- "My auntie makes the most delicious clear-noodles with sliced yobshrimp and squeezed greencitrus. You'd probably have to fight off four dozen cousins to get some, but it's worth it."
- ―Zyle Keem, attempting to distract Driggit Parse
The aunt of the Iridonian Zabrak pirate Zyle Keem was part of the Keem family. During the High Republic Era, the woman was able to cook a clear-noodle dish with squeezed greencitrus and sliced yobshrimp, which their relatives greatly enjoyed.[1] In 229 BBY,[2] Keem encountered the Nihil recruit Driggit Parse on the Outer Rim planet Valo. When Parse sought to take them into custody for being out past curfew, Keem began trying to distract her by engaging her in a rapidly paced conversation about mundane aspects of their life, including how their aunt made the clear-noodle dish at family gatherings and how the adults at those events enjoyed spiced wine and singing Zabrak love ballads.[1]
Behind the scenes[]
The aunt was mentioned in Escape from Valo, a 2024 junior novel written by Daniel José Older and Alyssa Wong as part of the Star Wars: The High Republic multimedia project's[1] Phase III.[3]
