- "Mm. Nothing like a home-cooked meal. Bet you missed these while you were out there, huh?"
- ―Wendle to Wim
A thermal cooker[2] was a countertop kitchen appliance used for baking. Consisting of dome-shaped transparent lids and dark bases equipped with orange lights, thermal cookers utilized thermal energy to facilitate the baking of small portions of dishes.[1]
In the New Republic Era, a thermal cooker was a part of the household of Wendle and Wim, a father and son dwelling on the isolated planet of At Attin.[1] Around 9 BBY,[3] the family used the appliance to bake a dish embedded in a rectangular container with slightly slanted sides. While Wendle savored the taste of the dish, Wim was picking at[1] his[4] portion reluctantly, despite his father assuming he had certainly missed home-made meals while on his recently finished galactic journey.[1]
Behind the scenes
A thermal cooker first appeared in "The Real Good Guys,"[1] the eighth episode of the Disney+ live-action series Star Wars: Skeleton Crew, which aired on January 14, 2025.[5]

- ↑ Star Wars: Timelines dates the events of "Chapter 1: The Mandalorian" of The Mandalorian Season One to 9 ABY. In addition,
"A Certain Point of View" — Star Wars Insider 228 also dates "Part Seven: Dreams and Madness" to nine years after the events of Star Wars: Episode IV A New Hope, which corresponds to 9 ABY per Timelines. "Part Seven: Dreams and Madness" takes place after the conflict on Mandalore, which is the main event depicted in "Chapter 23: The Spies" and "Chapter 24: The Return," the final two episodes of The Mandalorian Season Three. Therefore, Seasons One through Three of Star Wars: The Mandalorian must all be set in 9 ABY as well. SWCA 2022: 20 Highlights from Lucasfilm's Studio Showcase on StarWars.com (backup link) states that Star Wars: Skeleton Crew takes place in the same timeframe as Star Wars: The Mandalorian and Star Wars: Ahsoka—the latter of which can also be dated to 9 ABY following the reasoning here. As such, Skeleton Crew must take place around 9 ABY as well.
