- "Okay, here we go. Daily special. [bug squelching] Nice and tasty."
- ―The fry cook
During the New Republic Era, a noodle bar serving a noodle dish was located on the asteroid Borgo Prime. The establishment was managed by a fry cook and Nibsy, and the clientele included local pirates[2] and thugs.[3] Around 9 ABY,[4] the bar was visited by two young off-worlders Wim and Neel, who paid the fry cook with Old Republic credits. When the cook tried to trick the boys into overpaying, a skirmish broke out between him, a greasy patron, and pirate Vane. As a distraction, Wim flipped his bowl with noodles to flame up the grill so that he and his companion Neel could run off, prompting the fry cook and his clients to give chase.[2]
Behind the scenes
The noodle bar debuted in "Way, Way Out Past the Barrier," the second episode of the live-action television series Star Wars: Skeleton Crew,[2] which aired on December 2, 2024.[5] Before the premiere of the show, the bar was first pictured in a StarWars.com article on August 10, 2024.[6]

- ↑ 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.
