"There's a plant that grows on Kashyyyk called rillrrnnn. It has a nice snap to it when served raw, but this Wookiee told me—via his translatin' vocoder—how his clan wraps rillrrnnn spears in thin strips of cured meat and a soft dough made from Kashyyykian grains."
―Strono Tuggs, The Ultimate Cookbook[1]

Rillrrnnn was a green plant that grew on the Mid Rim planet Kashyyyk, homeworld of the Wookiee species. It could be eaten when served raw and gave a satisfying snap in this form but could also be used to make the dish known as rillrrnnn spears. One Wookiee clan prepared this dish by wrapping spears of rillrrnnn in thin strips of cured meat and soft dough made from Kashyyykian grains before seasoning and baking it.[1]

In 35 ABY,[2] the Artiodac chef Strono Tuggs included a recipe for rillrrnnn spears in his third cookbook, The Ultimate Cookbook, after a Wookiee complained that Tuggs had not included the dish in his[1] second cookbook, The Life Day Cookbook,[3] which was published at some point after his first cookbook[3] in 34 ABY.[4]

Behind the scenes

In the current Star Wars canon, rillrrnnn was mentioned in the 2023 Star Wars: The Ultimate Cookbook, a recipe book written by Jenn Fujikawa and Marc Sumerak. The out-of-universe recipe for rillrrnnn spears used thin, trimmed asparagus in place of rillrrnnn.[1] The plant originated in the Star Wars Legends continuity, where it first appeared in Rebel Dawn, a 1998 novel written by A. C. Crispin.[5]

  1. ↑ 1.0 1.1 1.2 1.3 1.4 1.5 1.6 Star Wars: The Ultimate Cookbook
  2. ↑ Star Wars: The Ultimate Cookbook establishes that the publishing of the in-universe The Ultimate Cookbook and the culinary tour that preceded it occurred following the publishing of The Official Black Spire Outpost Cookbook and prior to the destruction of Kijimi. It also establishes that The Ultimate Cookbook was published following the Festival of the Ancestors that occurred during that time period. Star Wars: Galaxy's Edge: The Official Black Spire Outpost Cookbook further establishes that The Official Black Spire Outpost Cookbook was published concurrently with the First Order's search for the Resistance base on Batuu, which Star Wars: Timelines dates to 34 ABY. In addition, Timelines dates the Festival of the Ancestors and the destruction of Kijimi to 35 ABY, meaning the tour must have taken place between 34 ABY and 35 ABY and The Ultimate Cookbook must have been published in 35 ABY.
