"Escaped from Jabba's palace after attempting to poison Jabba's chuba stew, killing his loyal chef instead."
―The bounty posting on Romi Moola[2]

Chuba stew was a type of food eaten by members of the sentient Hutt species that was available during the reign of the Galactic Republic. The stew was made from the[1] non-sentient gorg species, which was named chuba in Huttese.[3] The Hutt crime lord Jabba Desilijic Tiure ate chuba stew and had it prepared by a chef loyal to him. However,[1] by 32 BBY,[4] the chef had been killed in an assassination attempt on Jabba by the Twi'lek Romi Moola. Moola poisoned a chuba stew being prepared by the chef in the hope that Jabba would consume it. Instead, the chef tried some first and died in Jabba's place, which led to Jabba placing a bounty on Moola's head.[1]

Behind the scenes

Chuba stew was first mentioned in Romi Moola's bounty posting in the video game strategy guide Star Wars: Bounty Hunter: Prima's Official Strategy Guide, which was written by David Hodgson and published by Prima Games in 2002.[1]
