Biography

Arms braced on a bar behind him, Miow Joon uses his feet like hands to turn two pedals connected to a wheel beside hanging noodles in the Lomi Usqi Noodle Shop. — Miow Joon worked in the Lomi Usqi Noodle Shop on Ueda during his training seasons.

Miow Joon was an alien velospeeder rider who lived during the High Republic Era and,^[1] by 132 BBY,^[2] had become a champion in the profession. During his training seasons, he traveled to the world Ueda, where, despite being overqualified for the job, he worked to keep the circular noodle-drying rack spinning at the Lomi Usqi Noodle Shop in Point Ueda. The spinning spaced out the edible strands of noodle in order to prevent them from clumping together while they dried. In exchange for the work, Joon received a space to work out and free food that was packed with carbohydrates. Patrons of the noodle shop prefered Joon to the noisy motor that operated the drying rack in his absense, and the role earned him the nickname "the Noodle Peddler."^[1]

In 132 BBY,^[2] Joon was in the noodle shop peddling on a perch beside the noodle-drying rack to keep it turning when the assassin Mae-ho Aniseya entered the shop in search of Jedi Master Indara. Aniseya confronted the Jedi and started a bar fight, causing many other patrons to flee. Joon, however, remained on his perch and continued peddling as the fight continued, with the drying rack still turning even as Aniseya threw a throwing knife at^[3] the shop's owner, Cabuck,^[1] in order to distract Indara. When the Jedi saved Cabuck with the Force, the assassin killed her before leaving the establishment.^[3]
