"You really think you can find all that?"
"Sure!"

Behind the scenes

Colo claw roe first appeared in the May 2018 film Solo: A Star Wars Story, though it was unnamed.^[2] A StarWars.com blog post by Ashley Barry-Biancuzzo specified in June that the "egg-like treat" from Solo was made from colo claw fish and "like the caviar of the Star Wars universe." It was also compared to the Chinese delicacy known as the "century egg" or "thousand-year-old egg"^[7]—named 皮蛋 in Chinese, it is a dark, jelly-like savoury duck, quail, or chicken egg preserved over several weeks or months in a traditional method dating from the Ming dynasty.^[8] The Star Wars food was later named in video games as "colo claw roe" in 2023's Star Wars Jedi: Survivor^[1] and "colo claw caviar" in 2024's Star Wars: Hunters.^[3]
