Local cuisine

Black Spire hadn’t changed much since The Jedi had last been there, Vader noted as he brought the freighter in toward the landing field nestled into the forest three kilometers west of the settlement. The trading post with the attached cantina dominated the center of town, pressing up against the edge of the ruins of the ancient civilization that had once stood here. Some of the homes and businesses had been built into those ruins, though most were freestanding buildings. The petrified remains of the giant black trees that had given the outpost its name towered over everything, mysterious and brooding. The house directly behind the trading post, where the owner lived, stood out from the rest with evidence of real money. “Those are new,” Thrawn murmured. “What?” Vader asked. “Those houses,” Thrawn said, pointing at a wooded area on the eastern side of the outpost, the side opposite the landing field, about three kilometers away from the edge of town. “They were not there the last time.”

Reading these lines while wandering around Black Spire Outpost gives me a sense of wonder.

Nostalgic, in a way.

It's like a long time passed (30 years in-universe) since they were here, and just the memory remains.

[Including the "CHiPs" image I have in my brain]

Changing the subject (kind of?), 'Raw'n is having a blast in here trying all the food, mostly thanks to your suggestions (forever grateful).

We are totally Team BLUE milk, no question asked. We loved the Rising Moons Overnight Oat (best food so far), the Ronto wraps, the Fuzzy Tauntaun, and the Bespin Fizz.

And we still have a lot of delicacies to go!
