History
Sometime prior to 4 ABY,[3] during the Galactic Civil War between the Rebel Alliance and Galactic Empire, the Trade Blockade Stackade of Pancakes was a meal available for consumption by the stormtrooper units within the cafeteria of the Empire's second Death Star battle station.[1] The empire utilized a military tactic known as Making rebel pancakes, which consisted of using the legs of an All Terrain Armored Transport walker to flatten rebel soldiers.[1] The B1-series battle droid R0-GR, who served the Freemaker family, was known to make blue-milk pancakes, and once made them for family member Kordi Freemaker, who lied and stated that she was allergic to blue milk.[2] In 4 ABY,[4] R0-GR made blue-milk pancakes for Rebel Alliance Major Bren Derlin aboard the Freemaker's starship, the StarScavenger, after the family liberated Derlin from the Junk field of Taanab.[2]

- ↑ LEGO Star Wars: The Official Stormtrooper Training Manual states that Trade Blockade Stackade of Pancakes were present in the cafeteria of the Second Death Star. Star Wars: Episode VI Return of the Jedi showcases the destruction of the second Death Star. Star Wars: Timelines dates the events of Return of the Jedi to 4 ABY, and thus the pancakes must have been present in the battlestation before that year.
