God, I’m an idiot! I totally forgot that if you’re trying to stay alive in these deadly, unheard-of conditions—and if you can’t slice open the corpse of a tauntaun—then you can drink hot chocolate!
Hot chocolate was an exotic warm chocolate milk drink. It had many aficionados, some of the most famous being Lando Calrissian and Luke Skywalker. Skywalker had grown so fond of the drink that he had kept a secret stash of the pods used to make it aboard his brother-in-law’s freighter. His wife Mara Jade also enjoyed it. Hot chocolate was frowned upon in Palpatine’s court, as Imperial officials preferred strong alcoholic beverages. After the Yuuzhan Vong War, hot chocolate became a rarity, because the Yuuzhan Vong had re-shaped seven of the eight planets that were home to the plant that produced the pods that were used to make it during the conflict.
Helpful instructions on how to prepare this “hot chocolate” can, thankfully, be found here.
Cha ching! $$$. Hey. Who knew hot chocolate pods were the Spice Melange of the Star Wars Universe. The HOT CHOCOLATE MUST FLOW. Wouldn’t want Luke to get the jitters.
And, hell, if I were working for Palpatine, I’d have been a drunkard, too. Never know when that Vader dick is gonna show up and crush your windpipe with his mind. Upper management is such a bitch!
Will has the mind of a Mentat!
Okay, I’m leaving the house now. Nerd level eleven has been reached.
That cafe is strong with the dark side of the Force. A domain of evil it is. But they have wi-fi and hot chocolate pods.
