Calamari Flan

"I can do Calamari Flan… But I can only pay half."
―Greef Karga[1]

Calamari Flan was a form of currency that had a disc-shaped white and blue coinage. While Flan could maintain its shape, it would squish under pressure unlike the rigid New Republic credit.[1] In 9 ABY,[2] due to the recent collapse of the Galactic Empire, the Mandalorian bounty hunter Din Djarin refused to accept Imperial credits as payment from Greef Karga, an agent of the Bounty Hunters' Guild, for capturing four bounties. Despite Karga claiming that the Imperial credits could still be spent, Djarin got up to leave. The guild agent instead offered Calamari Flan, although he only possessed enough to pay half. Djarin accepted the payment.[1]

Djarin later used Calamari Flan on the estuary moon of Trask to pay a Mon Calamari server for information.[3]

Behind the scenes

Calamari Flan first appeared in "Chapter 1: The Mandalorian," the first episode of the Disney+ live-action series Star Wars: The Mandalorian,[1] which aired on November 12, 2019.[4] For the 2024 video game Star Wars Outlaws,[5] the currency was developed to be a collectible item as part of the "Nix Treasure" collection, though it was scrapped from the final product.[6]
