- "Ended up drinking from Cere's flask in the alley! I can still taste the lum."
"Oof, I can't believe I used to drink that stuff. It was the best night I'd had in years." - ―Greez Dritus and Cere Junda
Lum was an alcoholic beverage that was potable by species such as humans and Lateros.[7] As stated on the label, Deep Core was a type of dark lum[4] found at Cid's Parlor in Ord Mantell City on Ord Mantell,[3] on[4] the planet Serolonis,[8] in Mokko's quarters in his hive on Ipsidon,[2] and in Tanda's Cantina on Suria space station,[5] shortly after the formation of the Galactic Empire.[4]
During the early days of the Imperial Era, former Jedi Cere Junda had a taste for lum. After being thrown out of Nar Shaddaa's Slag Pit for fighting, she shared a flask of the beverage with her partner Greez Dritus. Although she remembered the night fondly, Junda eventually quit the drink.[7]
The insurgent and freedom fighter Saw Gerrera drank lum with his fellow Partisans during their time at an outpost on the ocean planet Wrea. During one night of discussion with Idryssa Barruck, the two shared a bottle of lum. Gerrera suffered a minor hangover the next morning.[6]
Lum was served at the Zero Angle, a bar located in the Imperial Bright Jewel Oversector Flight Base on the moon Axxila III. Shortly after the Battle of Yavin, Artur Essada, a TIE fighter pilot in the Imperial Army's Nashtah Squadron, drank lum while at the bar. Essada's squadmate Huck Trompo spilt the pilot's lum while gesturing.[1]
Behind the scenes
Lum was first featured in Tatooine Manhunt, a 1988 adventure book for Star Wars: The Roleplaying Game, and subsequently appeared in a large number of other Star Wars Legends stories.[9] The drink's first appearance in canon was in "Last Call at the Zero Angle," a short story written by Jason Fry and published in Star Wars Insider 156 in 2015.[1]
In the 2019 video game Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order, several conversations can be potentially triggered during travel between planets on the Stinger Mantis, one of which briefly includes a mention of lum.[7]
