- "You just want ice. No flavoring."
"Ice is a flavor."
"If you say so." - ―The vendor and Ki-Adi-Mundi
An individual worked as a vendor for the Tasty Comet Frozen Confection Company on the planet Kwenn. He operated a trolley at the harbor market on the island Langdam Key.[1] In 33 BBY,[2] Jedi Master Ki-Adi-Mundi ordered a Tasty Comet ice mound from the vendor. When he asked what flavor Mundi wanted, the Jedi responded that he wanted ice. The vendor asked Mundi to confirm he wanted ice with no flavor, and Mundi responded that ice was a flavor.[1]
The vendor then sighed and scooped a mound of ice crystals into a container for Mundi. When he handed it to the Jedi, he realized that they charged by the flavor and did not know what price Mundi should pay. Mundi gave the vendor a credit anyway, telling him to use it toward a new sign that corrected the pricing oversight. As Mundi walked away from the vendor, he felt good about having helped someone.[1]
Behind the scenes
The Tasty Comet vendor appeared in The Living Force, a 2024 novel by John Jackson Miller.[1]
