17 Years Later, Star Wars Just Made A Strange Language Canon

Star Wars is so relatable, it’s often jarring to remember it happens a long time ago in a galaxy far, far away. That’s why nobody blinks when someone is running through a scene in the original trilogy carrying an ice cream maker or when a Rubik’s cube shows up on the Onyx Cinder in Skeleton Crew.

But because this is Star Wars, these “Earth-like” elements are usually given some sort of Star Wars twist. Qui-Gon makes a wager with Watto not with dice, but with “chance cubes.” Lando doesn’t play poker, he plays Sabacc. Max Rebo and his band play not jazz, but “jizz.” In Andor Season 2 Episode 11, we get yet another Star Wars equivalent of a common Earth concept, and it has a strange tie to The Mandalorian.
