"Ah, my little desert plum"
―Bib Fortuna, to Jess[4]

A plum was a spherical fruit with a dark reddish-purple skin.[2] A type of plum known as a desert plum was found in deserts.[4] In 32 BBY,[5] the Skywalker family invited the Jedi Master Qui-Gon Jinn along with the Monarch of Naboo Padmé Amidala and the Gungan Jar Jar Binks into their home on the planet Tatooine. Shmi Skywalker and her son Anakin Skywalker provided food to their guests, including at least two plums. Binks snapped his tongue into the fruit bowl and ate one of the plums.[1]

On Tatooine, Crime lord Jabba the Hutt's Majordomo Bib Fortuna referred to Jabba's servant Jess as his "little desert plum."[4] During the Akiva Summit at the Satrap's Palace on the planet Akiva[3] in 4 ABY,[6] servers offered small dumplings that smelled of fragrant plum to the human members of the Imperial Future Council.[3] Some Hunters of the Outer Rim contestants owned plum-colored accessories.[7]

Behind the scenes

Plums first appeared in the 1999 film Star Wars: Episode I The Phantom Menace written and directed by George Lucas.[1] They were later identified in Chuck Wendigs 2015 novel Aftermath.[3] In the real world, a plum is a fruit with a large pit.[8]
