I have recently been in a Star Wars mood, I’m pretty sure I’m not the only one. Soon I’ll be watching Episode I-VI in preparation for The Force Awakens. TV stations have already been showing them, so I’ve caught bits and pieces, and my biggest question is, what is Jawa juice?

In Episode II: Attack of the Clones, Obi-Wan visits Dex at his diner. The droid waitress, FLO (WA-7), offers Obi-Wan a cup of Jawa juice, but, and I’m sure I’m not the only one to wonder, what is Jawa juice.

We all know what Jawas are, which leads me to wonder if Jawa juice is dead, blended, liquefied Jawa. And I have wondered for a while.

Well, let me put your mind at ease. Jawa juice is a nickname for an alcoholic drink made with bantha hide and fermented grains. Officially it is called an Ardees, manufactured by the Ardees Beverage Company.

Etee uwanna waa.
