- "Hey, Maz. Pour me another Parkellan Sling."
- ―Han Solo, to Maz Kanata
Parkellan Sling was a brown beverage that was served at the castle of[1] the pirate[2] Maz Kanata on[1] the planet[2] Takodana.[1] The beverage shared its name with the astronomical object Parkella.[3] In 5 ABY,[4] the human smuggler Han Solo ordered a tankard of Parkellan Sling while in the castle searching for the Imperial turncoat Ralsius Paldora.[1]
After finishing the drink, Solo ordered another from Kanata, who initially demanded the smuggler first pay for his previous drink, but then served the man after he shared with her what he was doing in the castle. Solo then downed the drink in one go before leaving to find Paldora.[1]
In 9 ABY,[5] imported Parkellan Sling was advertised on an Aurebesh sign in an eatery in the Coruscant Underworld battlefield—which was inspired by the underworld of the planet Coruscant—of the Hunters of the Outer Rim tournament's Grand Arena on the planet Vespaara.[6]
Behind the scenes
Parkellan Sling first appeared in the video game Star Wars Battlefront II, released in 2017.[1]
