Soulean brandy

OnACanonArticle

"We could raise a glass in her memory. I have a bottle of Soulean brandy I've been meaning to open for quite some time."
―Dooku to Rael Averross, about Nim Pianna[2]

Soulean brandy[3] was a type of brandy[2] originating from the Soule system[1][2] in the Core Worlds.[4] The brandy could be consumed by Altiri and humans. At some point, the Jedi Master Dooku acquired a bottle of Soulean brandy.[2] In 42 BBY,[5] Dooku met with his former Padawan, the Jedi Rael Averross, in the Galactic Senate Building on the planet Coruscant. As they reminisced about the death of Averross' apprentice,[2] the Tholothian[6] Nim Pianna, from years before, Dooku suggested they imbibe his bottle of Soulean brandy in her honor. Averross declined, proposing Dooku share the beverage with his other close colleagues, the Jedi Lene Kostana and Sifo-Dyas.[2]

Around 23 BBY,[7] Dooku sent his recently recruited Sith assassin, Asajj Ventress, to investigate his sister Jenza's location. After Ventress found Jenza, the latter told her of Dooku's conversation with Averross about Soulean brandy years before.[2]

Behind the scenes

Soulean brandy was mentioned in a flashback sequence in the audio drama Dooku: Jedi Lost, written by Cavan Scott[2] and published on April 30, 2019.[8] The spelling of Soulean brandy was confirmed by the audio drama's script release[3] on October 1 of the same year.[8]

Notes and references

  1. ↑ 1.0 1.1 The Essential Atlas and Galactic Cartography: Official Discussion (post by jasonfry) on the Jedi Council Forums' Literature board (December 11, 2007): "I wouldn't get your hopes up re alien homeworlds, beyond simple stuff like the Planetnamian species getting a Planetnamia on the map or things Dan and I can account for with a relatively quick reference." (backup link) (screenshot) Jason Fry, co-author of The Essential Atlas and a number of maps in the current Star Wars canon (see a list here), stated his intention to create homeworlds for numerous species based on context implied from their names. Given this principle, this article makes a similar basic assumption for Soulean brandy in relation to Soule system.
