedi Mind Trick (disambiguation).

"The Jedi Mind Trick doesn't require the Force to enjoy, but might leave you a bit bewildered how it changes flavor as you drink it."

―Eloc Throno, Traveler's Guide to Batuu^[3]

The Jedi Mind Trick was a aqua-colored cocktail served in Oga's Cantina on the Outer Rim planet Batuu that shared its name with the Jedi's mind trick Force ability. In 34 ABY, Resistance spy Vi Moradi bought one of the beverages for her companion, Archex, and the historian Eloc Throno included Jedi Mind Tricks among the beverages served at the Batuu cantina in his guidebook, Traveler's Guide to Batuu.

History[]

OgasCantina DisneyParksBlog — Jedi Mind Tricks were served in Oga's Cantina (pictured).

By the time of the war between the First Order and the Resistance,^[1] in 34 ABY,^[5] Jedi Mind Tricks were served to patrons at the Oga's Cantina establishment in Black Spire Outpost on the Outer Rim planet Batuu.^[1]

That year,^[6] when Resistance spy Vi Moradi drank a non-alcoholic Blurrgfire to stay sober and hangover-free, she bought a potent Jedi Mind Trick for her ex-First Order companion, Archex. To Moradi's amusement, Archex became intoxicated and attempted to flirt with their waitress. As the pair left the cantina, Archex's speech remained slurred due to the Jedi Mind Trick's effects.^[2] In his Batuu guidebook authored^[3] during that time,^[7] Traveler's Guide to Batuu, the historian Eloc Throno briefly described the Jedi Mind Trick's flavor-changing qualities, stating it could leave the drinker bewildered, in comparison to other beverages and recommended Oga's Cantina as a place to visit for Batuu newcomers.^[3]
