Well, I’ve always sort of assumed they were the kind of beings who’d eat like…the blandest Power Bar-style food ever. Especially during the war – just get your nutrients and get out. There is no flavor, there are vitamins.
That said, if we’re going by The (Old and New) EU we know they had a dining hall with like, actual meals. Which I find endlessly entertaining because, I mean…really. Did they have to stand in a lunch line? (YODA. In a lunch line. With a tray.) Were their meals all comped or did they have to pay for them? If it was an endless buffet situation, how much did the Republic have to spend on feeding Anakin alone?!
Also: how MUCH drama do you think occurs over who sits with who at meal times? Because you KNOW there’s all kinds of Dramatics™ coming from the Skywalker Corner after he gets knighted because YOU PROMISED ME WE’D SIT TOGETHER FOREVER NOW OBI-WAN HOW COULD YOU, and HONESTLY ANAKIN I WAS HAVING A WORKING LUNCH MEETING DID YOU REALLY WANT TO TALK ABOUT THE BUDGET WITH US?!, and OH MY GOD OBI-WAN IF YOU DON’T LOVE ME ANYMORE JUST SAY SO!
Meanwhile Ahsoka’s sitting over at a table with her friends, dying of embarrassment as Barriss is like “…looks like your dads are fighting again, Ahsoka,” as Anakin storms off wiping angry tears from his eyes. Most of the dining hall doesn’t even take notice of this, though. Just another Thursday, really.
anyway i love the star wars universe! the original trilogy, the prequel trilogy, the clone wars, rebels, legends, the force awakens, rogue one *looks at smudged writing on hand* the lost jaguar
